Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.

The DKMS package guidelines are explicit that linux-headers should not be a dependency of any DKMS package.

As a concrete example of why including that as a hard dependency is a bad idea, what happens when linux is not an installed kernel?

@drankinatty Do you consider the optimal action plan to be: 1) include the kernel-6.14.patch and 2) remove the kernel-6.13.patch (as it is no longer needed) ?

The 6.14 kernel is soon to arrive. Thankfully there is only a minor patch to nvidia-drm-drv.c required. The kernel-6.14.patch can be grabbed if you want to test it early. The patch is reworked for correct line offsets from @joanbm joanbm/nvidia-470xx-fix-linux-6.14.patch

It's short enough to include here:

(note: offsets in this patch take into consideration the application of all prior patches that also patch nvidia-drm-drv.c. The kernel patches for 6.2, 6.4, 6.6, 6.8 and 6.12 also patch this file. Just add this as the next patch in your PKGBUILD after the application of all other kernel patches)

@lu9dce - do you get any errors in the journal, or xsession-errors or Xorg.0.log? Is there any error for the browser? I've not run into that issue before and will need your help to understand what you are seeing. Also, do you use wayland or x11? If wayland, that wasn't even around when the 390 driver came out, which could explain it.

$ sudo dkms status
nvidia/390.157, 6.12.19-1-lts, x86_64: installed
Great job bro.
If you need my help i can join helping testing nvidia-390xx...

lu9dce commented on 2025-03-07 13:07 (UTC)

This driver compiles and installs but does not activate 3D support Neither browsers nor software that requires OpenGL work

The module is loaded but programs cannot access 3D

I have been testing this with the LTS kernel I have been using kernel 6.1.0 for a month now.. because the driver works on Debian so I decided to use a kernel that is more similar to the one that Debian 12 has

If changing the kernel works, I don't see that it is a problem with Mesa or the current OpenGL

I had previously mentioned this topic here

drankinatty commented on 2025-03-01 23:59 (UTC)

Looks like the kernel in may have fixed what was patched for with the 6.13 patch to the kbuild files. I just removed the patch from openSUSE Tumbleweed for 6.13.5 and the build proceeded fine. I'll update in a bit. If you experience a build failure with 6.13.5, try removing the kernel-6.13.patch.

@drankinatty - thank you for your research and patching efforts!

On my end, both the pre-patched and patched PKGBUILD compiled and installed correctly against:

==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/390.157 -k 6.12.10-hardened1-1-hardened ==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/390.157 -k 6.13.0-arch1-1

Cheers

Package updated!

Thanks again @drankinatty :)

As a reminder, there's no need to flag the package as out-of-date... (see pinned comment)

@vnctdj and @air-g4p, Just updated to 6.13 on openSUSE Tumbleweed with the same Nvidia 390xx patch. Works like a champ. You can push the update.

Also note: the existing drivers for the 6.12 kernel should still build and work with 6.13. The patch is an update to how the Kbuild (make) files will use absolute symlink paths going forward to avoid problems depending on what the working directory is when the symlinks are generated. There weren't any changes to the kernel internals being addressed by the driver patches this time. Since the driver builds fine using the current relative paths and the makefile recipes, that shouldn't break just because of the 6.13 kernel update. (but I've not tested that)

@drankinatty - Just a heads up: the linux and -zen kernels were released today, 23 Jan, both at version 6.13.

Cheers
