@sfranchi Hi.
First a big thank to duht, rdahlgre and drankinatty.
This is how i did it. 1 download package snapshot 2 extract snapshot 3 "in extracted snapshot" create a new file kernel-6.4.path 4 copy patch from rdahlgren to file kernel-6.4.path 5 do makepkg -g to get the sum for patch kernel-6.4.path 6 edit PKGBUILD : add sum for kernel-6.4.path line 31 : change pkgrel from 4 to 4.1 line 11 : add patch -Np1 -i ../../kernel-6.4.patch line 63 7 makepkg as usual
I just added the "herecura" repo to /etc/pacman.conf
[herecura]
Server = https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64
After that, I run: pacman -Syu
both this package and the new kernel loaded just fine.
I think i get faster updates this way, the mantainer uses gitlab:
https://gitlab.com/herecura/packages/nvidia-390xx-dkms
It even allows branching and sending merge requests with new patches or PKGBUILD updates using the site, its very intuitive, I think that's why the package updates faster in this new repo.
I guess my problem is precisely what the patch solves. Can anyone explain how to apply and compile? The instructions @rdahlgren gave below are a bit too concise for me
The package no longer compiles on my Thinkpad W520. dkms installation fails with this error:
CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-gem.o
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build/nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-drv.c: In function ‘nv_drm_update_drm_driver_features’:

make[1]: *** [Makefile:2026: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/390.157/build] Error 2

I wanted to try reverting to the previous version, but downgrade seems to think the next to last version of the package is 390.132. No other versions came out between 132 and 157?
As 6.4.1 is now in core, could someone add this patch to PKGBUILD here in aur?
And thanks to @duht as well. The omission in thanking you wasn't intentional. Locating the 470 patch and posting here is greatly appreciated. I'll make a note to provide proper attribution to all next time, e.g.
(additions to PKGBUILD prepare())
# From Ike Devolder
patch -Np1 -i ../../kernel-6.3.patch
# From duht as modified by rdahlgren at AUR nvidia-390xx-utils page
patch -Np1 -i ../../kernel-6.4.patch
:)
... despite the "lazy" ... comment which I take was dry humor ...
@rdahlgren as I said: patch is very simple and needs some minor modyfications to work with 390xx. You did it right and now all the rest of the lazy ones just waiting for the finished product are thanking only you;)
Yes, thanks @rdahlgren, for the patch!
Edit: Also thanks for @duht.
Yes, double Thank You @rdahlgren. Patch worked perfectly. Incremented pkgrel in PKGBUILD, added the kernel-6.4.patch and b2sum to the list of sources and b2sums, added the patch to prepare below the kernel-6.3.patch, e.g.
# From Ike Devolder
patch -Np1 -i ../../kernel-6.3.patch
# From rdahlgren at AUR nvidia-390xx-utils page
patch -Np1 -i ../../kernel-6.4.patch
Built and then upgraded the -dkms, -utils and opencl-nvidia (optional) packages, did the system upgrade and pulled in the 6.4 kernel and drivers rebuilt seamlessly.
Let's hope @rdahlgren is here for the 6.5 upgrade :)

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-headersshould 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
linuxis not an installed kernel?jonathon commented on 2020-10-19 12:41 (UTC) (edited on 2021-05-11 14:18 (UTC) by jonathon)
PACKAGE NEEDS LONG TERM MAINTAINER
I have adopted the 390xx packages to keep them secure. I do not run any 390xx hardware so will not notice any breakages and cannot test any changes.
Until such time as someone else steps up to maintain these packages - ideally someone who actually has 390xx hardware - I have to rely on you to tell me what changes are needed.
Don't expect a response if you post only "this doesn't work", and do not email me to complain about the package not working!
Use this forum thread for discussion: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1946926
A binary package is also available in my kernel-lts unofficial user repository.
