@aur4mw It's basically just noise, likely from NVIDIA's binary blob portion. Nothing much you can or need to do about it.
@Sithuk None of that looks to be a driver source issue. It seems like you might have some more fundamental issue with your headers or something.
Upgraded to Linux desktop 7.1.3-arch2-2.
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 760] (rev a1)
lightdm does work again.
However still getting in journalvtl -k report:
Is this okay ?
Anyone else getting errors?

Builds successfully on linux-7.1.2-arch2-1. Seems to behave perfectly on a GT 740 GDDR3.
journalctl -k shows:

Jun 30 23:47:21 desktop kernel: Unpatched return thunk in use. This should not happen!
Issues: e.g. lightdm does NOT start. lxdm is working !???
Does anybody know why this happens ? How can one resolve this ?
After upgrading from nvidia-470xx-utils 470.256.02-8.01 to nvidia-470xx-utils 470.256.02-8.02 the system could successfully build and install the driver.
I get the same error as it is shown in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2297007

@aur4mw: I'm not sure I understand what issue you are having; maybe you can provide some logs ?
For kernel 7.0.9 I get the error described in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2297007

For the beginners in need of assistance, first take a look at this recommended guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide - maybe it helps to solve the issues your are having with this version of the driver.
