@dough.mean: nvidia-470xx-utils builds 3 packages: - nvidia-470xx-utils - nvidia-470xx-dkms - opencl-nvidia-470xx

All of them need to be installed on your system, based on the same version of the driver. There might be additional packages, like lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils and lib32-opencl-nvidia-470xx. All of them must be based on the same Nvidia version. DKMS will nob behave with 6.4.x kernel, unless the patch was used (it declares a function that is otherwise missing).

@cysp74 I tried your method of simply removing the patch, but I'm getting this error when installing:

warning: cannot resolve "nvidia-470xx-utils=470.199.02", a dependency of "nvidia-470xx-dkms"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      nvidia-470xx-dkms

EDIT: I had to remove the nvidia-470xx-dkms package I had installed, reinstall the new modified package and now everything is working fine.

I think @cysp74 is right, if you're on kernel 6.4, you don't need any additional patches to have 470.199.02 working.

@circl @SoftExpert I was able to build and install the package successfully. Thank you so much for your help!

Or use makepkg -g @simplecard

Basically, take the sha512sum of the kernel-6.3.patch file and replace with it the last checksum in the PKGBUILD file

@SoftExpert I cloned this repo, replaced your PKGBUILD and created your patch file. After running makepkg it fails:

@simplecard: You are missing the fix provided by the patch for the kernel 6.4. Please review the comments from the past

@SoftExpert My apologies. It was actually error 2.

@giniu: the solution is described in the comments posted a few days ago. Just browse the comments. To summarize: - use the latest version of the driver 470.199.02 - apply the patch for kernel 6.4

I think this is same or similar to https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/error-compiling-with-recent-mainline-kernel-linux-6-4-rc1/252732 and there is patch at https://gist.github.com/joanbm/77f0650d45747b9a4dc8e330ade2bf5c

I've tested the patch and it works.
