@simplecard: can you provide the relevant part of the build log where the error is being recorded ? Error 10 is quite vague ...

I'm on kernel 6.4.1-arch2-1 and have a GTX 650, this package fails to build. Error 10. Is there a way around this? My integrated GPU is very weak and I'm starting to experience lag without this package..

@wviana: Well, we are in the process of selecting new maintainers / contributors; it will take a short while until that is cleared up (the standard procedure). Since this driver serves old(ish) hardware, the interest for maintaining it is winding down slowly. Only you know if you can afford to wait or not. The package is basically, a recipe to correctly install the driver. If you need / must / want to use kernel 6.4 / experiment, the solution described in the comments will help you install the newest driver. Otherwise you can wait for the package to be officially updated.

edit: added missing word.

@SoftExpert Oh, ok, thanks. At some time the maintainer will add this patch to the package won't they? So is it ok just wait until then?

@wviana: That's because it needs a patch to compile with 6.4.x line of kernels. Working solution was already given a few comments back (probably next page).

Here it's working for LTS but not for latest kernel.

==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/470.182.03 -k 6.1.37-1-lts
==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/470.182.03 -k 6.4.1-arch2-1
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.4.1-arch2-1 (x86_64)

==> WARNING: `dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/470.182.03 -k 6.4.1-arch2-1' exited 10
==> depmod 6.1.37-1-lts

I'm booting just into LTS as a workaround for now.

Very thanks. It works well. I thought my video card was broken before updating.

@a821: Sorry for the confusion, I guess we were all excited for the opportunity to maintain this important package. My guess is that it would be good to add more maintainers / contributors to the package, to avoid no support time intervals.

So, I have to git clone https://gist.github.com/joanbm/77f0650d45747b9a4dc8e330ade2bf5c to any at /home directory, then - makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD - that's it?

In the future, to not remain stuck with the error FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!, you can simply run sha256sum *.patch or sha256sum *.deb to calculate the checksum of the corresponding file(s). In the current case, the issue was that copying the contents of kernel-6.4.patch file from the webpage probably added a space somewhere and, obviously, the checksum was not the same.

When the winner for the maintainer contest is chosen ;-) , the patches will simply be available in the repository, so the issue will not occur.
