Arch Linux User Repository

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.

@SinClaus: nope! for now no one amongst ourselves has the right to update this repository. That's why we are waiting for the new maintainer to be selected.

This situation will be with all updates?

With last patch from/for @ukase all is OK, my base comp is working now!!! Thanx to all!!!

@SoftExpert thanks worked everything fine like magic

@SinClaus: dont copy the repo from nvidia copy from this aur and create a kernel-6.4.patch file and add the contents that was mentioned

I'm cloned repo from nvidida with all files but without patch 6.4. When I use patch from here, pkgbuild ask me what it have to patch. I don't know, maybe wrong path in patch, or another bug...

@ukase: You need the patch from this comment

was running everything fine until i installed some packages and update the sys ive tried to install again with yay but it aint even compiling here the make.log that generates in /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/nvidia-version/build https://gist.github.com/sjakk/d0d7bbc789a0580e488d559c56f73273 anyone some suggestion?

@SinClaus:

1. you can clone this repository or you can start from scratch

2. the PKGBUILD file references the following files, in the same folder, and there are no symlinks involved; you have to use the PKGBUILD from the previous comment

3. nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

• NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.199.02.run <= will be downloaded by the package

• kernel-6.4.patch <= you already got its contents from a previous comment

• you can execute makepkg -g to obtain the output for the checksums collection; then you can replace in the PKGBUILD file the corresponding sums

• now you can run makepkg

Good luck !

edited: fixed typo, made clearer which PKGBUILD to use

I have a GeForce GT 730 and used the kernel-6.4.patch provided. I changed the patch number and its sha512sum in the "sources" of the PKGBUILD and the .SRCINFO

The way I do it is disable my display manager service so I can reboot without X starting and then do the makepkg to install the driver with the patch and it worked.

The same kernel-6.4.patch is here: https://gist.github.com/joanbm/77f0650d45747b9a4dc8e330ade2bf5c

I have cloned Nvidia folder, try to use patch from ubuntu but 1. SHA512 don't work. 2.I chaged sum but pkgbuild ask me what file file I want to patch.
