Arch Linux User Repository

@dbermond, I understand, thanks.

Just to clarify, I know that arch does not have a linux-headers-meta, and I have no idea why Manjaro decided to call it meta instead of simply using linux-headers as in Arch. These two packages are probably exactly the same pointer to the default kernel headers, but with different names.

In any case, your aur package is working perfectly with Manjaro with this simply edit on the PKGBUILD. The nvidia-open drivers are still on Manjaro's unstable. It will probably take time for it to reach stable. Until there I'll be running the script below to get updates from your package.

@gerson sorry, but Manjaro is not supported. As far as I could gather, there is not even a package named (or providing) such a 'linux-headers-meta' neither in the Arch Linux official repositories or in the AUR.

Manjaro uses linux-headers-meta instead of linux-headers, would it be possible to add it as an alternative? Currently I'm editing the PKGBUILD to fix this and it works fine, but I would appreciate if you could leave it there by default.

In case someone is interested, here's my update script:

#!/bin/bash

cd nvidia-open-beta
git reset --hard HEAD
git clean -dfx
git fetch
git pull
sed -i 's/linux-headers/linux-headers-meta/g' PKGBUILD
makepkg -s -r -c -f
cd ..

cd nvidia-utils-beta
git reset --hard HEAD
git clean -dfx
git fetch
git pull
sed -i 's/linux-headers/linux-headers-meta/g' PKGBUILD
makepkg -s -r -c -f
cd ..

find . -name "*dkms*" -type f -delete

sudo pacman -U nvidia-open-beta/*.zst nvidia-utils-beta/*.zst

The nvidia 565 drivers need a patch for kernel 6.12+ to work properly with fbdev=1 https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all/ commit/8f5f63beea677afa1cc93db2e5e23cbe0f207670

When can we expect an update for this package? There is a CVE in the 560 driver that is fixed in the 565 driver (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/nvidia-utils/-/commit/865583be29ef66045a6332a4ec582346cd75360a). This package is now also behind of the extra repository

@Fazzi it's needed only as a build time dependency (makedepend), and is not required at runtime.

does this package require linux-headers? Or just any header package installed. I run zen kernel and this package always installs linux-headers when it isn't needed on my system

@Exioncore downgraded to 555.58 to fix the issue. Thanks for reporting.

Something is wrong with this package currently. When booting I get an error that it cannot find the GSP firmware image in nvidia/555.58/gsp_ga10x.bin. Upon inspecting /lib/firmware/nvidia I see that the GSP image is in fact present under the folder 555.58.02.

If I go ahead and rename /lib/firmware/nvidia/555.58 into /lib/firmware/nvidia/555.58.02 it then can find the image HOWEVER, it then fails to load it with the following error: [ 3.033324] [drm] [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Loading driver [ 3.200971] NVRM: _kgspFwContainerVerifyVersion: GSP firmware image version mismatch: got version 555.58, expected version 555.58.02 [ 3.200973] NVRM: nvCheckOkFailedNoLog: Check failed: Invalid data passed [NV_ERR_INVALID_DATA] (0x00000025) returned from _kgspFwContainerVerifyVersion(pGpu, pKernelGsp, pGspFw->pBuf, pGspFw->size, "GSP firmware image") @ kernel_gsp.c:3768 [ 3.200975] NVRM: kgspInitRm_IMPL: Error preparing GSP-RM image [ 3.200976] NVRM: RmInitAdapter: Cannot initialize GSP firmware RM [ 3.201205] NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: RmInitAdapter failed!

EDIT: Problem fixed by changing the pkgver to 555.58 (released 1 hour ago at time of writing) instead of 555.58.02 in PKBGBUILD and 110-nvidia-open-change-dkms-conf.patch

I see, thanks
