Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.

The DKMS package guidelines are explicit that linux-headers should not be a dependency of any DKMS package.

As a concrete example of why including that as a hard dependency is a bad idea, what happens when linux is not an installed kernel?

PACKAGE NEEDS LONG TERM MAINTAINER

I have adopted the 390xx packages to keep them secure. I do not run any 390xx hardware so will not notice any breakages and cannot test any changes.

Until such time as someone else steps up to maintain these packages - ideally someone who actually has 390xx hardware - I have to rely on you to tell me what changes are needed.

Don't expect a response if you post only "this doesn't work", and do not email me to complain about the package not working!

Use this forum thread for discussion: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1946926

A binary package is also available in my kernel-lts unofficial user repository.

Yes, thanks @rdahlgren, for the patch!

Edit: Also thanks for @duht.

Yes, double Thank You @rdahlgren. Patch worked perfectly. Incremented pkgrel in PKGBUILD, added the kernel-6.4.patch and b2sum to the list of sources and b2sums, added the patch to prepare below the kernel-6.3.patch, e.g.

    # From Ike Devolder
    patch -Np1 -i ../../kernel-6.3.patch

    # From rdahlgren at AUR nvidia-390xx-utils page
    patch -Np1 -i ../../kernel-6.4.patch

Built and then upgraded the -dkms, -utils and opencl-nvidia (optional) packages, did the system upgrade and pulled in the 6.4 kernel and drivers rebuilt seamlessly.

Let's hope @rdahlgren is here for the 6.5 upgrade :)

I followed @duht's clue but had some trouble installing the patch as-is. To get it working, I updated the patch to be simply

      nv_drm_driver.dumb_create      = nv_drm_dumb_create;
      nv_drm_driver.dumb_map_offset  = nv_drm_dumb_map_offset;
+ #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(6, 4, 0)
      nv_drm_driver.dumb_destroy     = nv_drm_dumb_destroy;
+ #endif

  #if defined(NV_DRM_DRIVER_HAS_GEM_PRIME_CALLBACKS)
      nv_drm_driver.gem_vm_ops       = &nv_drm_gem_vma_ops;

Then I added this file (named kernel-6.4.patch) to the list of files in teh PKGBUILD and used b2sum to generate the necessary b2sum value. From there it built and dkms was able to install without issue.

6.4 require a patch. It's for NVIDIA 470.182.03 so it requires minor modyfications, but it's very simple. I tested it with linux-xanmod 6.4 and works fine.

Linux 6.4 is in core-testing. Anybody try the build with the kernel yet? The box I have using this driver is a server -- so it's a bit hard to swap kernels for testing, but if I get a light-load late at night, I'll give it a go.

Any feedback from anyone else welcomed.

My problem:

"==> ERROR: Missing 5.15.19-1-lts kernel headers for module nvidia/390.157." and

"lsmod | grep nvidia" no load driver resolve two things.

1. First I was resolve problem with dmks, instruction here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2099823#p2099823 And still no effect, modules nvidia no loaded
2. Second I was reinstall package "reinstalled nvidia-390xx-utils (390.157-4)"
3. Reboot machine.

I'm complete no understand why but "reinstalled nvidia-390xx-utils" resolve my problem.

I have NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [NVS 310] card. Past update "pacman -Syu", xorg server not working.

"==> ERROR: Missing 5.15.19-1-lts kernel headers for module nvidia/390.157."

Question:

1. This package really needed 5.15.19-1-lts kernel headers? What headers do you use that works for you?

2. Has anyone used this with an LTS kernel and it works for them?

3. Do you have xorg-server version 21.1.8-1 or oldest?

thanks for the update :D

@amb And I was just about to write :))
