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.

I can confirm a successfull build with the patch proposed by @gbr for linux 6.14.4-arch1-2 and gcc 15.1.1. There is no need to downgrade.

BTW, kudos to @gbr!

There is a patch out for 570: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/nvidia-utils/-/blob/11deaedbd194cacd732c44a902699a56d2d59d4b/0002-CFLAGS-Set-std-gnu17-for-all-compilation-flags.patch.

Haven't tested it, but may be useful. It appears that GCC 15 uses C23 as default. You need to use the -std=gnu17 option.

Thanks @gbr

Confirms it works with my old GTX660 Ti

Build fails with gcc 15. I had to downgrade.

For anyone else experiencing the same issue, I ran:

cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
sudo pacman -U glibc-2.41+r47+g046b33800c3e-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst gcc-libs-14.2.1+r753+g1cd744a6828f-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst gcc-14.2.1+r753+g1cd744a6828f-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst gcc-fortran-14.2.1+r753+g1cd744a6828f-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

This fixed it for now. You need to regenerate the modules. Easiest thing to do is to just reinstall linux and linux-lts, if you have it. This will trigger all the appropriate hooks.

Thanks you @gbr your patch solves my builds problem.

Card: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 730] (rev a1)

Kernels:

• 6.12.25-2-lts => build OK
• 6.14.4-arch1-2 => build OK

I can confirm that @gbr's patch works for my old GeForce GTX 760 with 6.14 kernel. This is what I did:

cd ~/.cache/yay/nvidia-470xx-utils
nano 6.14-fix.patch
(paste @gbr patch contents and save with ^X)
git apply 6.14-fix.patch
makepkg -fi

This rebuilds and reinstall the package and runs mkinitcpio -P

Then reboot...

Thank you @gbr

Thank you @gbr. Applying your patch and building the package runs mkinitcpio -P succesfully

Adding -std=gnu17 to EXTRA_CFLAGS in Kbuild fixed building for me.

Here's a patch (save it as a file and apply it against this AUR repo with git apply <file>, then rebuild the package):

Hi,

Making an upgrade of my system, I just discover that builds with kernels 6.12.25-2-lts and 6.14.4-arch1-2 crash during dkms compilation with following message:

==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/470.256.02 -k 6.12.25-2-lts

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.12.25-2-lts (x86_64)

From make log file one can find those messages at the end of the file:
