Does anyone know if this requires a patch for the latest kernel 6.7? If so what's the right way to request that?

Hello, just wanted to say thanks for doing the work of Nvidia. Your time allows me to keep my recently bought GT710 fully working in Arch. Yes, Nvidia still sells hardware it no longer supports.

Is it just me or is the upstream super slow? It is taking an hour and a half to download.

@qunas: It's kinda vague ...

What is your current kernel version ?

Did you ran out of storage space when rebuilding the module ?

If you are you using DKMS, have you installed the corresponding kernel headers ?

Can you check if DKMS has successfully built the driver module for your current kernel ?

Where there any updates installed at the same time ?

You see where I'm headed - you need to have a thorough investigation in order to identify what went wrong.

Something about the latest upgrade breaks my DE. It stops at “Notify about reboot on special conditions” and doesn't launch the DE. Everything works fine if I system upgrade with ignoring these packages

@SoftExpert: Thanks for your comment. Actually that's what I am doing. The easiest thing was to check here if everyone is having problem, but it seems not. So, doesn't appear to be a drivers issue.

Will try downgrading the kernel and see if that works. If not, will continue with the other debugging options and try to find a way to get the cable / port checked.

Thanks.

@aqeeliz: It's fairly difficult to pinpoint the source of error. You should proceed by excluding possible causes:

  • electrical (is the cable in perfect working state, are the connectors loose)

  • software (which version of kernel has been installed, which version of the driver has been installed, which combination of kernel+driver exhibits the issue, does reverting to previous version stops the issue from appearing)

  • which configuration has changed

You get the idea, you have to be thorough and apply a consistent method to identify the origin of the problem.

Is anyone else having problem connecting external monitor after the latest update?

I am not sure if it's the drivers, or the kernel, or some issue with the cable / port. Unfortunately I can't test the cable / port right now, so just asking here if anyone noticed any issues.

I am using HP Zbook, which has a "DisplayPort" instead of HDMI, so have to use DisplayPort to HDMI cable for monitor. In case that's relevant.

@wonton: You should expect less compatibility and more issues going forward with this version of the drivers; they are only maintained by Nvidia for a limited amount of time for the older cards out there.

That being said, you could read the following pieces of information:

You can still install the CUDA package (v12.2.2 is the latest, if I'm not mistaken) - I just did it and it did not complain about my version of the drivers.

However, I must insist: since the differences with the actively maintained versions of the drivers are increasing, you should expect increasing instabilities / incompatibilities with the advanced features.
