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.

@erickwill: you can just clone this Git repository (or create an empty directory somewhere on your home directory) and then replace the PKGBUILD file contents with what I have listed. You should also create a kernel-6.4.patch file with the content I listed. Then you run makepkg and, if you had all the requirements in place, you can run makepkg -sicC to install and also clean the build directories.

I was able to compile and run it with all kernels in the lines 6.1.x - 6.4.x

Here is my local version of the package:

@cysp74 hey bro, can you gimme some instructions to reinstall this driver applying this patch you mentioned? Thanks

@SoftExpert: Actually this patch made for current aur package version and implemented the patch you referred. Making patch for 470.199.02 is much easier, try to adopt this aur pack to make changes.

@cysp74: What is the content of nvidia-470xx-fix-linux-6.4.patch, please ? Also, why not targeting 470.199.02 ?

Here is the for PKGBUILD, does anyone own this package or need to be adopted?

470.199.02 is available; there is a patch for kernel 6.4 (intended for 470.182.03 but can be adapted for 470.199.02) here

The package currently builds. Feel free to raise an issue here or adopt the package if you run into issues.

Well, looks like the maintainer gave up?
