@leopseft: same as for me, but also without any problems. Some days before there was a dkms update, today a new kernel (5.7.4) was in core. Since today this strange error-message vanished and everything is okay. I think, it has nothing to do with nvidia driver or its patches, maybe it has been a dkms issue... Nvidia driver works really well and stable.

Hello folks, I receive the following strange error:

"Unable to install module nvidia/340.108 for kernel 5.4.3-arch1-1: Missing kernel headers"

While I'm using the latest kernel (5.7.2). It has happened again with another kernel versions. I 've tried clean build but I get the same error. The driver works normally though.

Any ideas?

Thanks for quick respond!

I've changed the lines: makedepends=("nvidia-340xx-utils=${pkgver}" 'linux-ck-atom>=5.5' 'linux-ck-atom-headers>=5.5')

and

_kernelname=linux-ck-atom

and it updated without errors.

@Nebulosa Just change the _kernelname=linux line to: _kernelname=linux-ck-atom That should do the trick.

Edit: I really should think before I write... Remove 'linux>=5.5' 'linux-headers>=5.5' in makedepends as well, or change to linux-ck-atom.

I use linux-ck-atom package, not the linux package. Unfortunately it want the linux package for installing or update.

How can I change PKBUILD?

Ok. Thanks! Will give it a try.

@Tech1 First, note that if you're going to use this package and not the nvidia-340xx-lts package, then you'll need to use the resulting -dkms package, and will also need to have the linux-lts-headers system package installed. For the error, upgrade your GCC package. The kernel's been built by a different GCC version. Run pacman -Syyu, then try and build the package again.

Appreciate your hard work in producing these packages. I have extremely slow performance with my older NVIDIA card - GeForce 8200M G. Have great hopes that this might really speed things up!

Unfortunately I got an error during the makepkg for nvidia-340xx 340.108-7

This is the error message:

I am using the most current linux-lts kernel (just released yesterday 5/28).

uname -a

Linux hplaptop 5.4.43-1-lts #1 SMP Wed, 27 May 2020 23:42:34 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I successfully installed these:

nvidia-340xx-utils (a dependency to building nvidia-340xx)

linux-headers Version 5.6.15.arch1-1 (Required dependency for the makepkg of nvidia- 340xx)

I noticed there were AUR builds for nvidia-340xx-lts and nvidia-340xx-lts-dkms and others with 'lts' included in the package name. Would any of these be useful here? In the comments I noticed references to broken builds and waiting on patches for nvidia-340xx-lts 340.108-2.

Another thought was the linux-headers. Wondering if version 5.6.15 might be too new.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

@osvxos Problem solved! The directory that contains 'nvidia-340xx' has blank space, this explains why the directory looks funny. Solved by renaming directories such that they don't contain blank space. Thank you!
