Hi. Debian 340.108 patches have different changes that have AUR 340.108 patches from here?

"One question, guys: can I have nvidia blob installed for both linux and linux-lts kernels?"
@TheExplorer Yes, You can. (zen is the same as lts, just need change the PKGBUILD file accordingly)
yay -Qs 340xx | grep 33
local/nvidia-340xx 340.108-33
local/nvidia-340xx-zen 340.108-33

It don't overlap each other:

                └── 20-nvidia.conf

10 directories, 4 files

(You can check both *tar.zst files and compare them also. [The final installation path, in this case, is /usr/lib/... and /usr/share/...]).
On the other hand, the PKGBUILD have an option for this cases: conflicts=('nvidia') that i guess should be conflicts=('nvidia' 'nvidia-340xx-lts') in case of incompatibility with the lts version.

@calvinh It's working ok here with the standard/old/classic module installation (no dkms). Should be the same with dkms, I think.

Anybody else is having problems compiling in kernel 6.3.1? I got the following errors.

$ cat /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/340.108/build/make.log DKMS make.log for nvidia-340.108 for kernel 6.3.1-zen2-1-zen (x86_64) Thu May 11 20:17:30 EDT 2023

gcc-version-check failed:

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with a different compiler than the one that was used to compile the running kernel. The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match that of the compiler used to build the running kernel. The compiler used to compile the kernel was gcc 12.2; the current compiler is gcc 13.1.

If you know what you are doing and want to override the gcc version check, you can do so by setting the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH environment variable to "1".

In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.

*** Failed CC version check. Bailing out! ***

One question, guys: can I have nvidia blob installed for both linux and linux-lts kernels?

Hi all, I getting this error to both kernels linux and linux-lts, nvidia-340xx-dkms and nvidia-340xx-lts-dkms packages.

==> ERROR: Missing 6.0.5-ach1-1 kernel header for module nvidia/340.108.

Does anyone has the same problem with me?

I cant start the desktop environment.

Nevermind my fault, the driver is working after reboot. I saw the error and I freak out.

Thank you so much for keeping this alive and well! Eager to give some old 64-bit quad core Via motherboards new life with the GT 9600 cards…

Also my 2010 MacBook Pro with 320M, 2008 MacBook Air with 9400M, and my nvidia ION system are all eager to give this a shot… and maybe even have OpenCL too!

I have updated without problems. Thanks! Also @freeartist, I have successfully run a few GUI applications that have QT5 dependencies: linssid, sqlitebrowser, keepassxc.

Can anybody check and report. Is working this nvidia driver with qt5-5.15.8? Just try launch any Qt GUI application i.e qbittorrent or 2048-qt Is its launch without Segmentation Fault or not. Thanks.

Can confirm the new patch, 0012-kernel-6.2.patch, works in kernel 6.2.1. Thanks, @JerryXiao.
