@theriddick

That's very strange, it builds fine with no infinite loop on my test server using aurutils and on my desktop using yay.

Which aur helper are you using?

theriddick commented on 2018-09-01 06:09 (UTC)

Well it installed on my system but for some reason it kept infinite loop downloading and installing over and over, dunno why. Canceling it didn't appear to break anything and the packages are installed fine. (along with utils/32bit utils)

Just to let you know. Kernel update 4.18 leads to "installing linux (4.18.1.arch1-1) breaks dependency 'linux<4.18' required by nvidia-vulkan"

Based on this commit and this commit, you need to change the line _extramodules=extramodules-4.17-arch to _extramodules=extramodules-ARCH in the PKGBUILD

@SeriousBug

This is due to a change in the extramodules directory with the latest kernel package in the arch repos. Should be resolved now, let me know if you have any other issues.

<deleted-account> commented on 2018-08-05 08:37 (UTC)

The build is failing for me with the following error:

==> Starting build()...
cat: /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.17-ARCH/version: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

The file does indeed seem to be missing. Is there some package I'm missing, or is this due to a change in the kernel packages?

@twisty

The regular nvidia-vulkan is packaged for the standard linux kernel in the main repos, while nvidia-vulkan-dkms is packaged for use with dkms and can be used with any kernel(standard, linux-lts, linux-hardened, etc.)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support

Feature-wise there is no difference, so when in doubt use the non-dkms version.

twisty commented on 2018-07-22 03:13 (UTC)

What is the difference between the two packages (dkms vs not)?

jcstryker commented on 2018-07-17 20:16 (UTC)

@DAVVVVE I am glad you got this working on your system

jcstryker commented on 2018-07-17 20:16 (UTC)

To properly handle the choice between nvidia-vulkan and nvidia-vulkan-dkms, I recommend using an AUR helper with proper split package support.
