Nvidia-340xx-dkms install error, broken after update

lanarc · 21 June 2024 19:45

Hi a recent update broke my system, causing the nvidia-340xx-dkms driver to stop working and I can’t seem to install it anymore (following the instructions here that worked before).
From tty I installed nouveau but I get random freezes (although the mouse pointer still moves around) from which I can only recover with a hard reboot OR I just get logged out of my session, can’t tell if it’s the same issue.
These freezes are also new as I had used nouveau for quite some time before without too many issues besides the lack of performance.

The make.log

And here is the core-dump of the faullty nouveau driver, this is from when I got logged off as from the freezes I can’t seem to mind much logged info. But I suppose it deserves its own thread.

I really hope someone can help, these freezes are happening from every couple hours to every 5 minutes.

Hi @lanarc

It happens because of the compiler: gcc v14. There is already a patch on the AUR one: 0017-gcc-14.patch - aur.git - AUR Package Repositories Add this to the PKGBUILD and it works again.

Thank you, that patch worked for the 5.10 kernel!
I should have thought of looking for solution upstream.

For the 4.19 still same error it looks like, maybe some specific patching?
