Sure, they are right there in the error messages: the modules you’re trying to build via dkms (namely nvidia/525.60.11 and vmware-workstation/17.0.0_20800274) aren’t ready yet for 6.1.

Back in the day I did replace linux515-nvidia with nvidia-dkms. Should I replace it back or better wait for dkms and workstation to be compatible?

The package does exist: linux61-nvidia

There are no issues with nvidia-dkms and linux61 that I’m aware of. It works for me.

That’s part of an AUR package. I’ve edited the topic title and moved the topic to the proper category.

So it’s up to the AUR maintainer to update the package.

…when upstream adds support for Linux 6.1 and releases a new version, sure. :wink:
