Hi
I'm trying to upgrade my 5.18.10 system and the DKMS build is failing for my NVIDIA driver.
To debug it I have tried to compile the driver separately out of DKMS, but the issue that keeps coming up with the new kernel (6.2.6) is [1]
Sadly, though, my card cannot run a more recent version of the driver. When I compile e.g. the 5xx driver I get a message:
NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 GPU installed in this system is NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 470.xx Legacy drivers. Please NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
So it seems that I am stuck on having to use the 470x drivers, the latest one available from Nvidia is 470.161.03, which fails to compile on Kernel
=6
So what can I do? Stay on Kernel 5.18.10 or is it likely that NVidia or the community will provide a fix for the issue in [1]?
Many thanks
They have already provided a fix for the issue, the patch for 6.2 was applied to the AUR package almost a month ago. Please don't tell me you're trying to install directly from nvidia's website?
