Proposal update
The package has been updated to 6.11.7 (clr 6.11.6-1477), and with that landlock support has been enabled the package source moved to https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/linux-clear.

Information comment
This comment provides useful information about this package. Make sure to read it through, you won't regret it.

Repository URL
This package is hosted at sos!git. If you want to contribute to the package, you can do it here: https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/aur-linux-clear

Updates
I usually publish updates 0-3 days after a kernel release, depending on how busy I am.
If I however get wind of security-relevant updates or any vulnerabilities I will try to update the kernel as soon as possible and write a comment about the vulnerability/update. So make sure to subscribe to this package's comment mailing list.

The PKGBUILD file supports customization via environment variables. Here's a list of all of them:
_makemenuconfig: Invokes make menuconfig (ncurses-based default configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makenconfig: Invokes make nconfig (ncurses-based nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makexconfig: Invokes make xconfig (X11-based GUI configuration menu) before compilation starts
_use_current: Will use the configuration of the running kernel, if the running kernel is compiled with IKCONFIG_PROC
_copyfinalconfig: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root as kconfig-new before compilation starts
_localmodcfg: Only compiles modules found in modprobed-db's database (which decreases compilation time and kernel size)
_use_llvm_lto: Compiles the kernel with LLVM instead of GCC. Should work, if not write a comment
_subarch: Specifies the sub architecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 40 (Generic-x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number
_debug: Force enables debug options when set to y, force disables debug options when set to n or uses the config defaults when unset

All of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for _subarch and _debug. See their descriptions for more information.

GPG errors
If makepkg complains about invalid PGP keys, try running this command first: gpg --locate-keys torvalds@kernel.org gregkh@kernel.org sashal@kernel.org benh@debian.org. This command only needs to be executed once.

Issue handling
Please only submit issues in the package's repository if they aren't bug reports about the package or help requests. Please keep them to the AUR only. Tihs prevents unnecessary signups.

Build tool
If you want a dead simple way to compile this package, you can try out my build tool. It includes a few no nonsense changes to the kernel configuration and allows you to configure the PKGBUILD file in a simple manner and decrease build time. And if you don't want that, using makepkg as-is works fine too.

After upgrading to linux-clear 5.2.5-1, proprietary nvidia driver becomes to work. Have you applied a new fix?

TillySutton commented on 2019-07-31 08:32 (UTC)

Thanks for this https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/1048 It helped me a lot

zheiling commented on 2019-07-30 13:53 (UTC)

@metak Updated kernel today. No changes are seen. I even can't find Nvidia messages in dmesg, Xorg.0.log also silent about Nvidia. Very strange behavior...

metak commented on 2019-07-29 22:17 (UTC) (edited on 2019-07-29 22:21 (UTC) by metak)

@zheiling On second thought, your issue could be related to this? Latest native kernel issues with custom drivers #1048 Can you try the latest version?

zheiling commented on 2019-07-29 15:04 (UTC)

@danhyal other kernels work normally with switching. In CLI version found this message: Config parsing : unknown option kill_logind in section optimus. Ignoring. Config parsing : unknown option kill_x11 in section optimus. Ignoring. Config parsing : unknown option login_manager_control in section optimus. Ignoring. Config parsing : unknown option pci_reset in section optimus. Ignoring. Config parsing : unknown option terminate_sessions in section optimus. Ignoring. Config parsing : unknown option dri in section nvidia. Ignoring. BTW: how to format text in aurweb? Can't find instructions.

@zheiling Do you still have the problem on the default arch kernel?

zheiling commented on 2019-07-28 21:04 (UTC)

@metak Fully removed nouveau and compiled kernel without nouveau support. The message is disappeared, but the problem with switching still exist. I suppose that an issue can be in patches/flags applied by linux-clear team.

metak commented on 2019-07-27 18:17 (UTC)

@zheiling Can you try unloading nouveau rmmod nouveau and load nvidia modprobe nvidia module?

@berturion Don't expect any massive performance boost just from this kernel. Most of the clear linux optimizations are in userland. However, your desktop should be more responsive as it has CONFIG_HZ_1000=y & CONFIG_HZ=1000.

@everyone Version 5.2.2 should be out in a day or two.
