For the beginners in need of assistance, first take a look at this recommended guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide - maybe it helps to solve the issues your are having with this version of the driver.

@SoftExpert

I have not yet tested it but @Maniaxx did seems to work. Can you update package with -2 added to it ?

I can confirm TechXero patch is working on stable kernel 6.8.9-arch1-2 and GCC 14.1.1. The patch shows 'offset -52 lines'.

Please only flag "out of date" the package when a new version of the driver is released. Tweaking the build process of the current version does not qualify as an "out of date".

@TechXero: have you tested the patch with various kernel / compiler configurations ? Does it work in all cases ?

Yep thanks for solution worked for me too.. I think an update is on the way.

For anyone having issues installing, downgrade GCC back to 13.2. GCC 14 breaks the dkms installation for this driver.

Downgrading gcc and gcc-libs to 13.2.1, then re-installing the current 6.8.9-arch1-2 of linux and linux-headers worked for me.

P.S. Thanks grzechoo and everyone for the solve. Not the way I wanted to spend my morning!

Downgrade gcc and gcc-libs to 13.2.1 and go back with your linux and linux-headers packages to 6.8.9-arch1-1. Latest gcc 14.1.1 causes NVIDIA dkms module installation to fail. Just figure that out after an hour of digging on internet and lately upgraded packages...

@pervokur may you provide more details on how to get that kernel version and how to set clang-17 with lto=none?

I'm guessing you installed that kernel manually ... so I supose if it works for 6.9.0 ... it should work for 6.8.x, should we flag this package as out of date?

pervokur commented on 2024-05-08 20:43 (UTC)

Module works on 6.9.0-rc6 + clang-17 lto=none

I can't install the moduel for 6.8.9-arch1-2, like @erickwill

but the module either is installed for 6.6.30-2-lts !

Why is that? I've even tried to downgrade to 6.8.9-arch1-1 where I had the module working previously but still doesn't install!
