There is a new version: 550.163.01 I can't test it this weekend, maybe they fixed this latest bug. It is not on the changelog though.

With the update of linux to 6.14.2 in main, this issue is hitting more people.

Putting 

sed -i '/\.date/d' nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-drv.c

just after cd kernel in PKGBUILD fixed the issue for me.

Just for future reference, running the 550 series fixes two important bugs for me:

The package failed to build for me as well on kernel 6.14.2.

Thanks @eduardoeae for the fix. Sadly it didn't work for me and threw a sed error all the time. (extra characters at the end of command). Gave up on it.

I fixed it quick and dirty like this:

After "cd kernel"

grep -v "20160202" nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-drv.c > nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-drv.c2
rm nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-drv.c
mv nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-drv.c2 nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-drv.c

This is required in prepare() to build with linux>=6.14:

sed -i '/\.date/d' nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-drv.c

EDIT: The package nvidia-525xx-dkms has a better patch for compatibility with older kernels

Hi everyone,

I managed build and install 550xx version of the drivers using the PKGBUILD files from nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils repos: - https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/nvidia-utils/-/tree/550.90.07-4?ref_type=tags - https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/lib32-nvidia-utils/-/tree/550.90.07-1?ref_type=tags

What I did is cloned the repos, checked out to the wanted tag/version and ran makepkg -si to build and install the packages.

I'm inexperienced and quite ignorant on the topic so please be mindful of that and proceed on your own risk if you want to install the drivers this way.

@Kimiblock hello hope you doing well, I know you're not interested in lib32 but its required for install steam, the beta and NFB both have strong glitches/bugs/ and lockup the system before completing 24h, just for this couple critical months moving to Wayland and new 56x or 57x hit the production branch, if you can't I completely understand and hope someone with the knowledge can package them, wish you the best of luck.

Hi @Mario156090, I personally don't use these packages and plans to drop this. The 560 drivers fixed memory corruption which is the reason why I submitted the 550 series.

Hello, what about this packages?
