[opensuse-factory] Nvidia driver 384.98 + latest kernel 4.14.9-1 in TW
Driver 384.98 does not compile under kernel 4.14.9-1. The nvidia-installer log shows this error (for those who understand what it means): -> Error.

Now, I have only applied 3 or 4 patches in my life so I know bugger all about patches and how to apply them. The cli command above is what I found after searching around using a search engine. Obviously the wrong command :-(, but I know not any better.
Could someone please "tell" me how to correctly apply the patch mentioned in Christophe's post?
(Yesterday the latest version of the kernel -- 4.1.10-1.1 -- was installed but this did not have the "fix" necessary to handle the Nvidia driver 384.98.)

This was the first patch version I ran before posting my "I give up!" message. Got the same error msg as I mentioned earlier. @ Dave: doing what you suggested didn't work. Perhaps I misread your comment about the "---" and the "---"? I don't suppose you would be so kind as to alter that patch to what it should read in full? Anyway, will try doing it all again tomorrow before I totally "lose it" tonight :-). @ you and Markus: thank you for your help. Greatly appreciated. And a Happy New Year to you both.

I'll try attaching it first, then you can just apply it. If you use Markus's method then you use "patch -p 1 Testing.txt" or "patch -p 0 Testing_Basil_nVidia.patch" in the same directory. The -p option strips x directory levels from the original patch. From the working directory use "find . -name uvm8_va_block.c" to find what should actually be in the "---" and "+++" headers in the patch. Using the "linux-8qdh:/data/Nvidia-384.98 # sh ./NVIDIA*.run --apply-patch Testing.txt" method you are dependent on the -p level that nvidia use in their build script. Haven't used nvidia run files for a while but AFAIR you can use --help and it tells you an advanced help option and maybe there's a way of specifying the -p option that you can play around with.

As the patch just adds three three lines to uvm8_va_block.c you can also "apply" the patch by editing that file manually. Just add the three lines behind the plus signs ( without the plus signs ) to uvm8_va_block.c after the block with the other #includes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Got the same error msg as I mentioned earlier.
As the patch just adds three three lines to uvm8_va_block.c you can also "apply" the patch by editing that file manually. Just add the three lines behind the plus signs ( without the plus signs ) to uvm8_va_block.c after the block with the other #includes.
Good advice -- did that and the Nvidia 384.98 then compiled :-). Thank you. @ Dave: sorry, Dave, but that rewrite of the patch still does not 'work', but your help is greatly appreciated.

You could have created the patch by using "diff -u unedited-uvm8_va_block.c uvm8_va_block.c > nvidiapatch.patch", just trying to explain what a patch is. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The next problem is already lurking around the corner, I guess. I just found http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2180, titled "Kernel – 4.14.11 ‘Final’ Breaks NVIDIA – GPL Error.." I love proprietary drivers... Werner --

Yes, I just discovered this :-(. Even trying to compile the driver with the additional command '--no-unified-memory' now fails :-(. Thankfully the 'clean old kernels' feature left the previous kernel (4.14.10.3) in place and I was therefore able to boot up with the '--no-unified-memory' option in place.

Thank you, Dave, I'll put this into my 'little black book' and apply it (as part of my learning curve re patches; my latest quest is to get the wording right to get 'makeself.sh' to compress the files into a *.run file after a patch is applied).
