Thank you for your prompt response. I have kernel 4.10 running here. Will installing this patch still work? Regards. Sudhir Anand On Sat, 2017-05-13 at 21:53 +0200, Timo Diedering wrote:

If the driver still won't compile, compile with the --no-unified- memory argument.

All,

I cannot compile Nvidia driver using Kernel 4.10 with Tumbleweed. Any ideas how to successfully install the driver?

I do not understand this message.

I have been struggling to get the driver to install. Just in the last couple of minutes I have succeeded.

The steps were: Download nvidia 340.102 from nvidia's site

Apply patch from https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/nonfree/nvidia-340xx-k mod.git/tree/4.10.0_kernel.patch

The patch from https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/nonfree/nvidia-340xx-kmo d.git/tree/4.9.0_kernel.patch has to be applied but does not work. I am not an expert but the line numbers do not match with source file.

I had to manually amend file kernel/nv-drm.c from line 117.

Lines 117-124 should be as follows:

static struct drm_driver nv_drm_driver = { .driver_features = DRIVER_GEM | DRIVER_PRIME | DRIVER_LEGACY, .load = nv_drm_load, .unload = nv_drm_unload, .fops = &nv_drm_fops, #if defined(NV_DRM_PCI_SET_BUSID_PRESENT) .set_busid = drm_pci_set_busid, #endif

After applying 4.10.0 patch and amending file nv-drm.c, the driver compiled and installed correctly.

I hope this helps others having a similar problem. The rpmfusion site above has a patch for kernel 4.11. Presumably have to apply all three patches.

Just as a followup, there appear to be two versions of Nvidia installers. The 378 installer is for GeForce 400 chipset onwards. I am running 300 series chipset and require 340 installer. The website for patches appears specifically for 340 installer.

did you

especially look for ERR or ERROR(s)

340.102 is probably not for 4.11, have you tried a newer package? 381.09 works w/o a patch, ie: is build for 4.11 kernel. As mentioned earlier, I cannot use 381.09 as it does not support Nvidia's 300 series of chip sets. 381.09 is for 400 onward.

By the way, the extract above is from nvidia-installer log. The last line is shown when the installer fails :). Sudhir -- Sudhir Anand

Where did you get the patch from?  Are you running 4.11 kernel?

I found it on the Nvidia Linux community site No I'm still on 4.10.

Can you give me the web address?
