[Bug 795837] New: Nvidia drivers don't compile with 3.7 kernel from Tumbleweed repo.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795837 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795837#c0 Summary: Nvidia drivers don't compile with 3.7 kernel from Tumbleweed repo. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: pilotgi@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1271.97 Safari/537.11 Tonight I installed kernel-desktop-3.7.1-16.1 from the Tumbleweed repo. I then attempted to build the nvidia driver 310.19, which failed. Here are some of the errors reported by the nvidia installer: "Make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel." "You may need to specify the location of kernel-source or kernel headers with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option." I have these kernel packages installed: kernel-default-devel-3.7.1-16.1.x86_64 kernel-source-3.7.1-16.1.noarch kernel-desktop-devel-3.7.1-16.1.x86_64 kernel-firmware-20120719git-2.9.1.noarch kernel-syms-3.7.1-16.1.x86_64 kernel-devel-3.7.1-16.1.noarch kernel-desktop-3.7.1-16.1.x86_64 kernel-xen-devel-3.7.1-16.1.x86_64 There appears to be a problem with the 3.7 kernel and nvidia, as the 3.6 kernels worked fine.

The upstream 3.7 kernel moved version.h from include/linux to include/generated/uapi/linux 2. the nvidia 310.19 driver still misses at least one change to support that move. 3. If you are running kernel-desktop, you should have installed kernel-desktop-devel instead of kernel-default-devel As workaround, until the nvidia driver is fixed, you can make a link (lib/modules/3.7.1-16.1-desktop/build/)include/linux -> include/generated/uapi/linux -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I rebooted and tried to build the nvidia module but got the same errors I mentioned before. I have attached some screenshots of /lib/modules and properties of the link. kernel-desktop-devel and kernel-default-devel are both installed. kernel-default-devel is required by the kernel-syms package according to zypper. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
