Installation of kernel 5.12.9 resulted in the following links in /lib/modules/5.12.9-1-default/:
build -> ../../../usr/src/linux-5.12.9-1-obj/x86_64/default source -> ../../../usr/src/linux-5.12.9-1
In each case, the target should be the absolute path /usr/src/.... not the relative path given.
This bug prevents the building of external modules such as the nvidia drivers.
The problem was also present for kernel 5.12.4, and probably in older kernels; however, I no longer have any of those on my system.
This is reported as boo#1186899.
I removed kernels 5.12.4-2 and 5.12.9-1 and nvidia G04 drivers, nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-390.143_k5.12.4_9-44.23.x86_64 x11-video-nvidiaG04-390.143-44.2.x86_64 nvidia-glG04-390.143-44.2.x86_64 nvidia-computeG04-390.143-44.2.x86_64 reinstalled kernel(s) 5.12.9, corrected noted simlinks, then installed nvidia G04 packages but still cannot get a full sized display. have to revert to kernel 5.12.4-1-default -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode
