I've prepared update for NVidia drivers for Optimus users (bumblebee) [1]. The problem is, i586 last driver branch was 390.xx (390.87 atm), but for x86_64 there is 410.66 already. So I've tried to update package for x86_64 only.
Sorry, cknowledging my ignorance, I don't really know what the implications of this are. Does that mean that there will be no nvidia-bumblebee-32bit-410.66-1.1.x86_64? Or is it only no *x86 packages? If the former, how to run old 32bit applications?
i586 and x86_64/32bit are separate packages. i586 are for 32-bit systems: means 32-bit kernel module, 32-bit X module and 32-bit client libraries. Last versions are 390.xx for this. x86_64/32bit are for 32-bit apps on 64-bit system, so it contains just 32-bit client libraries (located in installer's directory "32"). Kernel module and X module are still 64-bit and installed from x86_64 package. So in i586 repository we have only 390 version while in x86_64 we have 410 for both x86_64 and x86_64/32bit packages. вівторок, 23 жовтня 2018 р. 14:39:43 EEST Stefan Dirsch написано:
There are no plans to drop support for 32bit applications by NVIDIA. I explicitely asked them about. But, yes they dropped support for pure 32bit systems. So no longer 32bit kernel module, nvidia X driver and glx extension.
Thanks. -- Kind regards, Mykola Krachkovsky -- Найкращі побажання, Микола Крачковський
