Bug 5536

I wont be patching 390xx or 340xx for kernel-5.5, even nvidia main has issues with it.

You should file the issue at nvidia so they can fix it.

Got it, thanks for the info.

Time to retire the packages? I finally got rid of my GTS 450. The oldest card in the house is now a GT 750 which looks to be supported by the 440 series.

Maybe post to the mailing list to request a new maintainer.

Thanks for the help, I have 750GTX and I used the 390xx driver because I thought that my outdated card was not supported by the current driver. Reinstalled the driver on 440.59 and everything works well with the 5.5.5 kernel.

I have GeForce GT 730 and I confirm that nvidia-390 refuses to work with kernel 5.5. 

No, installing nvidia-440 won't help, the 440 driver tells it will ignore my GPU.

I have to load kernel 5.4.18, where nvidia-390 works and apparently freeze the kernel not allowing it to update to 5.5 and higher.

Hi all;
Doesn't work with kernel 5.5.6-201.fc31.x86_64 too:
# LANG=C /usr/sbin/akmods --force
Checking kmods exist for 5.5.6-201.fc31.x86_64             [  OK  ]
Building and installing nvidia-390xx-kmod                  [FAILED]
Building rpms failed; see /var/cache/akmods/nvidia-390xx/390.132-1-for-5.5.6-201.fc31.x86_64.failed.log for details

Hint: Some kmods were ignored or failed to build or install.
You can try to rebuild and install them by by calling
'/usr/sbin/akmods --force' as root.

I have set 390xx packages to orphaned status for all fedora branches.

nvidia-390xx-kmod.spec wiht kernel-5.5 and 5.6 patches

There exists patches for 5.5 and 5.6.

Discussion:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1071186/linux/patch-for-legacy-driver-390-132-with-linux-5-5-x/
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1071243/patches-for-340-108-and-5-6-rc-need-help-with-driver-init-/

Patches:
https://gitlab.com/snippets/1943814  kernel-5.5.patch
https://gitlab.com/snippets/1943873  kernel-5.6.patch

The first includes changes to a .manifest file which seems to be from somewhere else (Archlinux?). Works if that patch chunk is ignored.

I have attached the patches and an updates spec file.

My laptop with K2100M also needs the 390 driver and not plannning to get rid of that one for quite some time to come.

I am happy to step up as a maintainer for this package if someone tells me how. Not active in rpmfusion today, but I am a Fedora package maintainer.

To test the patched srpm before building at koji, run

rpmbuild --rebuild --define'kernels $(uname -r)' nvidia-390xx-kmod-390.132-2.fc32.src.rpm

The srpm is tested, and works, But it does have the same refcount issue others have reported.

A build is available at http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=392980

The build succeeded on x86_64, but failed on armv7hl due to missing package

DEBUG util.py:583:  BUILDSTDERR: No matching package to install: 'xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-390xx-kmodsrc >= 3:390.132'

There is a build of that package for arm on 2019-11-10, but the latest build from 2020-02-05 do not include armv7hl for some reason.

From 31 onwards you need to build for multilibs target

f33/rawhide

rfpkg build --target f33-nonfree-multilibs

f32

rfpkg build --target f32-nonfree-multilibs

f31

rfpkg build --target f31nonfree-multilibs

f30

rfpkg build


and the same for xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-390xx

Sorry this only applies for xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-390x.
I have attached a patch for the kmod spec

rfpkg builds xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-390xx as a multilib target automatically

Fix pushed to stable
