Rava, you are need kernel 5.4.x and 340.108 2019.12.23 Linux 64-bit

Took them how long to archive this?
Just kidding, this is free software, one should be patient with updates.

I did not remember that part and the Nvidia installer exited with
Code: Select all
Received signal SIGBUS; aborting.
root@porteus:/5/Porteus_modules/5.0# echo $?
135
root@porteus:/5/Porteus_modules/5.0#
Still, the Nvidia installer was able to compile some files, but not able to create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf .
I still tried using the resulting module, but X won't start when using it with /etc/X11/xorg.conf from my 010-nvidia-340.107-kernel-4.20.5-porteus-v5.0-x86_64_rava.xzm module. (Maybe the issue can be resolved, so far I have not compared the compiled files list from NV340.108 and kernel 5.1.5-porteus with the functioning one using NV340.107 and kernel 4.20.5-porteus to see if the NV installer crashed prior compiling all files, or only prior creating the xorg.conf file)
Once again, nvidia.sh itself failed since it incorporated some symlinks that are unrelated to the nvidia driver; I did hack nvidia.sh to have these changes:
Code: Select all
# diff nvidiaV2019-07-18_orginal_fulalas+blaze.sh nvidiaV2019-07-18_orginal_fulalas+blaze+ravaHACK.sh

< rm -f /tmp/nvidia.tar.gz
< rm -f /tmp/nvidia.xzm
< rm -rf $INSTALL_TEMP_FOLDER
---
> echo ravaHACK:
> echo NO rm -f /tmp/nvidia.tar.gz
> echo NO rm -f /tmp/nvidia.xzm
> echo NO rm -rf $INSTALL_TEMP_FOLDER
to at least get the changes saved.
I did run nvidia.sh in a ext3 FS, not from /tmp, but still nvidia.sh put all in /tmp and then the creation of the module itself failed cause there was not enough space in /tmp left.
Quite embarrassing, considering that this
is from a
post originally done by me, but altered / enhanced since then by either also you or you and fulalas.
I now try updating the kernel with the newest 5.4.x from neko's kernel thread and try NV340.108 once again.

The issue seems to be…
I would like to use this kernel:
but… the tar lacks 05-devel_k5.4.18.xzm
I presume, trying to compile a NV driver using the kernel5.4.18.tar kernel, the 06-crippled_sources-5.4.18-64bit.xzm and 000-kernel.xzm from the kernel5.4.18.tar - but then using "XXX05-devel_k5.1.5_2019-05-26.xzm" would fail due to a mismatch between kernel and the devel-tools.
Or am I mistaken and it would compile okay?

Managed to get a newer kernel running, with these NVidia compile modules.
I all gave them a prefix of XXX so that I can use load=XXX for loading the needed modules. I also noload=000-kernel to not load the standard 5.0rc1 kernel 000-kernel.xzm module.
The kernel used was 5.4.18_x86_64 from neko's tar file he uploaded the other day.

Unfortunately, the NVidia compile by NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108-no-compat32.run ended in a fatal error:
These are the last lines of the /var/log/messages/vidia-installer.log

I hacked the nvidia.sh script. The diff is not much:

> echo ravaHACK:
> echo NO rm -f /tmp/nvidia.tar.gz
> echo NO rm -f /tmp/nvidia.xzm
> echo NO rm -rf $INSTALL_TEMP_FOLDER
The creation of the module would fail anyway since by them my /tmp folder would have not enough free space left. But so I could at least save nvidia.tar.gz . If the compiled NVidia drivers are of any use, that I still have to figure out.
Any ideas what might cause the above mentioned SIGBUS error?
The only result when asking DDG for
Code: Select all
"Received signal SIGBUS; aborting." NVIDIA 340.108
is this:

Finally!
(click for full view)
While kernel 5.4.18 was not able to get my notebook soundcard working, and the NVidia driver was for just that machine, running the 5.4.19 kernel the 340.108 NVidia driver compiled okay as well, sound also works with that kernel.
If anyone is in need of the driver, please reply here and I upload it.
Cave! You need neko's 5.4.19 kernel and 001-kernel.xzm. I used the xz compressed version. (zstd or xz compressed should make no difference for the driver. But be aware that
for now all modules I present are xz compressed ones.)

You might wonder why there are two slightly different in size driver versions.
The one I have in use and that works as it should is the 010-nvidia-340.108-k.5.4.19-porteus-v5.0-x86_64_rava.xzm
In this I removed NVidia's compiled "libOpenCL" library, cause it got compiled without version number, and all programs depending on it complain about that, e.g. mpv or ffmpeg. And I got sick of that error messages.
The "010-nvidia-340.108-k.5.4.19-porteus-v5.0-x86_64_rava_NVIDIA-libOpenCL.xzm" contains the NVidia's compiled "libOpenCL" library, but as it seems, the original Porteus libOpenCL lib works just fine with the NVidia driver.
So, if anyone is in need of the driver, just post here saying so and I would upload he 010-nvidia-340.108-k.5.4.19-porteus-v5.0-x86_64_rava.xzm version.

No sound. Mint Trica with linux-firmware 1.173.9 and Linux kernel 5.0.has pic & sound. Need 304 driver. Downloaded 304.1370. Looks like will take week to make. Porteus got special upload URL?

Never mind.
Firefox kept on crashing, so gave more temp space with cliexec=mount~--bind~/dev/sdxy/tmp~/tmp. Now ff crashes less et voila have sound!
