mamarleyricotz: Kernel 4.9 has been uploaded to Zesty staging, so I am working on some patches to make the NVIDIA drivers compile against it.  I already have 375.10 working and uploaded to my staging PPA and I hope to get 340 done before I leave for work, but I won't be able to do anything else until the afternoon.11:29

ricotzmamarley, hey, that is great, 367 is still important too11:54
mamarleyOK.11:57
mamarleyricotz: My attempt to patch 340.98 has failed.  I can get it to compile, but it crashes badly with a storm of kernel oopses when it is loaded.  I think someone with more kernel knowledge than me is going to have to do that one.12:09
ricotzmamarley, if you have 375 working then 367 might be easier12:14
mamarleyYeah, I expect it will.12:14
mamarleyBut I am about to run out of time.12:15
ricotzI don't think I will have time for it, I wanted to look at thunderbird 51 later12:16
mamarleyOK.  I will do it after I get home from work.12:17
mamarleytseliot: Hey, I noticed that kernel 4.9-rc5 had been uploaded to zesty-proposed, so I started trying to patch the NVIDIA drivers for it.  I did 375.10 successfully and I expect 370 and 367 will be similar, but I couldn't get 340 to work.  I applied https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manjaro/packages-extra/master/linux49-extramodules/nvidia-340xx/linux-4.9-rc2.patch to it which got it to build, but then it just crashes on startup complaining that 16:10
mamarleythe procfs entry is already registered and that the probe failed because the driver is already registered.16:10
mamarleyIt looks like it might be trying to initialize the driver multiple times, but I can't tell exactly what was going on.16:11
tseliotmamarley: thanks for letting me know. I'll have a look at it as soon as I'm done with another nvidia related bug in 14.04 (OEM work)16:12
mamarleytseliot: OK.  And if you want to look at or use the patches I have for 375, they are in ppa:mamarley/staging.16:13
mamarleyThanks!16:13
tseliotmamarley: great, thanks!16:13
