mamarley | ricotz: 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 |

ricotz | mamarley, hey, that is great, 367 is still important too | 11:54 |
mamarley | OK. | 11:57 |
mamarley | ricotz: 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 |
ricotz | mamarley, if you have 375 working then 367 might be easier | 12:14 |
mamarley | Yeah, I expect it will. | 12:14 |
mamarley | But I am about to run out of time. | 12:15 |
ricotz | I don't think I will have time for it, I wanted to look at thunderbird 51 later | 12:16 |
mamarley | OK. I will do it after I get home from work. | 12:17 |
mamarley | tseliot: 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 |
mamarley | the procfs entry is already registered and that the probe failed because the driver is already registered. | 16:10 |
mamarley | It looks like it might be trying to initialize the driver multiple times, but I can't tell exactly what was going on. | 16:11 |
tseliot | mamarley: 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 |
mamarley | tseliot: OK. And if you want to look at or use the patches I have for 375, they are in ppa:mamarley/staging. | 16:13 |
mamarley | Thanks! | 16:13 |
tseliot | mamarley: great, thanks! | 16:13 |
