[11:29] <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] <mamarley> s/staging/proposed
[11:54] <ricotz> mamarley, hey, that is great, 367 is still important too
[11:57] <mamarley> OK.
[12:09] <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.
[12:14] <ricotz> mamarley, if you have 375 working then 367 might be easier
[12:14] <mamarley> Yeah, I expect it will.
[12:15] <mamarley> But I am about to run out of time.
[12:16] <ricotz> I don't think I will have time for it, I wanted to look at thunderbird 51 later
[12:17] <mamarley> OK.  I will do it after I get home from work.
[16:10] <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.
[16:11] <mamarley> It looks like it might be trying to initialize the driver multiple times, but I can't tell exactly what was going on.
[16:12] <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)
[16:13] <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!
