| mamarley | ricotz: 396 beta is apparently out. I will handle it. | 17:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mamarley | It looks like this driver drops 32-bit support. | 17:09 |
| soee_ | ;-) | 17:24 |
| tjaalton | that was on the news | 17:26 |
| soee_ | mamarley: ping me when it lands in ppa | 17:28 |
| mamarley | Sadly, this new packaging scheme is going to make the packages for the 32-bit libraries *much* more tricky, since the 32-bit libraries actually come out of the 32-bit build. That means we will need a 32-bit build of the driver even though it doesn't actually support 32-bit kernels, presumably with a different package set for each architecture. | 17:36 |
| mamarley | Implementing this very likely exceeds my capabilities. | 17:37 |
| ricotz | mamarley, sounds like fun :( | 20:56 |
| mamarley | ricotz: I gave up trying to get support for 32-bit libraries on Bionic. I was able to get it to work for all previous releases though. | 20:57 |
| mamarley | I have packages up in https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages, but for Bionic there is no support for 32-bit applications on 64-bit kernels. | 20:58 |
| ricotz | I see | 20:59 |
| JanC | eh, why would there be no support in the kernel for that? | 21:31 |
| JanC | (is that even possible?) | 21:31 |
| mamarley | JanC: It isn't the kernel, the problem is that in Bionic the 390 drivers use multiarch, which means that the 32-bit libraries for running 32-bit OpenGL applications on 64-bit Linux come from the 32-bit packages compiled for i386. With 396, NVIDIA dropped support for 32-bit kernels and stopped releasing the 32-bit installer, making the current method of building the 32-bit compatibility library packages not work. | 21:44 |
| mamarley | Some kind of trickery will need to be done to work around that, but I am not skilled enough to know what the best method would be. | 21:45 |
| JanC | oh, I guess was misunderstanding your previous message :) | 21:46 |
| ricotz | mamarley, I am already looking | 21:46 |
| ricotz | mamarley, it builds | 22:25 |
