Updated to Kernel 3.13.4, and the latest NVIDIA driver 331.49 and (patched) VMware 10.0.1 compile and load/run OK.. Details of changes are here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.13.4 I had still been having problems with the uvcvideo driver (with a Logitech C525 webcam), since updating from kernel 3.12 to kernel 3.13 – and the problems is also in 3.14-rc3.. I … Continue reading →
Just updated to NVIDIA driver version 331.49, and it installs and runs OK on Kernel 3.13 (3.13.3) without the need for any patches. It can be made to work for Kernel 3.14, by editing the previous 3.13/3.14 combo patch mentioned in a previous article, and removing everything except the nv-linux.h portion of the patch.

NVIDIA have just released driver 334.16, but – despite the fact that Kernel 3.13 has been released for some time now – the driver still fails to load correctly, with the same ”Unknown symbol acpi_os_wait_events_complete (err 0)” error.. So, the existing known/good kernel 3.13 patch still applies, except that the section of the patch relating to /uvm/nvidia_uvm_linux.h … Continue reading →
There is an article on DevZone that includes a possible Kernel 3.14 patch, from s_molgaard, for driver 331.38: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/683534/linux/331-38-on-3-14-rc1-kernel/ The patch format is – apparently – for kernel boot-time patching using dkms, which I don’t use.. So.. I just manually applied the changes shown for nv-linux.h to the Kernel 3.13 patch mentioned in my previous article https://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1032, … Continue reading →
There have been several ‘Kernel 3.13’ patches on various sites for the latest NVIDIA drivers, and I have finally found one that – on my system – actually works, without causing uvcvideo / usb problems (see previous articles..) Thanks to the folks at ArchLinux, the patch can be found here: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/nvidia_3.13_kernel.patch?h=packages/nvidia Be aware that there are other … Continue reading →
Just updated the test system to Kernel 3.14-rc1, and did the usual tests with the latest VMware (10.0.1) and NVIDIA (331.38). VMware compile failed with the VMware version of vmci, but this can be fixed by selecting the kernel.org versions of these modules, from the standard 3.14-rc1 source tree. The vmci module can be found under ‘Misc … Continue reading →
Installed kernel 3.13.1 on my main system, and found a better version of the NVIDIA patch for driver 331.38 here: http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/rpms/nvidia-kmod/devel/nvidia_3.13_kernel.patch?revision=1.3&root=nonfree&view=markup Video playback – especially on kaffeine – is better, but I am still getting problems with uvcvideo and usb audio etc: …….

NVIDIA have just released a new version of their ‘legacy’ 304-series driver – 304.119, but it still needs the usual patch for kernel 3.13.. modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘nvidia’: Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) make[1]: *** [package-install] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 2 Hopefully NVIDIA will release really up-to-date drivers soon, … Continue reading →
Installed 3.13 Final on my test system, and then on my main system, and encountered an odd problem with VMware (10.0.1).. On my test system, VMware had been compiling and installing/running OK on all the 3.13-rc versions, and 3.13 Final, but on my main system, vmnet failed to compile: … /tmp/modconfig-I1rVjt/vmnet-only/filter.c:206:1: error: conflicting types for ‘VNetFilterHookFn’ VNetFilterHookFn(unsigned … Continue reading →
NVIDIA have released driver 319.82, and now 331.38, and they install OK on kernel 3.12, but – unfortunately – still need the patch for kernel 3.13, despite the fact that 3.13 Final is due in about a week from now.. modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘nvidia’: Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) make[1]: *** [package-install] … Continue reading →
