New NVIDIA Driver – OK for 3.10, not for 3.11..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 5, 2013 by RGAugust 5, 2013

Just installed the latest NVIDIA driver – 325.15 – and it compiles cleanly with 3.10 kernels, but fails with 3.11-rc..: /home/rgadsdon/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15/kernel/os-interface.c: In function ‘os_get_system_memory_size’: /home/rgadsdon/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15/kernel/os-interface.c:244:21: error: ‘num_physpages’ undeclared (first use in this function) return (((NvU64)NV_NUM_PHYSPAGES * PAGE_SIZE) / RM_PAGE_SIZE); ^ /home/rgadsdon/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15/kernel/os-interface.c:244:21: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in /home/rgadsdon/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15/kernel/os-interface.c:245:1: warning: … Continue reading →

3.8-rc2 – NVIDIA and VMware…

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 3, 2013 by RGJanuary 3, 2013

Just compiled 3.8-rc2 on my test system, and the situation regarding NVIDIA and VMware is similar to -rc1.. For NVIDIA, the two ‘latest’ driver versions – 310.19 and 313.09 – fail to compile, but the earlier version – 310.14 – compiles OK..    Version 310.14 does not compile with kernel 3.7, so it would appear that the changes … Continue reading →

3.8-rc1 and NVIDIA… Earlier Driver Version Compiles OK!

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 29, 2012 by RGDecember 29, 2012

After more testing, I discovered that – unusually – the very latest driver (313.09) fails to compile with kernel 3.8-rc1, but an earlier driver – 310.14 – does compile OK! I won’t do too much more testing, as 3.8-rc1 breaks some KDE apps (see Linus’ angry rant on the LKML!).   Hopefully 3.8-rc2 will be out soon.. Robert Gadsdon.   … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 1, 2012 by RGNovember 1, 2012

Only recently updated to 3.6.4, and already 3.6.5 is released: $ uname -a Linux rglinux 3.6.5 #1 SMP Thu Nov 1 15:37:56 GMT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Runs fine, with VMware Workstation 9.0 (with the 3.5 patch) and the latest NVIDIA driver – 310.14..

3.4 Released..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 21, 2012 by RGMay 21, 2012

Kernel 3.4.0 just released…   Not on kernel.org yet, so downloaded from github (https://github.com/torvalds/linux). The latest version of the NVIDIA linux drivers (295.53) already supports kernel 3.4x, and the latest ‘weltall‘ patch for VMware (8.0.3) also supports this kernel version, so should be good to go.. Now – to see what’s new/improved/fixed/broken! Update:   compiled/installed, and everything seems to … Continue reading →
