NVIDIA driver 570.153.02 is out, and brief details etc are here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/245669/ Not mentioned in the summary, this version compiles/loads/runs successfully on Fedora 42 with GCC 15, and also with the latest Kernel 6.15 – tested with 6.15-rc7 and an RTX3050 Robert Gadsdon.

Now that Fedora 42 is out, including GCC 15 (currently GCC 15.1.1-1) there is a simple workaround for compilation, thanks to Rudi Heitbaum. The change is documented at https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/pull/841/commits/448b236d893170edc8fc4dff029044948516352b, and must be seen as a workaround, not a fix, as it effectively removes some of the warnings/errors flagged by the latest GCC version.. For NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.144/kernel/Kbuild, add the … Continue reading →
Thanks to efforts by Willy Frissen and Joan Bruguera Micó, I have managed to cobble together a patch for NVIDIA driver 575.51.02 and Kernel 6.15 – tested with 6.15-rc2.. The compilation failed with Kernel 6.15 due principally to changes removing obsolete EXTRA_CFLAGS and replacing it by ccflags-y, and del_timer_sync replacement by timer_delete_sync: …………………… nvidia/nv.c:31:10: fatal error: nv-firmware.h: … Continue reading →
Recently updated the test system to Fedora 42, and everything seemed OK (including the latest VMware Workstation) – except the NVIDIA driver install.. The latest driver 570.124.04 compiles and installs OK with GCC14 and Fedora 41, on 6.13.x and also 6.14-rc kernels, but the NVIDIA source install scripts/tests etc. seem to be completely useless when compiling under … Continue reading →
NVIDIA driver 570.124.04 is out, and details are here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/241089/ This now works OK with Kernel 6.14 (tested with 6.14-rc5) and also seems (so far…) to have fixed the annoying ‘install fail, but compile OK’ problem which appeared – seemingly at random – with recent drivers..

Systems are Intel Dual-Xeon with Fedora 41 and GCC 14.2.1.. Kernel compiled from kernel.org source.. Starting with driver 550.144.03, and now with the latest driver 570.86.16 I have been experiencing odd and inconsistent problems with the usual install process.. Running ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.86.16.run fails with “ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module ‘nvidia-drm.ko’.” and later “-> Kernel module load … Continue reading →
NVIDIA have released driver 550.142, and brief details are here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/237853/ The ‘Release Highlights’ section is especially frugal on specifics.. The ‘softlink / file not found’ error when compiling with Kernel 6.13 has finally been fixed (tested with 6.13-rc2): …………………… ld -r -o nvidia-modeset/nv-modeset-interface.o nvidia-modeset/nvidia-modeset-linux.o nvidia-modeset/nv-kthread-q.o MODPOST Module.symvers CC [M] nvidia.mod.o CC [M] .module-common.o LD [M] nvidia.ko … Continue reading →

NVIDIAs latest beta driver 555.52.04 is OK on a 2023 HP Envy 17 laptop, but on my main system (HP 840 – kernel 6.9.3 – GTX 1070 Ti) it kills the HDMI signal.
