akmod nvidia - users - Fedora mailing-lists

15 Nov 2019


      I have an older nvidia card and I'm using the proprietary drivers with akmod from 
rpmfusion.
akmod-nvidia-340xx-340.107-8.fc30.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-kmodsrc-340.107-4.fc30.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-libs-340.107-4.fc30.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-340.107-4.fc30.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-340xx-5.2.18-200.fc30.x86_64-340.107-8.fc30.x86_64
Every time the kernel gets updated, akmod does its thing, builds the kmod-nvidia rpm 
and all is well.
Except for 5.3 kernels, akmod fails to build. For instance, in
/var/cache/akmods/nvidia-340xx/340.107-8-for-5.3.11-200.fc30.x86_64.failed.log
I see

2019/11/15 21:07:34 akmodsbuild: 903 |         int __ret = on_each_cpu(func, info, wait);           |                     ^~~~~~~~~~~
So I guess in kernel 5.3 on_each_cpu() no longer returns int, but void. 
The nvidia driver has not been updated to reflect that.
Do I need to wait for nvidia to fix that (if they ever do, given that this is the
legacy driver) or does anyone on the fedora side do any kind of back porting that can
fix it? Do I file a bug with bugzilla?
