[Bug 1737750] Re: nvidia-graphics-drivers fail to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘init_timer’]
Hello, yesterday I tried to compile the nvidia-304 on my bionic "business" laptop, which does not work with nvidia-340 and suffers from some flaws with nouveau. I kept to your instructions as good as I could, but compiling failed.

[Bug 1737750] Re: nvidia-graphics-drivers fail to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘init_timer’]
Dear Seth, thanks for your incredible work. Driver 304 installs perfectly, and everything points its effectively nvidia driver the one is working. But there is still some problems, not related with the driver itself, but with -I dare to guess-, probably simlinks and where Ubuntu is looking for some things. For example, if you open VLC and try to play a video, it tells you is impossible to reach h264 decoder. If you switch back to nouveau, it works (but system is incredibly unstable). Then just reinstall nvidia driver and stop working. I've observed same behaviour using python kivy (in Geany & VsCode), sometimes is impossible to find a Window where show kivy widgets, sometimes not, not very sure about when it works and when not. Probably, your work is done and pretty well done, I'd love to help you with this little details, but unfortunately, I have no deep knowledge about all this. I've researched, believe me, but no luck. Please, if someone haves the knowledge and abilities to finish the work and help Seth, go on!. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1737750 Title: nvidia-graphics-drivers fail to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘init_timer’] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1737750/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

... but do not upgrade to Ubuntu 18.10, as its XServer comes with a new ABI version that nvidia-304 refuses to work with, and ignoring ABI incompatibility screws up the display (at least with my Geforce Go 7600). I guess this won't be possible to patch without NVidia themselves releasing a new version of the driver (which they won't). So, alas, with the above patch, 18.04 finally seems to be the last version you will be able to run nvidia-304 with. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1737750 Title: nvidia-graphics-drivers fail to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘init_timer’] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1737750/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm done with this. Took out the nVidia card today, only to run into the same old performance problems (i.e. no smooth video playback) with the i915 driver (which were the initial reasons to switch to nVidia). Even without the card, I'm still running into this bug. Guess I have to manually remove the nVidia drivers as well. What a mess.
