Package: nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver Version: 340.108-11 Severity: serious The latest nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver succeeds in building the dkms module with kernel 5.14.9,  but startx fails to locate any valid screens.  This same driver works correctly with kernel 5.10.70. It appears that drm

Just my 2d,  but I am with Jim P on the whole "nouveau is something I hate even more" thing.  This driver is operational in 5.5.x as we know,  but since that branch went EOL I have just reverted my machines to 5.4.x for the time being )OK for now since 5.4.x is long-term).  The native NVIDIA

Is this confined to systemd 241-4?  Will back-revving to 241-3 be a sufficient workaround?

As just a data point, when -march=i686, the kernel builds and seems to work well using 6.2.0-10 and with no patches to Makefile at all. On 10/29/2016 10:24 AM, Oswald Buddenhagen wrote: -no-pie is not a useful option here, because it's passed to the _linker_ only. i got it to build with

2016-10-21 Thread S. R. Wright
h may mean that the kernels are currently only built/supported with gcc-5. vanilla kernels (Linus' tree and the stable ones) could be compiled just fine with gcc 6.2.0-6 and that now fails. I still think this is a major regression and regard gcc 6.2.0-7 simply as broken. On Thu, 2016-10-20 at 11:22 -0500,

2016-10-20 Thread S. R. Wright
I agree. When the version changes from 6.2.0-6 to 6.2.0-7, only bug fixes should be included, not changes in functionality. In this case setting enable-default-pie essentially broke backwards compatibility. Kernel code that built in -6 failed to build in -7. That, I agree, should be

Concurring with Wolfgang; pulling the source straight from kernel.org and using identical .config files will work with 6.2.0-6 but fail with 6.2.0-7. I was able to build and install 4.8.3 with no issues after back-revving gcc et. al. to 6.2.0-6 -- sRw On 10/20/16 11:09, Wolfgang Walter

It's possible that Windows is not relevant here; it could be that whatever selection is last on the list that the OS prober constructs may have this issue, and in my case the last entry just happened to be Windows. Just FYI.
