After upgrading to 7.0.5-1-cachyos, nvidia-open-dkms 595.71.05 fails to build

1

After updating to 7.0.5-1 kernel, the nvidia-open-dkms 595.71.05 fails to build. Even downgrading to 7.0.3-1 alone does’t fix it. Only after downgrading llvm to 22.1.3-2, lld to 22.1.3-1.1, compiler-rt to 22.1.3-1.1 and llvm-libs to 22.1.3-2, does this fix it.

Similar issue, but with 580xx (GTX 1050 mobile, can’t use later drivers).

Rolling back to 7.0.3 fixed it, but so did removing the dkms driver altogether on the latest kernel (am using integrated graphics until I find a fix).

3

Same here too…Someone suggested we may have to go to LTS kernel more stable for older computers like mine also using 1050Ti

4

Same issue with 580xx (GTX 1060m).

5

I moved to LTS kernel what a mess I did not know how much of a mess my system was in until I went down this path, not an easy path to go down one failure and error message after another, no Blame on the devs but holy crap the compilation of my computer was a mess it was like I was looking at windows 10 pro all over again it brought back some nightmares for me…

6

There are a lot of threads with similar issues, like this one. Looks like the new kernel has been pushed a bit too quickly because of this Dirty Frag vulnerability.

7

This fixed itself with Syutoday, I’m guessing due to lld update. Just an fyi for anyone else still have gfx issues after bad kernel update

8

So it is fixed now and works with the 1050Ti ?

Not sure what that means for me had to revert back to this so I could get my computer to work again properly so it’s solved for everyone else but me again left with the above OK thanks great to hear it’s fixed.
