What is the process for reporting out of date packages? Last time I opened a thread here, and it helped, but I still don’t know what the correct procedure is, and I can’t find information about it on the wiki.
The problem is that libxnvctrl-580xx and nvidia-580xx-settings don’t get updated when the other 580xx packages get updated. Resulting in errors about missing libraries from docker containers requiring GPU acceleration, because it looks for the wrong version.
Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: failed to fulfil mount request: open /usr/lib/libEGL_nvidia.so.580.142: no such file or directory
I’ve force-switched to the AUR packages to avoid this issue:
paru -Sa nvidia-580xx-dkms nvidia-580xx-utils opencl-nvidia-580xx lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia-580xx libxnvctrl-580xx nvidia-580xx-settings
Unfortunately there are still two problems:
- They’re now also using an older version number (but at least consistently so)
- They get replaced in a full system update with versions that don’t match each other.
I appreciate the work that’s being done to keep Pascal cards doing useful work, and if there’s a way I can be more useful than just complaining here, let me know.
