manjaro - open source drivers - error: a failure occurred in build()

[ryanmusante]

Unable to build open source drivers for 515.49.19 & 515.76

Error messages cause build to fail at end. What am I doing wrong?

Check if /usr/src/linux exists. As a side note, I cannot reproduce the issue.

[ryanmusante]

I made the directory, but now get hit with "No rule to make target modules

linux-tkg-headers appears to make the directory /usr/src/linux60-tkg-{scheduler} rather than placing the headers in /usr/src/linux. I had the same issue, but moving the directory contents to the correct location fixed it.

linux-tkg-headers appears to make the directory /usr/src/linux60-tkg-{scheduler} rather than placing the headers in /usr/src/linux.

This is supposed to happen, otherwise linux-tkg-headers would have file conflicts with linux-headers.

/usr/src/>kernel< is just a symlink to /usr/lib/modules/>kernel version</build anyways.

Right, that makes more sense. I was wondering why rebooting preventing the graphical session from starting :)

[Valmar33]

I had the same issue, but moving the directory contents to the correct location fixed it.

This is just a hacky cludge. It's not the "correct" location so much as the open source Nvidia module seemingly being hardcoded to expect /usr/src/linux to be the location to find its desired headers.

[Tk-Glitch]

The symlink is always correctly created when installing either stock linux packages or linux-tkg on my end, on Arch and EndeavourOS. Are you guys hitting the issue using a different distro?

[ryanmusante]

I'm using Manjaro Linux
