404 error with latest Nvidia drivers #170

Open oessaid opened 3 months ago

oessaid commented 3 months ago

Installation of nixGLNvidia fails with latest drivers on Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS):

$ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix profile install github:guibou/nixGL#nixGLNvidia --impure

It looks for a driver file that's not available in https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/.

What is the best mitigation for this? I've seen this issue pop up on the repo from time to time (i.e. there were other issues like this one in the past, e.g. this one)

Yup, happening to me too. The download URL https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/550.40.59/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.40.59.run seems broken.

The version being downloaded for me is a Vulkan beta driver and requires a different URL altogether. This one (https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/vulkan-beta-5504061-linux) is an example for the 550.40.61 Vulkan beta driver
