Nvidia Driver

[080x]

After applying the pax patch for the driver I get alot of errors and it will not complile. Any help fixing this is appreicated. https://gist.github.com/080x/9b6ca0986b2810b1bba0d4141de56e82

Can you use https://gist.github.com/ ? I can't view your pastebin without enabling some extra javascript and receiving a full body pat down by the goons at CloudFlare.

Can you try building against a newer kernel release (and build depds of course)? There was a mismatch between the kernel's gcc build version and the available libc in previous releases.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt-dist-upgrade --auto-remove --purge

My bad, typo no dash in there sudo apt dist-upgrade --auto-remove --purge

Everything must not be up to date, because the current kernel is 4.7.9-grsec and you seem to be building against 4.5.7-grsec.

[080x]

I have the new kernel in my boot dir but it must not be using it. config-4.5.7-grsec-amd64 initrd.img-4.5.7-grsec-amd64 System.map-4.5.7-grsec-amd64 vmlinuz-4.7.0-1-amd64 config-4.7.0-1-amd64 initrd.img-4.7.0-1-amd64 System.map-4.7.0-1-amd64 vmlinuz-4.7.9-grsec-amd64 config-4.7.9-grsec-amd64 initrd.img-4.7.9-grsec-amd64 System.map-4.7.9-grsec-amd64 grub lost+found vmlinuz-4.5.7-grsec-amd64 user@subgraph:/boot$ I have just removed the 4.5 kernel and updated grub.

After rebooting and using the 4.7.9 kernel I get the same error. https://gist.github.com/080x/f1ba9046774e79cb58084f737b93c837 Nvidia error log.

I believe you may need to disable PIC.

[080x]

How do I do that.

[xSmurf]

You'll have to pass (or remove) the right config/make parameter.

You may very well need to apply the PAX patch for the drivers ( https://www.grsecurity.net/~paxguy1 ).

Any particular reasons you must have the proprietary drivers? Your card really isn't supported by Nouveau?

[080x]

which make parameter do I need to remove and in what file.

[080x]

So I did some more research and discovered that my gpu(Titan x maxwell) is supported by nouveau but I get this error in dmesg. [ 979.842272] MXM: GUID detected in BIOS [ 979.842458] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: NVIDIA GM200 (120020a1) [ 979.951101] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bios: version 84.00.1f.00.01 [ 979.952498] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: disp: dcb 10 type 8 unknown [ 979.953347] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for nvidia/gm200/gr/sw_nonctx.bin failed with error -2 [ 979.953349] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: failed to load gr/sw_nonctx [ 979.953352] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr ctor failed, -2 [ 979.953356] nouveau: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -2 Is there any way to fix this if i cant compile the proprietary drivers? Thanks in advance.

Looks like you need to obtain the firmware for your card. From what I can tell it should be included in firmware-misc-nonfree, make sure it is up to date with sudo apt update && sudo apt install firmware-misc-nonfree.

[080x]

Its already install. user@subgraph:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install firmware-misc-nonfree [sudo] password for user: Hit:1 tor+https://devrepo.subgraph.com/subgraph aaron InRelease
