Hi, thanks for pointing out this. 5.9.0 Kernel has just landed in Cauldron this October 14th, 2020. When a new kernel series landed, we need to rebuild all Kernel modules for it. Also, providing /var/lib/dkms/nvidia390/390.138-9.mga8.nonfree/build/make.log will be useful. Can you do it? Assigning to Kernel and Drivers maintainers. Cc'ed Guiseppe. CC:

ghibomgx The problem was mentioned on the usenet news group alt.os.linux, with a link to https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/opencl-not-working-with-kernel-5-9/156941 The patch in the Description can not be applied to a package that Mageia distributes. Changing the license in the source code would be a violation of that license, making Mageia legally responsible. From https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nvidia-license/ 2.1.2 Linux/FreeBSD Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux or FreeBSD operating systems, or other operating systems derived from the source code to these operating systems, may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files). Altering the source and recompiling the drivers is not allowed based on the above license term. While 5.9 has been made available on cauldron, the update to kernel 5.9 on Mageia 7 will be held until this has been resolved in a way that works, without violating the package license. CC:

(In reply to Dave Hodgins from comment #1) Uploaded the log file. (In reply to Dave Hodgins from comment #2) Thanks for the info and heads-up. Once we have working fixed nvidia 390/430/current packages with kernel 5.9 in Cauldron, please build fixed packages for Mageia 7 as well. Thank you. Everything works fine with the latest patched kernel and nvidia390 driver. I will like to have this bug closed as fixed and I'm unsure if I should close it or someone else, as I do have some other opened bugs related to nvidia390 that should be closed too. Please advise. However, thank you all for great work and especially Giuseppe. Actually it seems nvidia340 suffers of the same problems under kernel 5.9 (I've not seen patches around for it, do you?) As for mga7 kernel 5.9 upgrade, maybe we can wait a few release it stabilizes, alternatively if it should be done sooner, I suggest to use 5.8 series, starting from cauldron kernel 5.8.14 and merge in the latest upstream 5.8.15 which is still supported. (In reply to Giuseppe Ghibò from comment #7) > Actually it seems nvidia340 suffers of the same problems under kernel 5.9 > (I've not seen patches around for it, do you?) > Found this link from a video (https://www.cda.pl/video/592607077/vfilm in polish looks like) that list a bunch of patches for nvidia drivers. Link: https://nvidia.if-not-true-then-false.com/ Hope it will help. Regards. No for kernel 5.9 there. At this time, it is fixed up to kernel 5.10, Mageia 7 too. Closing this bug... Status:
