Description Didier Le Gloanic 2017-01-28 14:50:47 CET
Description of problem:

That update to nvidia-current-375.26-1 result in a lack of graphical interface on my computer.
The booting list of services note nvidia OK but then hang when it should go graphic.
When downgrading to previous version, at the end urpmi notify that version 375.26
was inactive for that kernel (4.4.39).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dkms-nvidia-current-375.26-1.mga5.nonfree, x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-375.26-1.mga5.nonfree

How reproducible:
boot lead to failure

Tried twice with same result.
I'm running mga 5 server 32 bit and have a gts450.

Please reproduce the problem and switch to a VT with e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F3, log in, become root and run

    journalctl -ab > journal.txt


and attach journal.txt to this bug report.

Comment 3 Didier Le Gloanic 2017-01-31 05:51:41 CET
Ok, I've posted the journal. 
I want to tell than a friend suffer from the same bug. He run 32bit server as well but his hardware is different.
Only common things are intel cpu and nvidia gpu, both being different models than mines.
Comment 4 Didier Le Gloanic 2017-01-31 06:01:56 CET
I've forgot to say that there it's possible that the bug is from Nvidia itself, since someone, who reported the same bug on the support forum of mageia, tried to use the nvidia installer whithout success.
Here is the link : https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11586

And sorry for the broken english, i tend to reformulate things and forget some words behind before posting... an edit function would be nice.

Also valid in cauldron with latest dkms-nvidia-current (375.39-5.mga6.nonfree). The driver builds and loads OK on a 64-bit system, but not on a 32-bit system. The important line from attachment 8911 [details] is:

janv. 31 05:27:02 localhost kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol phys_to_dma (err 0)

which prevents the kernel module being loaded. This same error is seen in the dkms build log.

Crap, the phys_to_dma detection was supposed to be fixed in new nvidia-current drivers, but now it seems only 304 and 340 series were fixed :/

It means I have to build a new kernel set to restore that phys_to_dma export to get this working again...

Looking on this I see:

 CONFTEST: phys_to_dma

but it apparently fails
Comment 13 Thomas Backlund 2017-04-03 20:36:32 CEST
Actually I see nvidia is trying to use a kernel internal symbol :/
Comment 14 Thomas Backlund 2017-04-03 21:11:45 CEST

Ah, I see it's https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17604 that strikes again :/

I wond dupe it as it an advisory bug, but I'll fix the driver the same way as before

And as http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2017-0025.html pushed the broken driver to mga5, I will update that one too..
Comment 15 Thomas Backlund 2017-04-03 22:43:23 CEST

Ok, I've pushed a fixed nvidia-current-375.39-6.mga6 to cauldron, 

and a nvidia-current-375.39-1.mga5 to mga5 nonfree updates_testing

Please try them out...
Comment 16 Martin Whitaker 2017-04-05 00:52:54 CEST
The mga6 version builds and loads correctly. I don't have the necessary H/W to check it actually works...

CC'ing QA team and all packagers collectively, because I can't test it either.

I haven't checked this in a while but thanks for your work !

The 375.39-1 package from mga5 nonfree updates_testing load and work !

I haven't much tested for regressions but it seem fine.

Thanks for the feedback.
