Thanks for mentioning DKMS :slight_smile: :+1:t2: [AMD, but using digimend driver/dkms, so may hold back this update, or downgrade while using LTS].

I’m going to test now with NVIDIA dkms . I’m no CUDA though …
I heard that the bluebooth patch made it into 5.8.16 or 5.9.1 … but arch skipped 5.8.16 and went straight to 5.9 ?

maybe gossip

I just updated everything except linux kernel and linux headers. I do have nvidia GTX 1060 and i could easily revert with timeshift and snapshots but going to wait.

@ricklinux be happy that you at least have an Nvidia card whose drivers are in the repos, and will get fixed as soon as Nvidia decides to release a patch. I’m in a worse position, because I depend on the packages from the AUR to get my Nvidia drivers for this computer, and these packages are now orphaned, since the maintainer has had enough with the Nvidia :cow::poop:. So I guess this computer is stuck on linux-lts for the foreseeable future.

Can you not just download from NVIDIA site (I’m sure you have checked though :slight_smile: )

I guess if it is a laptop and you can’t change the card then you’re stuck. :roll_eyes:

Arch skipped 5.8.16 and went straight to 5.9.1 (which includes the patch you mention).

Yes… So it seems like a kernel regression for those who depend upon that facet of NVIDIA

71

I think the issue is unnecessarry and is related to this.

Jeez…what a :clown_face:show.
I mean, if they’d release open-source it would be fine, but i guess we all know that they’ll spend this month on trying to cheat & lie their way out :rofl:

So far I have not experienced any freezing.

I’m trying to install LTS kernel, but all the mirrors I have tried are unavailable, getting 404…
Is there a mirror with the LTS kernel available for downloading?
I tried all Brazil, USA and Worldwide mirrors…

The latest linux-lts is 5.4.72-1, so pacman has not updated it’s client package list.
Try
LANG=C sudo pacman -Syy
to reconcile your packages lists between Arch server and your internal package list.
Then try
LANG=C sudo pacman -S linux-tls linux-lts-headers

Hope That Helps.
