I do this, using An alternative approach to packaging NVIDIA's *.run drivers.

Same here with the legacy NVIDIA-470.161.03 drivers

Nice. Very useful.
I no longer need performance video so I use intel card in my laptop which is pure intel as I found out that intel has least compatibility issues with linux kernel.

I thought I posted yesterday but I was doing a lot of rebooting to test the -K flag for the NVidia Blob ...

Anyhow ...

Generic Kernel Version 6.1.6.kjh is running fine on my Slackware64 15.0 + Multilib LapTop.

I also tested Generic Kernel Version 5.15.88.kjh and the -K Flag.

It does seem to work but I couldn't figure out how to force the NVidia Blob to build 32-bit Libraries from the CommandLine

I'll stick with the tried-and-true, rerun the Blob whenever I switch to a new Kernel

-- kjh

Code:

uname -msrpn: Linux kjhlt7.kjh.home 6.1.6.kjh x86_64 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-11900K @ 3.50GHz
firmware ...: kernel-firmware-20230110_a1ad1d5-noarch-1                       # upgraded
NVidia Blob : NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.78.01.run
VMWare Blob : VMware-Workstation-Full-17.0.0-20800274.x86_64.bundle

They're already installed! When you install the blob the first time, it does the full install with module, 32-bit libs, and X configuration. If you just give it the -K switch, it'll leave everything else alone and just build the module for the new kernel.

Dang

Thanks garpu !!

I'll try it 'next time'.

remember that when upgrading nvidia drivers, make sure that you remove old version from both kernels.

6.2-rc4

Release Candidate 4, for the 6.2 "mainline" development kernel has been been made available for testing.

The tarball, https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/t/linux-6.2-rc4.tar.gz

Mr. Torvalds' announcement, https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/...1.1/08990.html

after issues related to kernel speed being fixed, slowness is creeping back. e.g. at the peak of kernel being slow, compilation (on my system) took 12min, then improved to 4min and now is 6min. This is between 6.0 to 6.1. I did not test 6.2 obviously as this is rc meaning slow by definition (a lot of debugging enabled) but I suspect that this trend of slowing down is progressing.

this is on 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 with 32GB RAM so depending on hardware experience may vary.
