Fully Working Patch for Nvidia Driver 340.102 [Compiler/Installer File] and Linux Kernel 4.11

ejmarkow · April 21, 2017, 11:36am

For those who would like to immediately begin using Nvidia Driver 340.102 with Linux Kernel 4.11-rcX / 4.11, apply the fully working patch provided here:

Name of the patch file is: “nv_patch_340.102_linux_kernel_4.11”, see direct links or extract from attached “patch.zip” file below
The patch is a cleaned-up combination of 3 individual patches for Linux Kernels 4.9, 4.10, & 4.11
I have fully tested the patch and it works well without any issues
100% FULL CREDIT and MANY THANKS for those original, individual patches go out to: Alberto Milone, Michael Marley, & Robert Hooker

Instructions for Applying Patch [nv_patch_340.102_linux_kernel_4.11] to Nvidia Driver Compiler/Installer 340.102 used with Linux Kernel 4.11 in CLI/Terminal:

Download the following NVIDIA Driver Compiler/Installer file from NVIDIA website for Linux: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run
Go into CLI/Terminal, and SU into root(#)
Completely Exit Xorg Server: The command “systemctl isolate multi-user.target” usually followed by “CTL+ALT+[F1 to F6]” will do this
In CLI, go into root then provide execution permissions: “chmod 755 NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run”
Extract the Nvidia Driver Compiler/Installer Contents & Source Files: “./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run --extract-only”
Copy [cp] Patch File “nv_patch_340.102_linux_kernel_4.11” into “NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102” directory
Go into [cd] “NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102” directory where patch file is now located
Apply Patch in that directory: “patch -p0 < nv_patch_340.102_linux_kernel_4.11”
Proceed with NVIDIA Driver Compilation & Installation by running “./nvidia-installer”. Important: Make sure the Nouveau Driver is disabled-blacklisted and modeset set to 0 in /etc/modprobe.d with “blacklist nouveau” & “options nouveau modeset=0”, and the Initial RAM Disk (initrd) is created prior to compiling, installing & rebooting. Enjoy!

Note: You may wish to test out the patch first by executing a Dry-Run with:
“patch --dry-run -p0 < nv_patch_340.102_linux_kernel_4.11”

I tried this and it fails with “ERROR: Unable to load kernel module”
When I tried modprobe myself it said it couldn’t find nvidea_375 I’m guessing that’s the problem since I believe it’s supposed to look for nvidea_340 but I have no idea how to fix this

Reply to Dav1d1700, who said:

The post I made clearly indicates the patch is for Nvidia Linux Driver 340.102, and NOT 375, and is only to be used with Linux Kernel 4.11.

Thanks! Works great!

Can confirm patch worked on my system as well.

Thanks ejmarkow much appreciated.

Tip: to avoid typing error hassels change patch and NVIDIA driver run file names to simpler names prior to leaving Xorg graphics mode for installation

cmcveigh · June 8, 2017, 11:55pm

I can confirm these instructions work for Fedora 25 with kernel 4.11.x. Thanks for posting.

gcc-version-check failed:

The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc
6.3) does not exactly match the current compiler
(gcc 6.4).  The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader
rejects kernel modules built with a version of gcc
that does not exactly match that of the compiler
used to build the running kernel.

If you know what you are doing and want to override
the gcc version check, you can do so by setting the
IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH environment variable to "1".

In any other case, set the CC environment variable
to the name of the compiler that was used to compile
the kernel.

*** Failed CC version check. Bailing out! ***

ejmarkow · July 11, 2017, 8:05am

Colej,

After you apply your patch, try running the Nvidia Installer / Compilation file using the following:

./nvidia-installer --no-cc-version-check

Let us know your result.

colej · July 12, 2017, 6:45am

it works, thanks

JustinCrowe · July 16, 2017, 9:35pm

Now how about a 340.102 patch for Linux 4.12.* ??? Or better yet, driver 340.103 ???

milhouse · July 16, 2017, 9:49pm

You mean like there is here…?
