Can't build nvidia driver on Linux 4.19 (Ubuntu 20.04)
zbceric opened this issue · comments
NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version
545.29.06
Operating System and Version
Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Kernel Release
4.19.112-0062 (Custom)
Build Command
When building the NVIDIA driver, I encountered an error where ld couldn't find a series of .o files. I am using a custom kernel, and the project can be found at https://github.com/Soheil-ab/sage/. I want to install the NVIDIA driver for this kernel. I tried compiling from source code and also attempted to install using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.146.02.run, but both failed. However, when I switched to the default 5.4.0-169-generic kernel in Ubuntu, I was able to compile the driver successfully. I suspect that there may be an issue with the custom kernel, and I'm wondering if there are any specific kernel requirements for compiling the driver. How can I resolve the aforementioned problem?

Could you provide a more complete build log? I suspect the problem actually happened earlier in the build, resulting in failing to produce these object files, and the link failure is fallout from that. How are you invoking the build and pointing the build at your custom kernel?

This is the log file generated when running NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.113.01.run. Thanks!
