Hi,
there are some problems using 390 Driver with new kernel 5.9, shipped with the last update of Fedora 33.
Hello Marco,
Thanks for this information, I will check this soon.
do we have this patch for kernel version 5.9?
Yes and no, it’s easy patch to working with kernel 5.9, but the real problem is it’s distribution and it’s legality. To get it work, it requires changes on licenses. It’s of course possible that NVIDIA offer some real solution to this.
Maybe if you can compile the installer yourself, you can workaround the licensing issues? Found a patch here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/0003-kernel-5.9.patch?h=nvidia-340xx
Applied it, compiled an installer using Kernel 5.9, and installed it to my fedora 33 pc. So far so good…
Hi,
your work is very usefull ; this time I have a 5.9.8-100.fc32 kernel-core on update.
It seems there is no patch for NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108 , not yet.
Work in progress ?

Hello, thank you very much for your great service. Do you have any patch for kernel 5.9 for the NVIDIA 390.138 drivers on Fedora 32?
Best regards, Gustavo
Success!

Hi All.
If you need it (like I did), I patched the 340.108 drivers to compile on the 5.9 kernel.
Download the package I built for my needs here:
https://vcloud.voipster.org/index.php/s/nvidia-340-drivers
Good lock! Have fun! :)
Cheers,
Andrew
Thanks Andrew,
I’m just coding a little bash script to download and patch NVIDIA 340.108, 390.138, 418.113 and 435.21. Situation with 5.9 kernel is bit different, because only modules with GPL license are accepted so only way to get NVIDIA LEGACY drivers working is patch kernel to accept other modules or change module licenses to GPL. It’s somewhat questionable to change module license example from NVIDIA to GPL and share full installer package (some discussion about this https://forum.manjaro.org/t/the-end-of-nvidia-proprietary-drivers-on-linux/15325 and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259936). Many other distro forums too. With download + patching script it’s only patch which is available publicly anyways (example here https://gitlab.com/EULA/snippets/-/blob/master/NVIDIA/390.138/license.patch) and it’s easy to anyone make, just grep all LICENSE rows and change license to GPL.
I think that ARCH Linux patched their kernel to allow other modules too or their current nvidia packages works only with old LTS kernels, because licenses are untouched and users reports it’s working.
I though I posted this earlier but, I didn’t see it so, I’m posting again…
If you need 340.108 drivers for the 5.9 kernel:

Enjoy! :)
Cheers,
Andrew
Thank you for this set of instructions. :)

Hello Romain,
I think that it was some cache issue, I saw your previous post.
I updated whole method to bit more sophisticated, you can download script and run it to get your patched NVIDIA installer.
