new kernel 6.5.0-14(22.04) can not compile NVIDIA display card driver

[sakalaboator]

help!!! Today, after I update the kernel from 6.2.0-39 to 6.5.0-14, I find the latest NVIDIA display driver can not be installed by compile kernel errors. How can I solve this problem? wait NVIDIA to update drivers?

You didn't say which Nvidia driver, and if from the repo's (which work), or if a binary from Nvidia...

I can verify that the Nvidia drivers from the Ubuntu repo's work with 6.5.0-X kernels.

Because I need to use GPU to do calculation jobs, so I didnot use ubuntu repo's drivers. I download the latest driver from Nvidia website, the lastest version: 535.146.02, Linux X64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver, published date: 2023.12.7. When install, firstly, the drivers will be compiled into the kernel, than copy files to /usr/bin. Formerly, when use kernel 6.2.x, It's all right, but after update to 6.5.0-14 today, the compile failed, drivers cannot be installed.

the NVIDIA driver error log promote: cc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero’

But I do hear that with NVidia binaries, if it has a compile problem, do this

mafoelffen@msi-ubuntu:~$ grep . /proc/version
Linux version 6.5.0-14-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-110) (x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-12 (Ubuntu 12.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 12.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.38) #14~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Nov 20 18:15:30 UTC 2

See where the current running kernel was compiled with gcc-12?

gcc --version
apt -list gcc-1* --installed

It should be the same version as the running kernel... Or so i hear, that is what causes the error you are getting. If you install build essentials, then gcc-12, then temp set the sysmlink of gcc to gcc-12 (via update-alternatives, or manually)... then try that again, and see if it works. Afterwards, reset it back to gcc-11 or whatever it was originally.
Should be gcc-12

I'm having the same issues, looks like the kernel update broke with the Nvidia 535 drivers. I'm trying to fix it, as I'm stuck in a boot loop and having to trouble shoot through the root shell prompt. Even tty stopped behaving after purging the nvidia drivers.

I also see the error message being promoted: "unrecognized command-line option ‘-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero’"

Currently have gcc11 and gcc12 installed

Current kernel version: 6.5.0-14-generic

running grep . /proc/version gives:
"Linux version 6.5.0-14-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-110) (x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-12 (Ubuntu 12.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 12.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.38) #14~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Nov 20 18:15:30 UTC 2"

Using a Nvidia GeForce 3080Ti

I was using 535 drivers from a "ubuntu-drivers install", but purged them in an attempt to get this booting this morning. I'm gonna keep messing around with it, but any fixes or tips would be appreciated.

[#&thj^%]

I'm very close to yours:

inxi -Gxxz
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GA107BM [GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile] vendor: Lenovo
    driver: nvidia v: 525.147.05 arch: Ampere pcie: speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 8

I'm on the fence with Ubuntu Driver auto installer, I like my way much better with less breakage.

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535 nvidia-dkms-535

Just be sure to remove and purge the broken driver first.

It seems none of the GCC version, because the 535 version driver can be compiled into 6.2 kernel with the same gcc version and parameters. Someone says the driver in Ubuntu repo can be installed and run well. So I think the latest binary driver provided by NVIDIA has not been tested for new kernel. We can only do: 1. wait NVIDIA for new driver update, 2, install driver from Ubuntu repo. 3. fallback the kernel to 6.2.0.

You seem to be set just on using the NVidia Binary drivers from Nvidia that are not working for you. You do not seem to want to try to compile it with gcc-12 to see if that works or not.

From what I read, it works if compiled with gcc-12...

I have an idea... Post on the NVidia Forum and see what they say... It's their driver = Third party non-free.
