Hi,
Installing the
nvidia-470xx-dkms package returns an error on my system saying
ERROR: Missing 5.16.1-artix1-1 kernel headers. My assumption is that the package is out of date, since I do have the kernel headers installed and my kernel itself is of a later version than the one mentioned in the error:
> pacman -Qs linux-headers
local/linux-headers 6.5.2.artix1-1
Headers and scripts for building modules for the Linux kernel
Can anyone confirm my suspicion and give advice on what action to take?
Cheers!
nvidia-470xx has been updated

Thanks, I can see that the version was bumped from 470.199.02-1 to 470.199.02-4, but dkms install still aborts with the same error message about not finding the 5.16 kernel headers. Could it be that the new version is still not up to date with the 6.5 kernel?
Maybe some old files from the old kernel lying around and were not removed ? Maybe in /usr/lib/modules ..
You were right, thanks so much for that suggestion! My
/usr/lib/modules/ seems to contain leftover bits and pieces from several old kernel versions:
> ls /usr/lib/modules
5.14.2-artix1-2 5.16.1-artix1-1 6.0.12-artix1-1 6.1.4-artix1-1 6.5.2-artix1-1
The
5.16.1 folder contains build scripts and after moving them out of there the dkms install completed successfully. The other old folders contain
.ko files (some compressed) and (according to
pacman -Qo) they are not owned by any package. My assumption is that it is harmless (in general) to remove these old folders, would you say that that is correct?
In any case, thanks a lot!
