19.03: stable nvidia driver doesn't build with kernel 5.2.x (pkgs.linuxPackages_latest)

[adamtulinius]

Describe the bug
I upgraded my local nixpkgs checkout today, and couldn't rebuild my system. Probably due to the kernel being upgraded to 5.2.x.

$ nix build nixpkgs.linuxPackages_latest.nvidia_x11
builder for '/nix/store/zarb4vcjgcp41cz2fakf8galqx50sxbm-nvidia-x11-418.74-5.2.9.drv' failed with exit code 2; last 10 log lines:

To Reproduce
Set boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest; and rebuild on a system using the non-legacy NVIDIA driver.

Expected behavior
Packages in stable should work with each other.

Additional context
Upgrading to the same version as in #66597 fixes the build problems.

I'm not sure what you're hinting at. I can easily get this working myself, but it's still a bug in 19.03.

If it's fear of backporting a newer driver, it should be doable to only use the newer driver when also using linuxPackages_latest (at least in theory :P), especially since the old one doesn't work at all.

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
