  • Slow night -- time for a [Build Report] for Linux 6.15

    From vallor@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 28 05:50:43 2025
    Linux 6.15 has been released.

    $ uname -a
    Linux lm 6.15.0 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 26 22:25:03 PDT 2025 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    real 416.11
    user 19116.13
    sys 3931.93

    To get the NVIDIA driver to work with it, I had to install it
    with two flags:

    nvidia-installer command line:
    ./nvidia-installer
    –no-unified-memory
    –skip-module-load

    This is because the unified memory module won't build. (I tried
    the MIT/GPL branch, didn't try the proprietary branch.)

    Without unified memory, CUDA won't work. So I'm out of luck there
    until they fix it. Here is the error:
