Hello all,
At first, happy new year to everybody.
Second, I am a bit surprised that apparently, nobody has experienced the same issue (see below).
I am running Q4OS Gemini (4.7.1-n1) with the (from a Debian perspective) shiny new kernel 4.19.0-1.
As recommended by `nvidia-detect`, I tried to install the `nvidia-driver` package but this fails. Here is the interesting part from the logs:
Compiler version check failed:
The major and minor number of the compiler used to compile the kernel:
gcc version 8.2.0 (Debian 8.2.0-13)
does not match the compiler used here:
gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110
The log recommends setting the environment variable `IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH` to "1" but unfortunately, this does not seem to help.
I tried
export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH="1"
followed by
apt install nvidia-driver but the error remains - it looks like this environment variable is ignored by both apt and make.
Not surprisingly, adding IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 to /etc/environment and rebooting, does not help, either.
As a consequence, the graphical desktop now fails to load.
What can I do to fix that?
UPDATE: Looks like you will have to search for an updated kernel manually. Simply upgrading Q4OS (as per instructions from the forum here https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.ph … 058#p22058 ) is not enough as this does not upgrade the kernel - it remains at 4.19 despite of 5.10 being available in the repository.
There should be some mechanism of preventing an installation of the nvidia-driver when a kernel prior to 5.10 is being used.
Thank you very much and kind regards.
