Nvidia dkms build fail after update

I just finished peforming an update a while ago. Nvidia package got updated to 510.68.02.

Whenever the system tries to build the nvidia dkms module, it fails.

It says “Error! Build of nvidia.ko failed for: 5.15.36_1” (it also fails for 5.16.16/18/20)

I checked dkms make.log and cannot find anything suspicious. Tried grepping for “error” but it does not return anything.

The error that I see is when running the dkms build or performing xbps-reconfigure —force linux5.15:

/bin/dkms: line 1315: ((: < 2: syntax error: operand expected (error token is “< 2”)

Any ideas to resolve this?

UPDATE: Since I cannot seem to figure out the issue, I ended up reinstalling Void. Something must have been corrupted hence causing the issue.

I have not upgraded to 510.68.02 yet, but if multiple people do not report this error, I would suspect your nvidia package did not update properly or is corrupted somehow. I might try force reinstalling nvidia, nvidia-libs, nvidia-dkms, before moving on to other options

Tried reinstalling and reconfiguring, and it still failing. I don’t think it is related to that specific version. I think something just got corrupted in my system.

I had this problem with the nvidia drivers a few weeks ago. After multiple times uninstalling, rebuilding, etc and still receiving an "Error!", it dawned on me that the nvidia.ko file was never actually being rebuilt because xbps-remove did not remove the existing copy. So delete nvidia.ko and reinstall. That worked for me.

Thanks for the tip. I checked /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/drivers/video and did not find a file that has “nvidia.”

find /lib/modules -name nvidia doesn't turn up anything? That's unfortunate. Sorry dude.

I don't have the same error but I have problems with this nvidia update as well.

Like op the make.logs didn't give my any errors, but trying xbps-reconfigure gave the same error as this post (replace 5.4 with 5.16).

nvidia-dkms: configured successfully.

While the drivers are working, I'm getting micro stutters and freezes during normal operation which I did have before the nvidia update. Reinstalling and reconfiguring isn't working for me either.

Your /bin/sh shall be dash, not something else.

That is not a shell command prompt.
