Hi, just downloaded and installed the last GhostBSD 21.01.20. My rig has an old nvidia card only supported by legacy nvidia-driver-340, but I can't find this binary package (pkg search nvidia returns nothing about 340 driver except "linux-nvidia-libs-340-340.108").

Then I moved into the ports collection, installed kernel sources via "pkg install src" and tried to compile myself, but just after make install it fails with the error: "FAILED Applying extra patch".

So the question is, how should I install the legacy nvidia-driver-340?

Good question Ivan,
I just checked on my existing install of ghostbsd stable 12.2 where I am using the nvidia-driver-390 and it is also no longer in packages available and I am sure I have installed it with pkg install. On my test device on Ghostbsd on stable 13 the same, only the current nvidia-driver-460 is present.
Was there a problem with drivers for for -340 and -390 that they are missing in pkg? or can be the current -460 driver be used with the old libs for the legacy graphic adapter?
Please give us an advice, as on my test device I want to use the nvidia too, but I would need the 390 driver version.
TanXs for any advice in advance,
Arnold

I am surprised, just did a search on the nvidia drivers page for the right version for my graphic adapter and the result is now a driver named NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-418.113, and this driver is not on packages for 12.2 and 13 available - looks like nvida has changed their drivers?
May this be reason why the legacy 340 and 390 drivers are missing in packages?
Please advice,
Arnold

It looks like all the Nvidia ports are broken on our side. I will try to get that fix as soon I can.

Should be there now.

yes, I can confirm that the drivers are visible again, legacy drivers are back on 12.2 and 13, will test the 390 version in the evening.
Many TanXs Eric

Hi Eric,
installed the legacy driver-390 on stable 12.2 and 13 with success, no issues detected so far.
TanXs a lot for your work.
