Here are some of the errors. I have tried installing the new kernel with your script and also with apt. I don't need the nvidia module. Would it help to remove that first? How should I resolve this? Or is it a timing error like I had about a month ago?

Can you try the latest kernel?

Didn't work. I tried after first removing the kernels this way apt remove linux-headers-6.7.3-1-liquorix-amd64 linux-image-6.7.3-1-liquorix-amd64 linux-headers-6.7.3-2-liquorix-amd64 linux-image-6.7.3-2-liquorix-amd64 linux-image-liquorix-amd64 linux-headers-liquorix-amd64 so that apt install -f did not show any errors or uninstalled packages but it still failed with about the same messages.

Had the same issue as well so purged out 6.7.3-1. Something might have changed between 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 that broke nvidia driver 545 series so awaiting a patch before upgrading kernels.

Current release, 6.7-7 / 6.7.3-3 fixes the issue by making some GPL exports non-GPL for nvidia drivers. I'll mark this as resolved.

I shall give that a try, thanks Damentz!

Always something breaking with nvidia proprietary drivers...

EDIT: Driver now builds successfully with the fixed package and desktop now loads. Thanks!

Hi
I also had an issue with installing kernel 6.7.8-1 on a debian bookorm. It is possible there is a common cause.

In my case it comes from a xtrx module, I see your error is related to nvidia which is even closer to the cause I found below.

My search

Searching a bit, I found I had an error with



I looked at that and found several errors of the following kind:




Looking further, I landed on https://github.com/NVIDIA/gds-nvidia-fs/issues/32[link]
that mentions

with some more details about why vm fields are now private - starting from kernel 6.4.

Further searches

In my case, the error comes from xtrx, this is a module that the postinstall script tries to build. It manages some software defined radio device.

The file xtrx.c comes from the xtrx-dkms package I have installed, probably as I activated some Soft Defined Radio features.
It can be found in


I found it as well in github:[link] here it has a patch to avoid the issue for after 6.4 kernel.

I replaced the files with the newer fixed ones (because no more recent version is available as a package on debian bookworm stable).
The change is around

I restarted the install and Voilà , it worked.

Regarding the Nvidia case, that might require an update of the related dkms package or updating the faulty source code.
