Patched Nvidia 340.108 drivers supplied by Butterfly (kelebek333) at https://launchpad.net/~kelebek333/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia-legacy used to work very well till kernel 5.17.x.

Unfortunately Nvidia 340.108 patched by ppa:kelebek333/nvidia-legacy does NOT compile on new kernel 5.18 (even if it is patched for that).

Here is terminal output during compilation:

You may find a make.log file attached to find more details..

Just to inform you that updated patches for Nvidia 340.108 and kernel 5.18 are available here:
minimyth2/script/nvidia/nvidia-340.108/files at master · warpme/minimyth2 (github.com)

The site https://nvidia.if-not-true-then-false.com/patcher/NVIDIA-340xx/ also updated the patches.

Thanks in advance to a willing developer who will endeavor to compile a new working driver...
