#89008 — Bug#1112208: firmware-nvidia-graphics: Missing gsp symlink for nvidia ad107

Package: firmware-nvidia-graphics
Version: 20250808-1
Severity: important

I have a NVIDIA Corporation AD107 [GeForce RTX 4060] (rev a1) in my
Debian SID box and it started failing to start GDM after installing
kernel 6.12.38 and 6.16.3.

After some debugging I found, that this newer version of the nouveau
kernel module is missing the gsp firmware blob:

kernel: nouveau NVIDIA AD107 (197000a1)
kernel: nouveau firmware: failed to load nvidia/ad107/gsp/gsp-570.144.bin (-2)

I fixed this by symlinking the ad102/gsp folder into the ad107 folder:

cd /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107/
ln -s ../ad102/gsp/

Could you do this per default? Maybe/Probably other the other ad1XX
directories need this folder with newer nouveau versions as well?

thanks
Philipp

Dear Maintainer,

the symlink is missing for ad104, too.

The correct symlink is present in the package.  The problem is that it
used to have:

    /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp
    /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp
    /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp
    /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp

and now it has:

    /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 -> ad102
    /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104 -> ad102
    /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106 -> ad102
    /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107 -> ad102

i.e. several directories were replaced by symlinks.  And dpkg does not
handle this correctly in an upgrade.

As a workaround, you can remove and reinstall the package.  But I will
need to do some work to make upgrades work correctly.

Ben.

Always try to do things in chronological order;
it's less confusing that way.
