Installation of nixGLNvidia fails with latest drivers on Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS):

$ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix profile install github:guibou/nixGL#nixGLNvidia --impure

It looks for a driver file that's not available in https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/.

What is the best mitigation for this? I've seen this issue pop up on the repo from time to time (i.e. there were other issues like this one in the past, e.g. this one)

Yup, happening to me too. The download URL https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/550.40.59/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.40.59.run seems broken.

The version being downloaded for me is a Vulkan beta driver and requires a different URL altogether. This one (https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/vulkan-beta-5504061-linux) is an example for the 550.40.61 Vulkan beta driver

In order to fix this issue, would some kind of mirror containing all the Nvidia drivers (the community can also contribute, if any are missing), experimentals/Nvidia Tesla and so on, would be desirable ?

Maybe using archive.org, those files can be archived and then a mirror can be setup to also have them ready to be downloaded in an easy way.

@oessaid would installing an available version on the same major+minor with no auto-detection be a possible workaround? As in

nix-build -A auto.nixGLNvidia --argstr nvidiaVersion 550.54.14
