nvidia drivers issues

[indigo lance]

do you know how ventoy works?

and followed the steps properly

?

[broken wing]

i used the one that i put arch on

[indigo lance]

did you disable the secure boot off in bios and fastboot mode in control panel in windows?

[broken wing]

ofc

[indigo lance]

also please add your system specs in the post so people can help you

[broken wing]

why would that effect me going from arch to mint?

i know the problems with going nvidia

which i did choose because i have a new gpu that is waiting to be installed later from amd

[indigo lance]

ok but did you try flashing mint iso on a usb instead of going with ventoy?

[indigo lance]

50 series?

[broken wing]

no i have an old ass 1660 super it has no drivers cuz nvidia sucks

and the new one is 6900 xt

waiting on pipse cuz water cooled

[indigo lance]

wait now you're in arch?

[broken wing]

yes

i am having random kernel panics thats why i want to go to mint

[indigo lance]

Did you install nvidia drivers?

[broken wing]

there isnt

[indigo lance]

bruh

[broken wing]

i have tried to get drivers working for months and i went to nvidia told me there are none with the new update

and im installing a new gpu anyways so why would i fuck my system

[indigo lance]

who tf said that

[broken wing]

ppl in nvidia

tho i do not plan on getting drivers

cuz my 6900 xt is coming

[indigo lance]

bruh does your cpu have an igpu?

[broken wing]

no

[indigo lance]

that's why you're having kernel panics

[broken wing]

no i was fine without drivers for a long time

[indigo lance]

just do nvidia-dkms and nvidia drives are installed

[broken wing]

it happened yesterday

[indigo lance]

arch is bleeding edge and there are going to be changes once in a while

so it might have happened to you then

[broken wing]

well if i install drivers now will my new amd gpu get affected when i get it?

[indigo lance]

no

[broken wing]

ok so my friend lied to me bout that shit

[indigo lance]

yeah

[broken wing]

ima install drivers then come back to u and see if its good ok?

[indigo lance]

cuz one of my friend is using that same gpu and playing games on Linux

[broken wing]

so whats the command to install them?

[indigo lance]

first tell me which kernel are you using cuz you'll need kernel headers

[broken wing]

uh

[indigo lance]

kernel headers will handle your drivre update automatically

[broken wing]

do i just send a neofetch photo?

[indigo lance]

just run uname -r

and tell me the name

[indigo lance]

so you're on default kernel

[broken wing]

yeah

[indigo lance]

look that's your gpu

and it's on linux

[broken wing]

uh

ok

is that on the app that i dont have or is it on the site?

[indigo lance]

website

https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all

type this in terminal

git clone https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all

then type cd nvidia-all

[broken wing]

ok

[indigo lance]

makepkg -si

bruh remove the ~ in front of git

[broken wing]

oh ok

its good now

i just choose the latest one right?

nvm

[indigo lance]

wait there are different variants if you're confused just ask me which one to install

[broken wing]

yeah idk that

[indigo lance]

choose 575

then dkms

then y

[broken wing]

thank u man my dumb ass friend cant think cuz he has amd he told me this fake shit just so i can get one '-'

im guessing N ?

[indigo lance]

wait press ctrl+c

and just run sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms

and hit y

[broken wing]

ok?

[indigo lance]

yeah

[broken wing]

oh

it did itself

like it choose the things i didnt have to

[indigo lance]

so now is it installling?

[broken wing]

yup

its done

[indigo lance]

show me

[broken wing]

so do i just reboot?

or do i need to choose what driver to work?

[indigo lance]

yeah

just reboot

[broken wing]

ok

[indigo lance]

and after rebooting run nvidia-smi in terminal and send me a screenshot

[broken wing]

it did some weird glitching thing like in those dumb glitch edits but i see that so much in gnome i dont think its an issue

[indigo lance]

now what happened?

[indigo lance]

oh so it didn't get install because of those dependency errors

wait

[broken wing]

?

[indigo lance]

sudo pacman -Rdd lib32-nvidia-utils-tkg lib32-opencl-nvidia-tkg nvidia-dkms-tkg nvidia-egl-wayland-tkg nvidia-settings-tkg nvidia-utils-tkg opencl-nvidia-tkg

run this

then reboot

[broken wing]

my system might get a kernel panic at any moment

i know this type of lag

[indigo lance]

it'll remove whatever we have done

[broken wing]

is it safe to download it while having kernel panic

[indigo lance]

when was the last time you did an upgrade?

[indigo lance]

you're removing not downloading

[broken wing]

i update very often

[broken wing]

oh

wait

[indigo lance]

nice

[broken wing]

lemme stop every thing

[indigo lance]

ok bro I'm going for the dinner just wait for a few mins I'll be back soon

btw when you remove and reboot

do this after that

sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms linux-headers

and reboot

that's it

[broken wing]

ok

thx man

have a nice day

if ur still here

uh

this happened

all errors

[indigo lance]

Internet issue

Run this sudo pacman -Syy

Then do the installation

[broken wing]

thank you

uh

this has turned into a damn shitshow of bugs

nvidia drivers issues

[indigo lance]

flatpak comes with their own sets of drivers and dependencies

so just run flatpak update and all the required packages and drivers will be installed

[red sage]

hello i installed my nvidia driver successly after months of fight 🙂 wanna know how i did ?

[indigo lance]

did you download it form the website or used your package manager

[red sage]

package manager

sudo apt-get install
