Hey all,
I’m getting a black screen on my external monitor which is not 4k but the resolution is QHD (2560x1440).
I have already updated my system using
pamac update
I have also updated driver using
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
Output of
inxi -G
is:
Graphics: Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] driver: nvidia v: 465.31
Device-3: Sunplus Innovation Integrated_Webcam_HD type: USB driver: uvcvideo
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.11 driver: loaded: modesetting,nvidia resolution: 1: 1920x1080~60Hz
2: 2560x1440~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 465.31
The stable update note says problem with 4k displays, but mine is not 4k display, what should I do?
Anyways, I tried to install 460.73 Driver from the Sourceforge link given in the announcement, and I tried following this post here
I downloaded lib32-nvidia-utils-460.73.01-1-x86_64 and nvidia-utils-460.73.01-1-x86_64 and followed the Pacman update procedure linked in the above post.
I do not know how to use dkms package, so skipped that part.
After running that in the terminal, I got this error:
sudo pacman -U /home/rohit/Documents/Nvidia/460.73/nvidia-utils-460.73.01-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /home/rohit/Documents/Nvidia/460.73/lib32-nvidia-utils-460.73.01-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

:: installing nvidia-utils (460.73.01-1) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=465.31' required by linux510-nvidia
:: installing nvidia-utils (460.73.01-1) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=465.31' required by linux54-nvidia
I removed linux510-nvidia and linux54-nvidia through Add/Remove software GUI, now after rebooting, I’m able to see my screen properly, but optimus manager is showing that its using Intel, I want it to use Nvidia, so when I try switching, it shows error saying drivers are not installed properly.
So I went and downloaded nvidia-460.73.01-PKGBUILDs.zip
extracted it, cd into nvidia-utils and ran the command
makepkg -si
It showed me
Unable to install module nvidia/460.73.01 for kernel 5.10.2-2-MANJARO: Missing kernel headers.
So I ran the command
sudo pacman -S $(mhwd-kernel -li | grep '*' | cut -d ' ' -f5 | awk '{print $0,"-headers"}' | sed s'/ //'g)
and tried to repeat above procedure again, but I’m getting the same error.
