Can't install nvidia-settings

Support Graphics & Display

I’ve been trying to get lutris running league of legends for a few hours now. When I run it, it tells me to get Vulkan. I’ve been following a guide and ran into an issue.

Warning: Please ensure your graphics card is supported by modern Nvidia driver before installing. For a list of supported GPUs click here:

nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/149138/en-us

Proprietary driver and support for Vulkan are required for proper functionality of games.
To install it, execute following command:

sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader

When I execute the command I get this:

[sh0tz@sh0tzPC ~]$ sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
warning: nvidia-utils-470.57.02-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
error: target not found: nvidia-settings
warning: vulkan-icd-loader-1.2.185-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: lib32-vulkan-icd-loader-1.2.184-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

So the error is:

error: target not found: nvidia-settings

I have no idea what to do now. I tried googleing a bit, but no result helped
Here’s the guide link: docs/InstallingDrivers.md at master · lutris/docs · GitHub

Nvidia drivers in Manjaro are installed via MHWD, and during install, the scripts will also install nvidia-utils that already has nvidia-settings
There is no such nvidia-settings separate package.
Also

You don’t need that, unless you run a custom kernel without the precompiled nvidia modules.

Please share:

It looks like you have nouveau/free drivers installed which won’t have vulkan. The easiest option is to open manjaro settings go to hardware configuration and install the nvidia drivers there using the gui. You can also do it using cli and mhwd

As stated above, you run nouveau drivers. Remove them like this from terminal:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-linux
Install the nvidia proprietary drivers:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
Reboot and test your games.
