In a previous post, I mentioned that my nvidia 4060 mobile and the 610 driver serie would crash with wayland.
Now, I have it working. Nvidia provides a program that will tell what to install:
$ nvidia-driver-assistant
It informs of what is needed to install.
$ nvidia-driver-assistant --list-supported-distros
The following are the currently accepted distribution aliases:
amzn
debian
ubuntu
fedora
kylin
azurelinux
rhel
rocky
ol
opensuse
sles
manjaro
arch
and
$ nvidia-driver-assistant
Detected GPUs:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU - (pci_id 0x28E0)
Detected system:
Manjaro Linux
Please copy and paste the following command to install the open kernel module flavour:
sudo pacman -S linux71-nvidia-open
and it works. Here it is:
$ kinfo

Hopefully, this will help other people having problems installing nvidia drivers.
