Getting error when doing auto install proprietary driver or auto install open source driver or by manually selecting the nvidia driver from manjaro setting manger

here’s the error when doing auto install proprietary driver from manjaro setting manger :

Hi @abhishek_jorwal, and welcome!

@abhishek_jorwal

error: could not set install reason for package libva-mesa-driver (could not find or read package)

This is probably due to your mirrors needing a refresh.

Try running the following:

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack=5 && sudo pacman -Syu

…followed by trying to install the driver again.

Tip

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

For more information, please see:

@Fabby

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

As I’m a moderator on the forum, I have taken the liberty of doing this for you, this time.

---

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

OK, your packages might be slightlly messed up. Let’s first try and remove all orphans:

pamac remove --orphans

Please provide the output of the command. Then please providee the output of:

mhwd --list

[abhishek_jorwal]

here’s the output

[abhishek@jorwal ~]$ pamac remove --orphans
Nothing to do.
[abhishek@jorwal ~]$ mhwd --list

[Mirdarthos]

OK. a Couple of wuestions:

• Have you recently performed a full upgrade?
• What kernel are you using?
• Please provide the output of:

  inxi --full --admin --filter --width --repos
  

[soundofthunder]

@abhishek_jorwal

Still Getting the same error

When you provide command output, please also include the actual command used. Thanks.

Note that most of these errors seem to be warnings resulting from trying to install packages that already exist. Here again, the importance of also providing the (full) command that you used, so that others may immediately understand the context of the output.

[abhishek_jorwal]

No! I was just installing some packages for the newly installed manjaro’s minimal xfce after getting this error i tried “-syu” seems to be use for full upgrade i think other than this i didn’t did anything

[abhishek_jorwal]

basically that output is from the manjaro settings manager while try to auto install .

[soundofthunder]

Let me try to understand:

You have already installed Manjaro XFCE using the latest ISO available.

Now you are attempting to use a script to manually install additional packages – perhaps using manjaro-auto-install.

Is this correct?

[abhishek_jorwal]

No !

I’m using manjaro setting manager to install the driver bcz it autodetects the system driver and the usefull driver that needed to be install weather threw auto install proprietary drive or threw auto install open-source driver

The warnings in the output you gave seem to indicate the driver(s) you wish to install, are already installed.

I’ll leave this for others to decipher.

Regards.

[abhishek_jorwal]

Actually I edit that response with new response bcz moderator told me to use ~ in my new edit , but in between for temporary i install some of the nvidia driver for my need manually .

libva-mesa-driver

libva-mesa-driver has gone it is now part of mesa you should uninstall it.

I have the same issue while switching to nouveau:

error: could not set install reason for package libva-mesa-driver (could not find or read package)

I’ll update mhwd-db with a fix shortly.

[abhishek_jorwal]

I again fresh installed the latest manjaro xfce minimal version so that no issue would be there from my end after updating mirror and full system upgrade “-Syu”

Still the script fails for another reason when doing auto install proprietary driver using manjaro settings manager

here’s the error

There is a problem with the repos not having the package.

See here;

Optimus manager in Wayland

https://manjaristas.org/branch_compare?q=libxnvctrl Looks like its missing from the repos for some reason… I’ll ping @Yochanan who is the maintainer.

Currently only available in Unstable Branch.
