Updated my computer last night. Graphics driver isn’t working any more. How do I make it so it starts working again?
Hello @Taz_pika,
you can remove the old driver and install the recent nvidia driver.
To remove the old:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-575xx
To install the recent driver:
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
If the remove doesn’t work because of dependencies of the meta package run this before all:
pamac remove linux-nvidia-575xx-open-meta
This will install the latest nvidia driver. If you need older one please take a look in the last stable announcement:
Good luck. 
I have successfully removed video-nvidia-575xx, but neither of the scripts for installing nonfree 0300 or video-nvidia-580xx seem to work. In fact they both have the exact same output.

Try this to this to install libxnvctrl-580xx and replace latest version libxnvctrl
pamac install libxnvctrl-580xx
Could you paste the output of:
inxi -zv8
Paste it to here, in a code block.
Or at least a
inxi -Gxxx??Unfortunately we aren’t wizards, although we think we are sometimes!
No because I am on my phone; I am not opening Firefox on my computer while my graphics driver isn’t working. I’ve been transcribing all my console outputs by hand.

inxi -zv8 | nc termbin.com 9999
Post the link here, which should be easier.
Doing this and then installing video-nvidia-580xx worked, thank you!
Just a note that the nc command may require installation of the openbsd-netcat package:
pamac install openbsd-netcat
or
sudo pacman -Syu openbsd-netcat
I just had to install it to test the termbin.com pastebin service now that uploads to the formerly recommended https://0x0.st result in the following message:
uploads disabled because it’s been almost nothing but AI botnet spam for the past few months. will be back with a few changes at some point. no ETA.%
I’ve never used third party pastebin type services.
To keep it simple…
Worst case, I just do:
inxi > inxi.txt
scp inxi.txt host:/tmp
What is host?
I have a few things I can use in my house for that. Other PCs, desk or laptops. I can use my NAS, a few fanless Linux ARM devices (and firewall if I had to).
The absolute worst case, is I would have to use my phone.
If you use Android, you can install Termux, and use that as your clipboard.
In other words:
scp -P 8022 inxi.txt user@phone-ip:~/
