Nvidia-455xx-455.45.01-1 is not working

Support Graphics & Display

With the changes to nvidia
the “linux59-nvidia” driver is not working
am I missing something or is one of the files in need of an update?

I have “nvidia-utils” and “mhwd-nvidia” installed but none of it seems to work.

The above provides nvidia-455xx-455.45.01-1

Tried linx54 but still no joy.

It doesn’t load? What’s the output of sudo modprobe nvidia? Is the correct mhwd configuration applied?

3

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘nvidia’: No such device

4

That’s interesting and I don’t think it should happen. What’s the output of mhwd -li and modinfo nvidia?

That could be a problem. Please use mhwd to install the drivers, or if you want a graphical interface, use Manjaro Settings Manager > Hardware Configuration.

If you don’t have an intel GPU or you don’t want to use it: sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-455xx;
if you have an intel GPU and you want to use it: sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-455xx-prime.

Or you can run sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 to let it automatically pick a configuration.

I had to install all the files “sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300” wanted first. The one problem is “lib32-nvidia-utils” cals “nvidia-455xx” which no longer exits. Found the file in th AUR and downloaded, built and installed. Guess this file needs an update?
Then “sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300” works happily skipping the previously installed files and doing its stuff. So it works now.

hi robin.
same error. and i found all the “455xx” seems no longer exits too in the AUR !
i can not get the “nvidia-455xx-utils”, which “lib32-nvidia-utils” needed from any channel.
so which package you use? please help me.

It’s now just video-nvidia as there’s now a unified driver.

It already was today.
