Nvidia-dkms and linux515-nvidia are in conflict

When I am trying to update I am getting:

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: nvidia-dkms and linux515-nvidia are in conflict

Should I manually remove linux515-nvidia?

Since mhwd is used, do it like this:

sudo mhwd --remove pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime
pamac install nvidia-dkms

I’d rather check what you need nvidia-dkms for first…

It is a dependency for python-cuda

:: removing nvidia-dkms breaks dependency 'NVIDIA-MODULE' required by python-cuda

:point_down:

coomunity package python-cuda depends on nvidia-dkms. I need python-cuda. I wonder why python-cuda specifically depends on nvidia-dkms if linuxXXX-nvidia also provides identical functionalities.

It depends on NVIDIA-MODULE which both nvidia-dkms and linuxXXX-nvidia provide. Either can be used.

❯ pacman -Si python-cuda | grep 'Depends On'
Depends On      : cuda  cython  NVIDIA-MODULE
