Post-update problem installing nvidia driver with mhwd

Support Graphics & Display
1

Hi y’all, is my first post here. Looking for guidance.

Updated the system with pamac gui today. After reboot, I had no nvidia kernel driver.

mhwd attempts to download linux513-nvidia-470.63.01-5-x86_64, which does not exist on the repo. I see the repo instead contains linux513-nvidia-470.63.01-7-x86_64

So something on my system is out of sync or out of date?

So far, I’ve tried the following

# refresh mirror list
pacman-mirrors -f5

# force reinstall mhwd-db
pacman -Syu mhwd-db

# install the nvidia driver
mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

I get this output from mhwd

# mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

Any advice how I could sort this out?

Hi and welcome to the forum :wave:

This should report what pamac did with your nvidia drivers:
$ cat /var/log/pacman.log |grep nvidia | tail -20
(last 20 lines of the pamac log mentioning nvidia)

I use 2 of the mirrors you have and they work perfectly for me so bit stumped what could cause this. does sudo pacman -Syu sync your database again and solve the download problem?

How do you check that the nvidia driver is not installed?

Could you provide an inxi please? and what does mhwd report ?
see: How to provide good information
edit: thak you for using the correct formatting, that makes it readable and searchable

version kernels 5.13 is EOL
you should have version 510 LTS installed and 5.14 installed

I might have (had) a similar problem, just “solved” it for now by completely removing the proprietary nvidia driver.

I would be also interested in a solution to make it work again …
