  1. Hey, I have followed a guide for installing lutris on my device and I think that It messed up my gpu driver, since my second monitor isn’t detected anymore. I currently have these drivers installed. When trying to reinstall video-nvidiaI get:
> Removing video-nvidia...

Done ...

My optimus-manager isn’t booting anymore either, giving me the error:

ERROR: the latest GPU setup attempt failed at Xorg pre-start hook.
Log at /var/log/optimus-manager/switch/switch-20230424T191657.log
Cannot execute command because of previous errors.

And /var/log/optimus-manager/switch/switch-20230424T191657.log tells me: pastemyst | (untitled)

I used the commands: sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader and sudo pacman -S lib32-mesa vulkan-intel lib32-vulkan-intel vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-idc-loader

What guide?

Temporarily remove those two packages:

sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia-dkms python-py3nvml

Then try reinstalling the NVIDIA driver:

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

Once you’re done, you can reinstall python-py3nvml. You normally don’t need nvidia-dkms since you’ll have the precompiled kernel driver installed; i.e., linuxXX-nvidia.

Reinstalling the driver gives me:

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

Error: config 'video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime' conflicts with config(s): video-nvidia

Remove video-nvidia first:

sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia

Thanks, this seems to have fixed it. I rebooted and it works now again!
