Remmina crashes after one of the 2025-12 updates

I don’t know if it is the right way to resolve my initial problem, but it helps, remmina works with no issues

The nouveau driver is likely to work.

Please remove all packages related to linux 6.17 - it is EOL and will only cause issues at a later point.

To be able to understand what happens on your system it is important that you let us know what packages are on the system - especially those related to nvidia.

This is what is happening upstream from Arch Linux

Arch Linux announcement on NVDIA 590

NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal and lower support; main packages switch to Open Kernel Modules

2025-12-20 - Peter Jung

With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older. We will replace the nvidia package with nvidia-open, nvidia-dkms with nvidia-open-dkms, and nvidia-lts with nvidia-lts-open.

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.

Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to the legacy proprietary branch to maintain support:

• Uninstall the official nvidia, nvidia-lts, or nvidia-dkms packages.
• Install nvidia-580xx-dkms from the AUR

Users with Turing (20xx and GTX 1650 series) and newer GPUs will automatically transition to the open kernel modules on upgrade and require no manual intervention.

[DRAFT] NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal support

With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older.

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.

Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to a legacy driver to maintain support:

• Install the official linuxXXX-nvidia-575xx, linuxXXX-nvidia-570xx, or related DKMS packages.

The current status of the Nvidia drivers is a mixed experience.

Some have no issues others do.

Your GPU is Nvidia 1050

Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] vendor: Gigabyte driver: nvidia
    v: 580.119.02 alternate: nouveau,nova_core,nvidia_drm non-free: 550-580.xx+
    status: current (as of 2025-11; EOL~2026-12-xx) arch: Pascal code: GP10x
    process: TSMC 16nm built: 2016-2021 pcie: gen: 3 speed: 8 GT/s lanes: 16

Whether this card will work with 570xx, 575xx or 580xx may be a hit or a miss.

This is why I recommend using the open source nouveau driver and as you experienced remmina is now working.

I am not deep down in mhwd - because I don’t use Nvidia (except for a laptop with 5070 currently at my daughters hand).

@iamarukashi

For now i’ve started DE with noveau driver. What do I do next? No nvidia driver is functional right now

Now that I am forced to think about it - it may be that mhwd - when installing the opensource driver is blacklisting the nvidia driver and vice-versa.

If that is so - I am to blame, please accept my apology.

This means that to use one of the video-nvidia-<version>xx one need to remove the opensource driver.

sudo mhwd -r pci video-linux

Then install one of the versioned drivers - video-nvidia-nvidia-{570|575|580}xx.

Example installing video-nvidia-nvidia-580xx

sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-nvidia-580xx

Be sure to restart the system
