Cannot install "video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime" driver after misclicked uninstall instead of reinstall

Support Graphics & Display

hi, i am trying to find a solution for over 4 hours now but i still can’t find a solution.

so i tried to reinstall “video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime” after i accidentally uninstall it instead of clicking reinstall. (just don’t ask why)

so when i install using the “Manjaro Settings Manager” > “Hardware Configuration”:

> Installing video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime...

Error: script failed!

this is the output

after that i tried “sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300”:

i tried replace “nonfree” with “free”:

and i tried multiple mirrors like mirrors in China, Singapore, Thailand over to the United States. i even tried sudo pacman -Syu multiple times and it still said "there is nothing to do"

specs:
Kernel version: 6.6.26-1-MANJARO
GPU: RTX 3050 Mobile & Intel Iris Xe

and i have some problems with the obs studio audio problem that the audio devices doesn’t get recognized in the audio mixer, i tried changing in settings and it didn’t fix it.

Evidently you butchered your pacman.conf file. There is extra repo missing and you added… whatever that is. I’d like to see the file.

no wonder without extra repo :neutral_face:

When you mess around with your system - please mention this in your help request post, otherwise you waste our time.

thanks and i am so sorry but i didn’t touch the extra repo, after you said that i now noticed it was commented but i swear i don’t mess with that.

I understand extra is enabled by default (uncommented) - this didn’t magically happen - you (or someone else) must have done that.

At least you’ve corrected it now. Cheers.

Who else did it then? Running some random command or script you don’t understand what’s doing still equals to “you did it”. Anyway, glad that it’s solved.

Error: could not register 'home_lamlng_Arch' database (database already registered) - #2 by mithrial
You are using a non supported third-party repo.
Judging from the name, it’s targeted towards Arch, you might be better off removing it from your config.
