Using kernel 5.15 but can't install any prime nvidia gpu drivers that are working

ok so test with the manjaro usb, and dont forget to boot with proprietary drivers

This is from live usb.

mhwd -li

Installed PCI configs:


              NAME               VERSION          FREEDRIVER           TYPE

video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-418xx-bumblebee 2019.10.25 false PCI

Warning: No installed USB configs!

mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 5.3.11-1-MANJARO (linux53)

nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

do i need latest iso or any iso will do the job?

thats a really old iso, definitelly download the latest iso, select again proprietary drivers, and run:
nvidia-smi

edit: is secure boot disabled in bios?

This iso was my gateway to linux so it has a separate place in my heart as souvenir :sweat_smile:

Doing it. i will try again in 5 minutes.

Yes it’s disabled.

are you running bios or uefi?

this is mobile nvidia ,
so it should be primerun nvidia-smi

always UEFI

really!! wait…

also check dmesg:
sudo dmesg | grep nvidia

is this output from the live usb?

I think driver loaded in live usb.

Yes.clear

so thats good news, your card is working… but there is something messed up in your installation… are you still in the live usb? if so chroot:
sudo manjaro-chroot -a
and post output from:
dmesg | grep nvidia

[manjaro /]# dmesg|grep nvidia
