Cannot get Garuda to install Nvidia Drivers for 4060

Issues & Assistance Newbies
1

Hello,

I have gone through and attempted to get the nvidia drivers installed for my 4060 on my new laptop. The automated installer from the setup assistant doesn't seem to recognize my card, and when I go into hardware configuration it says unknown device.

I went through the guide that the asus-linux community have for getting linux to work on asus hardware, and tried using the g14 kernel and manually installed the nvidia driver, but after manually installing it, my system became unstable and would crash to the login screen every few minutes.
I've been scouring the archwiki and the garuda forums, and I have not been able to find a solution, so thats why I am opening this request.

Welcome :slight_smile:

First thing

Last full system update: 2023-05-16 ↻

restart.

Second, search in forum first before you open a help request, please.

Maybe this will help

or try other kernel, or you just have to wait for kernel/nvidia that support your new hardware.

The switching between integrated and dedicated graphics doesn't help me because I can't get the proprietary driver to install using the setup assistant, it goes through and attempts to scan, and then just goes straight to installing software. Would this be caused by the kernel not recognizing the card?

Just a hint.

Did you?
How do you do to install the driver?

sudo dkms autoinstall

???

Sudo Dkms Autoinstall didn't do anything,

So I installed DKMS,

Sudo DKMS autoinstall still didn't do anything

So I installed the nvidia dkms drivers using Pacman -S Nvidia-dkms per the arch wiki,
Drivers installed, Garuda still doesn't see the driver, in its hardware configurator, and I still don't get any option to install the driver in Garuda's own tools.

Please, post log from terminal as text (!!!), Sudo DKMS is wrong, copy and paste.

from post above. Move mouse over the text.
Use always sudo pacman -Syu <package name>.
It is important to keep the syntax, upper and lower case is important for commands to work in the terminal.
Please, post also as text output from

I think this is good advice. Try booting the LTS kernel, then try installing the driver again.
