Can't install Nvdia graphics driver

RzR · 2 June 2021 01:11

I have tried installing Nvdia drivers throught garuda settings and pacman too.
they get installed but then im stuck with my internal iGPU as main. optimus-manager doesn't switch the gpu as its not able to detect installed driver.
Nvdia-smi gives me this output:-

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

any help would be appreciated

If mhwd can't detect drivers try looking at this thread: Nvidia Drivers Installed but mhwd doesn't show them - #3 by WernerRomling

I use optimus-manager with nvidia drivers too. Maybe you can try installing optimus-manager-qt to switch drivers easily.
I use the nvidia-all drivers. You can try using these drivers.
Make sure you are installing the dkms version AND the headers for the kernel you are using, (probably linux-zen) or else custom kernels like the one garuda is using won't work.

I think you just need to install the dkms version.

I tried dkms in Nvidia-all given by the user above but still the same

Couple of things you should do:

Follow the instructions here
Uninstall all nvidia packages and reboot. You could alternatively reload a previous snapshot before you decided to update nvidia drivers. If so you will need to do step 1 again.
Install dkms from nvidia-all.

==> ERROR: A (correctly made?) linux-headers package can't be found.
If you're sure it's installed, blame your kernel maintainer.

I get this error

Right I did not realize you were on a laptop. Next time you post put up your inxi -Fxxxza output so poeple know what they are dealing with. As for your solution:
