You have timeshift open, close and do it again

@adamafifi601

Please close Timeshift and try again.

[adamafifi601]

It is not open, and if so it's open in the background somewhere but when I look for it in system monitor I can't find it open.

When I try to install the driver it's saying that I'm missing these packages.

You boot from USB Stick?

[adamafifi601]

The USB stick is still in since I recently installed it, but no. It's booting from my hard drive.

[SGS]

Sorry , look in thread I post first.

In moment I have no idea. I got same error like you. I delete first python-xdg or the other one, cant remember
Then the depencies apps and after that I can instal nvidia.

[adamafifi601]

Well, for some reason it doesn't wanna work for me. Since now I'm having a TimeShift error.

[adamafifi601]

I'll try and see what happens if I try to update.

@adamafifi601

How do I remove the conflict?

Install, don’t uninstall.

sudo pacman -S python-pyxdg

When asked to remove, answer Yes.

[Bobm]

I had the same problemen. Removing Oversteer was the sollution. Thank you.
