Does garuda-update also update the nvidia driver?

baileys · April 23, 2025, 5:01pm

Is the command garuda-update also updating nvidia driver?

 Graphics:

nvidia latest Production Branch Version is: 570.144
My version seems to be 570.133.07

Where can I check which is the latest nvidia driver for garuda?
I’m always a bit careful updating graphics drivers.

Yes, garuda-update updates those drivers, and will go to:

ok, I did make an garuda-update but it doesn’t seem to update the nvidia-driver.

It is/was updated.

nepti · April 23, 2025, 5:37pm

You probably did not reboot after the previous update. That is why it is important to always include the garuda-inxi in the start post.

baileys · April 23, 2025, 10:39pm

Well I did post the inxi graphis part. I’m at fault here, I understand.
This is what I did:
garuda-update → garuda-inxi (was showing old driver version) → put a post here.
I restarted the system after post and replyed to the comment. Since garuda-update did show theres nothing to update, which is why I was assuming the version number didn’t change. I didn’t recheck if the version number in the inxi did change. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the help anways. (Is it allowed to post here thanks etc? I know that in stack overflow those comments like “Hello”, “Thanks” etc. are not wanted.

It is not forbidden , but

Keep It Tidy
