Error on System boot after installing Nvidia drivers

Raju · 28 May 2021 18:49

I recently installed Garuda Linux and experienced a lot of frame drops even when watching/streaming videos. Apparently proper driver wasn't installed for my card. I did some research to choose proper driver for my card model following This Arch Wiki and installed related drivers using pacman. On restart I experienced a boot error. The system was simply stuck on boot.
Login through a snapshot and some research later I again installed using Software Center. On restart faced the same issue of being stuck on boot.
Another Snapshot and Having learnt my lesson, I went a bit deeper into the research and saw few common threads in this forum but a bit different issue. I saw in a thread to install via Hardware manager in settings and after successful install the same stuck on boot after restart.
On all my 3 tries the installation process was without any failure.

On installing via settings there were some errors but it showed that driver was installed. I am not sure if i am doing anything wrong

jonathon · 28 May 2021 19:34

This is the driver package for the linux kernel. It won’t do anything on other kernels.

Compare that to the mhwd output:

This is the DKMS driver that is built for each installed kernel. Now, looking further:

Something is causing the compilation process to fail. Therefore, either look at the contents of

to determine why, or pastebin and link so someone here can see.

I thought base-devel was installed by default…

Ah, well, run:

sudo pacman -Syu base-devel

and then try installing the drivers again.

petsam · 28 May 2021 21:32

Reading your posted terminal outputs, I think your system is in an unknown condition right now.
Maybe it is possible to boot safely to the linux kernel, but IIUC you don't have it installed.

Anyway, I think it is safer for now to reboot and select a previous snapshot, before all these changes (from yesterday?).

Then

Run Timeshift GUI and restore the snapshot you have just booted.
Reboot and select a normal kernel (linux-lts is a good choice)
Apply a system packages update (pacman -Syu)
Reboot again to linux-lts
Open Garuda Hardware Manager and click "Auto-install proprietary drivers")

If there are errors again. post relevant info.
If not reboot to check status.

Thanks a lot for your time and effort. It is fixed now which certainly wouldn’t be possible without the admins help. Proud to install Garuda.
Appperantly the problem was with dependency modules not being installed.

I saw in a thread about suggestion to install nvidia-lts package for the kernel and the issue got fixed after that. Thanks a lot!!

petsam · 29 May 2021 14:16

I doubt this was the real issue. This is supposed to be installed automatically by mhwd anyway.
If you have (un)installed packages with pacman (and think this fixed your issue), it may mean there may be a bug in mhwd/MSM

What installation ISO have you used to install?
