Freeze during installation using propietary drivers

Try rebooting from a working snapshot. Then

sudo pacman -Syu

reboot

then

sudo dkms autoinstall

reboot and test if working nicely.

I posted this earlier, to help you. Many may post, please read your own thread thoroughly.

I was about to try that but for no reason my DE stop working and now I have to reinstall Garuda.

I will try to install with open source, update, reboot and do sudo dkms autoinstall. and see what happens.

Please keep us informed.

For future reference,

The error there should be quite clear.

Egg on my face indicates learning has taken place, Senpai :rofl: (should have clocked that)

Edit for below - I still didn't clock it, so useful for me also, J. :slightly_smiling_face: Helpers learn too.

Question: Why are you installing the 390xx drivers on a GPU that is supported by the 460xx drivers?

6 Likes

Hum? Wait... 390xx isn't the lastest? There are two options dkms Nvidia and dkms Nvidia 390xx what should I install?

Edit- Yeah I'm a linux noob hehe, but I really wanna learn, and garuda was the most interesting distro

First :slight_smile:

Just to be sure, this sudo dkms autoinstall is supposed to return nothing on konsole right?

AFAIK if correct, no output is returned.

Alright, the last thing I have to deal with is python-pyxdg and python-xdg conflict thing... it's hard to use Linux, but is fun to learn how to use it correctly
