Recent totally fresh Garuda Dr460nized install. Opted to boot with proprietary drivers. After installing, ran garuda-update and garuda-hardware-tool --nonfree. Still, Garuda Rani does not work. I am not able to upload screenshot, but it is stuck with the “Initializing application…” text with the progress bar reading 20% and with the logo above. The window is movable, but trying to maximize the window will cause the top bar to sort of recede behind the application so that its only partially visible. From that point it is useless.
From a previous attempt at running garuda, I know that if I throw commands at the wall in an attempt to install the nvidia open drivers, rani will be fixed. However, I apparently don’t know how to correctly install those drivers so at some point my system because unusable. A different issue which I hope will be taken care of by having rani working.
Here is the output when run from command line with the same behavior:
λ garuda-rani

INFO [20:54:19.000]: Renderer - No updates available
Stays this way indefinitely.
Here is my inxi:
