[🧱] × 

I have tried looking at Updating Error. error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) with no success

I have had to do an IgnorePkg = linux-firmware-nvidia edit to my /etc/pacman.conf just to bypass this enough to talk about it.

Is there any solutions?

Thanks

As always, use forum and web search first :slight_smile:
