Lost driver NVIDIA after update in old notebook

As I already told you in your other topic, it is not necessary to post the information about the graphics twice and three times. All relevant info is in the garuda-inxi.

Were there any error messages during the update?

I don’t have the feeling that you know what you are doing.

First check the driver version and whether all required packages are installed:

pacman -Qs nvidia

Everything was installed correctly here:

Unfortunately, you simply removed everything afterwards and also installed nvidia-470xx-dkms instead of garuda-nvidia-470xx-prime-config - that’s why nvidia-prime was missing.


It might be best to uninstall the existing nvidia drivers and install the correct package again:

sudo pacman -S garuda-nvidia-470xx-prime-config

Then reboot and check if everything works w/o issues.
