MHWD (Hardware Configuration) fails to install DKMS-modules

[Madeveda]

Hi guys,

I have a problem with MHWD after reinstalling my GPU-driver which results in it failing to install the DKMS-modules it needs. I think it's similar to the problem in this thread:

Error on System boot after installing Nvidia drivers

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 can also fix the driver problem itself by manually installing the necessary modules with

sudo dkms install --no-depmod -m nvidia -v 470.74 -k 5.14.11-zen1-1-zen

however I would prefer to fix MHWD itself so that I dont have to reinstall all DKMS-modules myself each time I change something.
By looking in the error log I think something is wrong with the PATH in MHWD because it cant find basic programs like cc and make (which I can use both normally if I use the command myself both in bash and fish).

I hope somebody can help me, unfortunately I dont have a snapshot from before the driver installation as I'm new to Garuda and configured the tool badly (max 10 snapshots and no timed snapshots) and tried reinstalling the driver many times, resulting in me only having snapshots after the first driver installation.

I think something is wrong with the PATH in MHWD because it cant find basic programs like cc and make (which I can use both normally if I use the command myself both in bash and fish).

Hmm. This comes up from time-to-time and I don't think there was a solid answer...

As it is, once you've installed nvidia-dkms then it will recompile whenever the kernel is updated (which is the whole point of DKMS), so if this isn't happening it might indicate why MHWD is having an issue.

It's not only the Nvidia-module of DKMS, acpi_call and bbswitch (which are both needed by video-optimus-manager) also needed manual installation with the same problem. As I wrote it works normally and as intened when I execute the commands MHWD tries to execute myself.
I also just tested to install a new kernel and got the same errors when it tried to install the DKMS-modules, so I guess its a problem with Garuda Settings Manager (and therefore Manjaro Settings Manager) in general. Does anyone know of any config files for the Garuda Settings Manager I could look into?

The problem is not breaking my system or anything, I can always run the commands myself when I change a kernel or driver, I just hate the thought of having a "broken" system which cant do something its supposed to do.
