Hi, I use grauda dragon edition latest but I am trying to install nvidia drivers on it.
I have tried auto install option which is build in.
But I was unable to boot so I came back through snapshot then tried nvidia package a said in arch wiki. Same results so I came back from it again it's a fresh install just installed today. I am using zen kernel I tried driver form nvidia site too but. Shows error saying can't build kernel modules
I have nvidia GeForce GTX 705
Hi there, welcome!
There are being several similar issues recently, in relations to recent kernel an nvidia driver updates.
My initial suggestion would be to restore again from snapshot, install the linux-lts kernel
sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers
and try updating again (the system and the built-in nvidia drivers provided by the Garuda Assistant / Installation)
In case of further booting issues, you could try following this tutorial.
Computer doesn’t boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message
PS: please always provide your inxi -Faz according to the new topic template
Also keep in mind that this card is not supported by the nvidia-dkms driver, so you will need to use nvidia-390xx-dkms instead.
I was just installing nvidia dkms so should I uninstall it
Is there any extra step to do
Did that but now I am struck at starting terminate Plymouth boot screen what to do know😅
Try CTRL+ALT+F2 to see if you can boot to a TTY (terminal).
If you do, then login and try startx
It says no screen found
Try also other Fx (with CTRL+ALT) or Esc.
If nothing works, switch off and on and in the Grub menu select the linux-zen kernel instead of the linux-lts.
Same with Zen kernel
So you have to restore a previously working snapshot from grub.
Then try to unistall from the garuda assstant any proprietary drivers and install nvidia-390xx-dkms
Okay , going to try that
I successfully booted now how to check if drivers are workign
Thankyou very muchh
Now it's time to post the output of
inxi -Faz
With ~~~ before and after the text block
But the ui is still glitching sometimes the whole ui hangs
Wait let me do that
i cant make any more posts
but where is my latte dock <======

Lts is also working
The driver seems correct now.
I don't see the initial part of the inxi with the kernel version.
I don't know the possible reasons for hangs and stuttering.
Maybe check in the Garuda assistant -> btrfs if a btrfs balance is suggested.
You could also give a look at the compositor in the settings to see if there is a notification of an error...
For the latte dock, try to open Garuda assistant, there's a flag Latte and a button to restore default settings
Now that the driver seems to be the right one for your GPU, it could be the right time to try again with the linux-lts kernel to see if the freezes appear also there.
Be patient
