Unable to install drivers?

Hello, I am new to Garuda Linux, and I cannot understand why this happens when auto installing the proprietary drivers.

So far, I have :

  1. Live booted with opensource drivers, in GRUB2 mode, and installed Garuda
  2. Done a Garuda update and rebooted

hello and welcome :wink:

can you post please your garuda-inxi. Open the Terminal and type it in and copy paste in here as Preformatted text field </> sign or use 3 tiles ~ above and under it. :wink:

You mean as such?
