Noob Manjaro refugee here; my gpu:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti] (rev a1)
Apparently is no longer supported with nvidia-driver 590 (no visuals on reboot). Using ‘downgrade’ I chose to stay on nvidia 580 → works great. Now I need to upgrade other things, but they ‘depend’ on upgrading nvidia-utils to 590, so I ignore and:
% sudo pacman -Syyu --ignore nvidia-utils
....
:: There are 13 providers available for lib32-vulkan-driver:

Enter a number (default=1):

So I want to force nvidia-580, but now other libs which are deps. of other apps complain. Also, I’m trying to learn how to handle these issues by myself, so feel free to give more info/provide sources that I can learn from.
- What is the general approach to this, besides asking on a forum? (sorry to waste your time)
- Is there a way to edit deps/package installation scripts to avoid this (looking to learn more about using package managers correctly to avoid issues) or is that a fruitless endeavour?(os)
- How do I actually fix this?
Thanks, xo
