No no, i only installed lib32-nvidia-utils before it borked, now via chroot ing into the system i did nvidia-dkms and it worked, im in EoS now…
I rebooted many times after and it worked… why bork now…

Neat thanks, will write that down in my notebook.

Drivers are installed correctly.
Edit: It show that it’s using the 510.54 current driver and that the GTX 1070 is doing the rendering.
I am confused though how installing nvidia drivers fixed this, i installed lib32-nvidia-utils like half a dozen reboots ago, but only after half a dozen reboots after it decided to bork ? Though… my pamac didn’t show up until many restarts later either… installed, rebooted, nothing, installed 3x in a row(it installed like it never was there one after another lol), rebooted, nothing, then a day later… it’s there… O,O what !?
Cosmic rays man D:…
Did you have the nvidia drivers installed before that because it looked to me as thought it was running nouveau?
Nope, i booted the live usb image, went away for a minute, proceeded to install EoS, only several sessions later i installed lib32-nvidia-utils.
Edit: i didn’t pick nvidia at boot.
Why would you install lib32-nvidia-utils if you don’t have the drivers installed? These are the 32 bit files. Correct me if I’m wrong @jonathon?
Didn’t read the aur description D:, just sudo pacman -Ss nvidia, saw that and installed it, woops D:… Im guessing it serves no purpose for me, so i should remove it.
That’s a different package - that one is the pre-compiled NVIDIA driver module for the linux kernel.
This will have brought in nvidia-utils as a dependency, and nvidia-utils blacklists nouveau. Hence the problem: no driver for the GPU.
Installing nvidia-dkms “fixed” the problem because it brought in the nvidia driver that was used in place of the backlisted nouveau.
