I get this error when running nvidia-inst

Could anyone help me with this? I can find almost no info on this.

Can you share pacman -Q | grep nvidia

Also, please don’t post screenshots of terminal output. Please copy/paste the result into a code block.

lib32-nvidia-utils 560.35.03-1
nvidia-dkms 560.35.03-18
nvidia-hook 1.5.1-1
nvidia-inst 24.10.2-2
nvidia-settings 560.35.03-1
nvidia-utils 560.35.03-18
opencl-nvidia 560.35.03-18

I get this in the output

You already have the nvidia drivers installed. Why are you running nvidia-inst?

I just ran it to see if there are any updates. If there were any, the error wouldn’t be there?

nvidia-inst isn’t for installing updates.

Once you have the drivers installed, you will get updates with your normal system updates.

If you want to check for updates, you can just update your system with the command yay

Actually you should add option --32 to nvidia-inst if you use 32-bit packages.
But like @dalto said, nvidia-inst is not meant for updating packages.
