Nvidia 495 "supported"

@Mixel
Maybe you should revert to nouveau first then see if it will install the current drivers.

sudo nvidia-installer-dkms -n

I installed nouveau now and these are the current drivers still 470xx

[mixel@mixel-ms7a33 ~]$ pacman -Q | grep nvidia
lib32-opencl-nvidia-470xx 470.82.00-2
nvidia-470xx-dkms 470.82.00-2
nvidia-470xx-utils 470.82.00-2
nvidia-installer-db 2.5.1-2
nvidia-installer-dkms 3.3.11-1
opencl-nvidia-470xx 470.82.00-2

What happens now if you try an update?

Still same things :confused:

At this point im really out of ideas what i could even try

[mixel@mixel-ms7a33 ~]$ sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils

:: removing nvidia-470xx-utils breaks dependency ‘nvidia-470xx-utils=470.82.00’ required by nvidia-470xx-dkms

I think you have to clear the nvidia drivers out. Then you’ll be able to install the updated drivers.

Edit: These ones are installed from the AUR and you don’t want those anyway.

Yeah but I/we tried to replace them which doesnt work
And if I uninstall them my whole system wont work anymore (I think)
So whats the solution to this?

nvidia-installer-db and nvidia-installer-dkms are in the endeavouros repo so i think those can stay.

If you are running on nouveau open source drivers them removing then it should be no problem.
What does this how now

inxi -Ga

thats good to know :smiley:
Also the logs:

[mixel@mixel-ms7a33 ~]$ inxi -Ga

No it still shows running on nvidia. Did you run the command again?

yes I did what should’ve changed?

If it was running on nouveau then it would say driver nouveau but it say’s nvidia. So it’s still running on nvidia.

Maybe it has something to do with my reboot
every time I want to reboot it always takes really long and after a while it says “Watchdog is still running” (I think) and then instantly restards

Also I tried to install the nouveau driver again im just gonna shut down and then restart but I doubt Its gonna change something

Now it says that I am on nouveau :slight_smile:

Okay try removing these drivers

sudo pacman -R nvidia-470xx-dkms nvidia-470xx-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia-470xx

Worked!

No it still say’s nvidia? Strange?

ohh
well I cant read apperantly…

but I mean my system is still running somehow even tho the drivers should be uninstalled

Now try updating.

Both yay and pacman says that there is nothing to update
Should I install them individually?
