Nvidia 495 "supported"

It’s weird that 470xx works for your 1080 but 495xx does not… :exploding_head:

But, at least this will work for now…

That’s what i can’t understand because i have the same card and mine works no issues what so ever.

the log is from booting on nouveau drivers and show no issues (no real bad ones ) … to see what is going nuts with the latest driver you would need to install the 495 version again and boot into bad black screen and send the log from there or.
Boot on 495… go the curcǘe again and install the 470 ones from TTY2 (login to CLI) … reboot and send the previous boot log
journaslctl -b -1 | eos-sendlog

… to be able to paste the URL here …

that`s a really strange issue surely :wink:

So how do I install the latest drivers again?
Sorry I am a bit tired :sweat_smile:

Would it be helpful if i post the log from my system that has the exact same card running on the 495xx drivers with no issues to compare?

Welcome @Mixel ! :smile:

Tricky problem you have!
Some ideas I didn’t see here yet (but TL;DR):

  • any nvidia related blacklist in *.conf file at /usr/lib/modprobe.d or /etc/modprobe.d ?
  • is there a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf? If so, what is the contents?

Oh, wait - if the nvidia module is present in mkinitcpio.conf and the driver is updated then the initramfs also needs to be regenerated before rebooting. Otherwise, the only driver that will work is the one that matches the module in the initramfs…

But there should be the nvidia-hook package installed?

From what I can see there is no nvidia related file in /usr/lib/modprobe.d and there is no file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf regarding nvidia

Here is a boot log from my system with the exact same card running fine on the 495xx drivers.

Yes I installed nvidia-hook

How about one more try:

sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia-470xx-utils nvidia-470xx-dkms nvidia-470xx-settings
sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-utils
sudo mkinitcpio -P
reboot

I could try either that or send the logs to @joekamprad
but first I have to install the latest driver again which failed rn since some module wasnt found

also Im not using the 470xx driver rn im using the open source nouveau driver

Maybe wise to check package versions as well. Here I have:

pacman -Qs nvidia
local/egl-wayland 1:1.1.9+2+gdaab854-1
    EGLStream-based Wayland external platform
local/libvdpau 1.4-1
    Nvidia VDPAU library

    NVIDIA drivers for linux-lts
local/nvidia-settings 495.44-1
    Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver

Can you do something with this information?
