NVIDIA GM108M [GeForce MX130] driver issue

General system Newbie

hello guys im new here… (sorry for bad english)

i have an issue with nvidiadriver and im not smart enough to figured it out myself.
I encountered the following problem when installing Endeavour OS using the GRUB option:

$ nvidia-inst

After installation, I checked if the driver was installed correctly, but it was not available:

$ inxi -G

$spci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620]


$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Additionally, I encountered this problem when I tried to install Endeavour OS using systemd during boot:

pcieport 0000:02:00.0: can't change power state from D3cold to D0

I tried using Bumblebee and Optimus Manager. I also disabled power management on boot and added some kernel parameters to see if that would resolve the issue, but the problem persists.

I don’t know what I’m doing, so I just copied and pasted the error messages into ChatGPT and followed every step. I’ve tried multiple times and messed up the system several times before writing this thread.

I had this problem before with Linux Lite as well, but it works fine with Windows, so I guess the GPU is not defective.

Please show the output of:

lspci -vnn | grep -P 'VGA|Display|3D'
lsmod | grep nvidia
pacman -Qs nvidia

Just to check, did you reboot after running nvidia-inst?

Also, try envycontrol if optimus manager fails.

Yes, I rebooted the system after installing the driver using the nvidia-inst CLI

$ lspci -vnn | grep -P 'VGA|Display|3D'
lsmod | grep nvidia
pacman -Qs nvidia

lsmod | grep nvidia

The nvidia module is not loaded for some reason.

One more output is needed:

pacman -Qs headers linux
