"nvidia-installer-check" says my 1080 is not supported

Do you still get “card not supported” even after updating? I get “Nvidia card not installed” after my update (also after reboot).

22

I’ll check again.

Edit:
Yes you are right so something has gone haywire as this has always worked in the last year no issues.

@manuel
After installing the latest update i also have the same as @akej74

[ricklinux@eos-xfce ~]$ nvidia-installer-check
Nvidia card not found.
[ricklinux@eos-xfce ~]$

I am also going to check another install with a newer GTX 1650 card.

Something looks fishy in the script, I don’t think $vendorinfo is assigned to any value before it’s used in the echo statement…

Main()
{
    local TESTING=no           # set to "no" on release !!!

    local vendorinfo=""        # e.g. nvidia:1234:2345|intel:4321:5432|amd:9876:6789
    local db_dir=/tmp          # /var/lib/pci
    local nvidia_id_file=$db_dir/nvidia.ids
    local nvidia_id_file_390=$db_dir/nvidia-390xx.ids
    local nvidia_info
    local id ids=""
    local ret_ids
    local driver_found=""

    nvidia_info=$(echo "$vendorinfo" | cut -d '|' -f 1 | grep nvidia)

$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/nvidia-installer-check
/usr/bin/nvidia-installer-check está contenido en nvidia-installer-db 2.4.5-1

I personally think it has something to do with the 390xx local driver being added and maybe it’s just picking up that and not the database.

29

There is no option for now, I think, I do not know for sure, for now we have to wait for a solution …

Yes , I’m just comparing for @manuel sake to get to the issue quicker by providing some data from another source.

In arch forums it does not log problems about “nvidia-installer-check”. :thinking:

35

Hi,
package nvidia-installer-db version 2.4.5-1 should fix this bug. Please test that nvidia-installer-check works as expected and report! Thanks in advance! :sweat_smile:

And sorry again about the silly bug, that was an unfortunate and careless oversight by me. :frowning:

Ah, don’t feel bad over a bug, they always happen, it’s unavoidable. It’s enough to get distracted for a second. That’s why there has to be extensive testing, and it’s difficult to do that if you don’t have all the various hardware to test it on. That’s why we’re here to help :slight_smile:

You are doing a great job with this very useful tool!

The following command line tests that your card id should be OK.
But please test the command without the parameter.

  $ nvidia-installer-check nvidia:1b80
