Do you know how to update the system? I tried
Blend system-update & pacman -Syu both didn’t work !

sudo pacman -Syu

Asterisk•5/19/23, 10:24 AM

You have to have the sudo

Sorry

SniperKWOP•5/19/23, 3:53 PM

I did see someone in discord say the package repo is down might be the reason ?

Huh

xawesomecorex•5/30/23, 1:17 PM

from what I gather there is a conflict between nvidia's drivers and mesa

xawesomecorex•5/30/23, 1:18 PM

I have an idea, have installer ask if the user wants to install open sourced or proprietary nvidia drivers

xawesomecorex•5/30/23, 1:18 PM

because those two don't like each other

xawesomecorex•5/30/23, 1:22 PM

also, nvidia's x server is basically empty and non functional

xawesomecorex•5/30/23, 1:22 PM

I like this os but these are things that are kind of frustrating

xawesomecorex•5/30/23, 1:37 PM

sorry

xawesomecorex•5/30/23, 1:38 PM

I was dumb and forgot to run -Syy

xawesomecorex•5/30/23, 1:38 PM

it installed now

Asterisk•5/30/23, 2:52 PM

Did you enable multilib

xawesomecorex•6/2/23, 10:12 AM

yes, and I installed the drivers and they were still incomplete. It's not entirely your fault. Nvidia is infamous for shitty linux support. what I would do is look into how Garuda and/or Manjaro does it.

xawesomecorex•6/2/23, 10:13 AM

I'm going read up on that too because I don't know how they got it running as smooth (it's still leaves a lot to be desired) as they did

Asterisk•6/2/23, 10:30 AM

Manjaro does it with old packages that break the system

Asterisk•6/2/23, 10:30 AM

Technically everybody just uses Nvidia-dkms

Asterisk•6/2/23, 10:30 AM

And that works

Asterisk•6/2/23, 10:30 AM

For arch based distros

xawesomecorex•6/4/23, 10:29 AM

that's what I thought. That's exactly what I installed. However, nvidia-xconfig didn't have any of the expected features. I couldn't change the resolution, or open-gl settings, set cool-bits. in both the gui and in terminal.

xawesomecorex•6/4/23, 10:29 AM

makes sense that the way manjaro does is by using broken packages.

xawesomecorex•6/4/23, 10:29 AM

sounds like them
