installing driver Nvidia problems

Hi I have successfully installed arch but when I try to install the driver for my video card I get lost  the driver is the 173.14.37 for my geforce 6150 I have already used this driver so I know is the right one
But when I try to install it I get this error
"Skipping the run level check (the utility run level failed to run)."
And the installations fails so when I run the run level says unknown ....
I don't really know what to do sorry for the bad English

Re: installing driver Nvidia problems

How are you trying to install it. Are you using AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-173xx/ ? (I don't think so, since you say you're using 173.14.37 and not 173.14.39).

Re: installing driver Nvidia problems

Please read the wiki page on using the AUR.

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC...

I would very strongly recommend not to install programs / packages that lay outside the Official Repos and the AUR. All packages should be installed through pacman with the relevant formats. If you would like to know more information about Nvidia and installing the Nvidia drivers you can look here. Failing to use pacman for installing anything could result in bugs / breakages / etc...

This is not Debian.
You should have a look at the basics of Arch Linux.
