Nvidia module not found

For example if I do screenfetch, it gives an error

 [[ ! ]] modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found in directory /lib/modules/4.7.6-1-ARCH 

 lsmod | grep nvidia 

also gives nothing, I've tried installing them again but it also gives an error

:: nvidia-340xx-utils and nvidia-utils are in conflict. Remove nvidia-utils? [y/N] y
:: nvidia-340xx-utils and libglvnd are in conflict. Remove libglvnd? [y/N] y
:: nvidia-340xx-libgl and nvidia-libgl are in conflict (libgl). Remove nvidia-libgl? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-libglvnd: removing libglvnd breaks dependency 'libglvnd' 

I've had it now for a while and I can't seem to fix it, I've tried googling but nothing quite worked

Re: Nvidia module not found

You probably upgraded your kernel without rebooting.

Re: Nvidia module not found

Also, can't seem to start xorg now either, as it doesnt detect a monitor, so it's hard to include logs

Re: Nvidia module not found

Quoting loqs: "What command was used to produce the third output?"
You're somehow trying to remove lib32-libglvnd, likely because implicitly removing it with some nvidia package (utils?) w/o installing the 340xxx variant.
Raises the question, why you're replacing it.

Re: Nvidia module not found

I don't know, I've had it for a while, so I tried installing some other driver, but apparantly it made it even worse, and I don't know which I should be installing back.

Re: Nvidia module not found

"pacman -S" will get you an error and "those things" is no information.
What's the output of

lspci

?

Re: Nvidia module not found

You need the 340xx version.

Instead of passing nvidia-340xx-utils twce, rather add "lib32-nvidia-340xx-libgl lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils"

Re: Nvidia module not found

doing that gives this error:

Re: Nvidia module not found

You're trying to tell us that there's no question on whether you'd like to remove lib32-nvidia-utils (in favor of lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils) like with every other conflict "error"??

Re: Nvidia module not found

Nope, there's none. That's the entire output of pacman. I did

pacman -S lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils | curl -F c=@-  https://ptpb.pw

and pasted it here

Re: Nvidia module not found

Why do you try to update the package alone?
You need to switch the entire nvidia group.

pacman -Q | grep nvidia

Replace *every* package in that list with the 340xx variant in one single call.
Do not redirect the output anywhere unless you face a problem.

Oh so I remove the package and then install the correct one again?

Re: Nvidia module not found

Just "pacman -S *340xxx* *340xxx* *340xxx*" for every package listed by "pacman -Q | grep nvidia"
You didn't install lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils if there was no way to resolve the conflict ...

I tried but it said there was no way to resolve the conflict on any of those

Re: Nvidia module not found

No. What did it say *exactly*? Log the output of "pacman -Q | grep nvidia" and then what you tried to update and finally what the system responds. Completely.

Re: Nvidia module not found

The correct way to install that the replacement works depends on the order of the arguments, which can be quite the hassle. Just go the easy route and

pacman -Rdd oldNvidiaPackages
pacman -S newNvidiapackages

Re: Nvidia module not found

I got the old packages removed and installed lib32-nvidia-340xx-libgl but still doesn't work, output of pacman -Q is now

lib32-nvidia-340xx-libgl 340.98-1
lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils 340.98-1
nvidia-340xx-utils 340.98-1

Re: Nvidia module not found

NVIDIA

For GeForce 6000/7000 series cards [NV4x and NV6x] from around 2004-2006, install the nvidia-304xx or nvidia-304xx-lts package along with nvidia-304xx-libgl.
