Nvidia settings isn't opening

Hi guys I have installed Nvidia drivers nvidia , nvidia-utlis , nvidia-libgl , nvidia-prime , nvidia-settings

But while opening Nvidia settings it doesn't open ,  when I tried to open it via command line , it gave me an error saying

ERROR: Unable to find display on any available system

How to fix this ?

Re: Nvidia settings isn't opening

if you actually intend to use nvidia-prime you need to run things you expect to use nvidia with with

prime-run $application

and this won't work on wayland so if you do actually have a GPU to use prime-run with you need to start gnome on xorg.

Also please read and follow my last reply in your previous thread.

Re: Nvidia settings isn't opening

And I posted a suggestion for what to do, what did you do with these what are the outputs (in [ code ] [ /code ] tags) when following these suggestions?

Which instructions did you follow to install Arch?
