Hi. I installed the Nvidia driver 2 weeks ago and it was working. After a while, I uninstalled it for some reason but now I get these errors:
nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

After search I saw some solutions to install from nvidia site but I got this error:
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to
build the target kernel, or if another driver, such as nouveau, is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA device(s), or no NVIDIA device installed in this system is supported by
this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release.
Please see the log entries 'Kernel module load error' and 'Kernel messages' at the end of the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for more information.

Have you followed all 6 steps outlined on the nvidia wiki page? Are you running the correct kernel?

Yeah, I followed Wiki step by step. Sorry, I'm new what do you mean by "correct kernel"?
This is uname -a output
Linux 6.7.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and ls /boot
EFI initramfs-linux-lts.img
grub intel-ucode.img
initramfs-linux-fallback.img vmlinuz-linux
initramfs-linux.img vmlinuz-linux-lts
initramfs-linux-lts-fallback.img

That's the wrong kernel, you only installed nvidia for LTS and you are not booting the LTS kernel. (and even if it wasn't, then your kernel would be out of date, update your system, install the nvidia package if you want to use it with the linux kernel)
Also please post command outputs wiith [ code ] rather than [ quote ] tags.

Thanks for the tips. I forgot [ code ] tags. I have a bad internet connection I will update the system and say the results.
Can I ask a question? How did you realize that it is out of date?

You can edit the subject line in your first post and prepend [SOLVED] or so.
As for the question on how I knew, both the pacman output and the uname -r showed that you didn't have the nvidia package and your kernel was at 6.7.9 while 6.8.1 would've been current. Generally speaking even with a bad internet connection, do not pick and match singular pieces, you always need to update your entire system. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … nsupported
