[request] Nvidia 180.29 driver

Can anyone make/give me a working Nvidia 180.29 package? I tried myself, but it didn't work. I'm currently running on 180.22 driver but I have one problem with them. 180.29 solves this problem (well, I think).
Same problem there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/321224

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I get these errors, but I still have it installed:

missing dependency for lib32-nvidia-utils-beta : lib32-libxext
missing dependency for rtorrent : libtorrent>=0.12.2

@rang you need to remove nvidia and nvidia-utils with pacman -Rd and then install those packages

@haxit seems to me that you didn't install all dependecies or you have remove some packages. reinstall them

I got an error about missing nvidia module. But then I noticed that I'm only installing nvidia-beta-utils . Now I'm trying to install nvidia-beta.
I've one question: when I was trying to install nvidia-utils-beta, with yaourt, it stopped after downloading .run file. I didn't get any error messages. Ctrl+c was required to quit. Is it normal? Also, that .run file had .part at the end ( *.run.part).

Looks like the download failed. Its a good idea to read up on makepkg/pkgbuilds/pacman and stop depending on unreliable install scripts/yaourt.
