What is your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist? Also, don't follow videos and other instructions -- those can become out of date very fast. Follow the Arch Wiki. Namely: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_guide

Then you should pose your question to the maker of that video. Or at least tell us what video so we can see just how horribly mislead you have been. I'd suggest starting over and rather than trying to cut corners for a 'quick and easy' go for slow and steady (and successful) by following the beginner's guide.

Don't post screenshots of text; paste the actual text.

And read the Forum Etiquette and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … s_and_Code

My exact error when trying to install nvidia is warning daabase file for multilib testing does not exist error target not found lib32 nvidia libgl
Error target not found lib32 nvidia utils
But i think it has to do with pacman.conf as i enabled multilib for 32bit program support but i just disabled that then did pacman -Syyu and tried to install nvidia but same error also when i did that command it saud error failed to udate multilib testing no servers configured for repository

Really.

The comments and questions you've posted in this thread make it clear that you don't have the slightest idea what you are doing - and with archlinux, that is a dangerous thing. I gather you now have [testing] enabled. If you are new to arch, have [testing] enabled, and aren't following the relevant mailing lists, then will far more likely than not break your system within a relatively short time. Frankly I don't really care if you do - but then you'll post here with some obscure symptoms and it will not be at all clear what the source of the problem was - and you'll end up wasting more time of community members here because you refused to invest any of your own time in actually reading the documentation to understand what you are doing.

So really, start over, from scratch. Do the installation correctly.

Arch Linux
