my kernal version is :

$uname -r
4.12.12-1-ARCH

Notice: i changed the kernel to LTS and installed headers and re-installed dkms nvidia drivers but the same thing.

what is that error and what is the solution.

Re: Kernal error message

This error is completely normal and harmless. The only thing it "negatively" affects is that your tty terminals are low resolution. If you really want to try and fix this a potential solution is outlined in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … resolution

Mod note: Not a kernel issue, moving to NC
