[Solved] Install Nvidia package after Nvidia-340xx

jiros · 2017-10-28 13:06:58

Hi guys
I had an old card that's why I had installed nvidia340xx and nvidia340xx-utils + lib32s.
and now, I got a newer card and need to install Nvidia instead of Nvidia340xx and the promblem persists on :

sohrab@Arch-PC ~]$ sudo pacman -S nvidia
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: nvidia and nvidia-340xx are in conflict. Remove nvidia-340xx? [y/N] y
:: nvidia-utils and nvidia-340xx-utils are in conflict. Remove nvidia-340xx-utils? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils: removing nvidia-340xx-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-340xx-utils'

What should I do ?
Any idea ?

Thanks for answer.

Try adding lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils to the 2nd command as well. Didn't see you had the 32bit crap in there.

Might have to remove steam and deps first. Haven't experienced this situation in a long time. Sorry.

jiros · 2017-10-28 13:33:13

Thanks anyway.
Any other idea ?

Xabre · 2017-10-28 13:42:09

pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils

Pass them all together, not one by one (they are all intertwined with dependancies), pacman will ask you if you want to replace 340xx packages with those

You have something that depends on lib32-nvidia340xx-utils, run pacman -Qi lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils and look for Requred by to see what it is.

Please edit your suggested command in your reply maybe someone else want to use that and copy\paste that. you've written """lib32-nvidia340xx-utils""" instead of lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils

Seems that there might be a slight conflict with lib32-libgl, lib32-nvidia-utils is supposed to provide it, but it's not installed yet.

Try this.

 pacman -Rdd lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils

which will ignore dependancy checks

then right after run

pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils

Open a bug report against lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils, it should conflict with lib32-nvidia-utils (like lib32-nvidia-304xx-utils does). If the conflict was declared, pacman would prompt you to replace lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils with lib32-nvidia-utils. Until this oversight is fixed, Xabre's solution is the best workaround.

jiros · 2017-10-28 14:40:18

May you do that please WorMzy?
I don't know how!
