[SOLVED] Cannot load nvidia module with modprobe

I get the following error

$modprobe nvidia -vv
modprobe: INFO: custom logging function 0x557fa93ed310 registered
insmod /lib/modules/5.16.0-arch1-1/extramodules/nvidia.ko.xz

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
modprobe: INFO: context 0x557fa988b430 released

dmesg

$dmesg | grep nvidia

The kernel parameters I have are

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet nomodeset pcie_port_pm=off nouveau.blacklist=1 nouveau.modeset=0"

After I set those I ran

mkinitcpio -P

and

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

My machine is a Thinkpad w520 with Nvidia Quadro 1000M.

How do I successfully load the nvidia kernel module?

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot load nvidia module with modprobe

The nvidia driver wants to tell you something but the context is lost in the grep.

Quadro 1000M according to google is a Fermi chip, so you'll need https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … _Search=Go (dkms and utils), not the 495xx series in the repos.
And I guess that's also what the driver message says.

Here is the important part of the dmesg output without grep:

Ok, I will install those packages.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot load nvidia module with modprobe

I installed:

nvidia-390xx-dkms
nvidia-390xx-utils

as pointed out by seth.

Now lsmod shows me the modules are correctly loaded.

Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot load nvidia module with modprobe

You'll need https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx-utils/ not "nvidia-utils" if you want OpenGL and X11 support.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

I did install nvidia-390xx-utils, but mistakingly typed nvidia-utils here.

I have edited my previous reply and marked the thread as solved.

Thanks.
