[SOLVED!] Can't install nvidia-390xx-dkms

Hi! long story short, whenever I try to install nvidia 390-dkms with: 

 yay -S nvidia-390xx-dkms

It asks me if I want to remove the conflicting nvidia-utils: 

 :: nvidia-390xx-utils and nvidia-utils are in conflict (nvidia-libgl). Remove nvidia-utils? [y/N]

Which I respond to with y; resulting in the response below: 

 error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing nvidia-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=510.54' required by nvidia
 -> exit status 1

should I exit the x-server and/or dm to uninstall the default nvidia package, then install the drivers via tty?
also, this is the whole output of the command:

$ yay -S nvidia-390xx-dkms

Re: [SOLVED!] Can't install nvidia-390xx-dkms

Step 1 in troubleshooting: ditch the AUR helper and do it with makepkg and pacman. You may have to manually remove the nvidia package.

I'll try that.

Note that I've installed the nvidia and nvidia-utils packages from the official arch linux repositories, using pacman:

pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils

during the installation; should I uninstall these two?

Re: [SOLVED!] Can't install nvidia-390xx-dkms

If, for some reason, it doesn't work out.

remove nvidia and nvidia-utils packages from the official arch linux repositories.

Insure that you have Dkms installed from the official repos.

No, it doesn't.


You need to update both the nvidia-390xx-dkms and nvidia-390xx-utils in the same transaction.
Build them both using makepkg and then install them using pacman at the same time.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: [SOLVED!] Can't install nvidia-390xx-dkms

Thanks, now I can get past the conflict. but although I have dkms installed, I got these errors in the process of installing the driver, and though it's successfully installed, I think I have to do something about this.

I have a timeshift snapshot ready in case of emergency.
Edit: I rebooted and booted to the system successfully, but nvidia-smi is still unable to communicate with the driver.

$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Re: [SOLVED!] Can't install nvidia-390xx-dkms

So it turns out linux-headers was not installed, thus I installed it via:

sudo pacman -S linux-headers

Then I reinstalled the nvidia-390xx-utils with:

makepkg -si

And there was no error this time. I'm going to restart the system and report the results ASAP.

Edit: Great. It got worse now. nvidia-smi responds with:

but I can't open any openGL based program, and I'm experiencing visual artifacts. My GPU is Nvidia Geforce 820M (the fermi one) and It should support nvidia 390.147 drivers, yet It seems to not.
It seems there is a serious problem here.

Edit 2: Here is my dmesg

Re: [SOLVED!] Can't install nvidia-390xx-dkms

UPDATE: Turns out my laptop is a NVIDIA Optimus one, I'm going to check If I can use PRIME render offload or optimus-manager
Edit: I have to use optimus manager since PRIME offload is not supported by 390xx drivers

Re: [SOLVED!] Can't install nvidia-390xx-dkms

OK. so I installed the nvidia-390xx-utils alongside nvidia-settings and I faced this in the Terminal:

ERROR: Error querying enabled displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension).


ERROR: Error querying connected displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension).


ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file should have been installed
       along with this driver at /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The
       application profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be prepopulated or validated, and
       will not be listed in the help text. Please see the README for possible values and
       descriptions.

It also warns me that I "Appear not to be running the NVIDIA X server" apparently, but when I run nvidia-xconfig and restart sddm, arch basically freezes on startup.

Re: [SOLVED!] Can't install nvidia-390xx-dkms

I finally solved it!
So I just installed optimus manager, and switched to nvidia; now there is no tearing nor any openGL issues! Thanks for your help!
