NVidia GT 1030 driver not found? [SOLVED]

I installed a new NVIDIA GT 1030.
Looking at the installation guide I figured it is included in the nvidia driver ( I do not use the driver from NVIDA but Arche's).
After installing I run inxi -G and I get:

Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] driver: i915 v: kernel
  Device-2: NVIDIA GP108 [GeForce GT 1030] driver: N/A

As it is evident, the drivers for Nvida are not there.
Is there something else I need to do at this time?

BTW I also installed nvidia-utils.

Thanks

NOTE: I use ibt=off in the boot loader but does not seem to help.

Re: NVidia GT 1030 driver not found? [SOLVED]

UPDATE:
If I remove the nvidia drivers then I get the following report:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]
	DeviceName: Onboard - Video
	Subsystem: Dell Device 0871
--
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP108 [GeForce GT 1030] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 85f5
	Kernel driver in use: nouveau

and inxi -G says:

Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] driver: i915 v: kernel
  Device-2: NVIDIA GP108 [GeForce GT 1030] driver: nouveau v: kernel
  Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.4 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.3 driver: X:
    loaded: modesetting dri: iris,nouveau gpu: i915,nouveau resolution: 1: N/A
    2: 1920x1080~60Hz
  OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa
    22.2.1

So ... it looks like it is using the kernel version nouveau ... yet in my video card I get no output.
I cannot figure out what the issue is.

Appreciate any help.

Re: NVidia GT 1030 driver not found? [SOLVED]

Now if I use the default nvidia driver from the repos I get:

lsmod | grep nvidia

Produces no output.

Produces no output the the HDMI port.

I've always used nvidia in the past but I do not remember it being so convoluted to install hmm

BTW inxi -G shows that the driver is not loaded:

  Device-1: Intel CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] driver: i915 v: kernel
  Device-2: NVIDIA GP108 [GeForce GT 1030] driver: N/A

That kernel and module don't match. You're doing partial updates.

Re: NVidia GT 1030 driver not found? [SOLVED]

@Scimmia

Sorry ... I do not follow.
I've installed from the repos. how is it the kernel and modules do not match. I do not understand.

Can you elaborate?

Thanks

NOTE: I'm running, of course, the latest linux kernel.

Re: NVidia GT 1030 driver not found? [SOLVED]

You're NOT running the latest kernel. You updated the package databases then installed the nvidia package, but it's for a newer kernel than you've got because you didn't update the entire system.
