libva Nvidia Conflict

Hello, I'm new to Linux and I want to start Ricing.
I was installing Hyperland and I got an error saying that Libva-Nvidia is in conflict, and this left me with the following question.
How can I solve this problem?

==> Finished making: libva-nvidia-driver-git 0.0.14.r3.g677f480-1 (Sun 06 Jul 2025 03:17:19 PM -03)

Re: libva Nvidia Conflict

Hi, i am not to experienced, but from what i know. The problem you are facing is happening because you need to choose between one of those two packages to install. The libva-nvidia-driver-git version is the latest developed version while the  libva-nvidia-driver is a stable version for the distro. Are you installing the -git version from AUR? Anyway, to solve the problem, you can do not install the libva-nvidia-driver-git package and just use libva-nvidia-driver. Or you can install libva-nvidia-driver-git  (Pressing Y + Enter when pacman asks). It is not a error really, just choose one.
Sorry for my bad english, i am a newbie so maibe i got something wrong.
And of course, Welcome To The Arch Forums! Hope you like it!

Re: libva Nvidia Conflict

I solved the error by completely removing libva and all related files, after which Hyprland

the following commands solved the issue.
Thank You very much for the help.

$ sudo pacman -Rns libva-nvidia-driver
$ ./set-hypr
