Just a heads up, Nvidia 535.54.03-1 broke my system (beehaw.org)

Rarely something breaks my system (other than me messing with it), but this update was one of them. At first I thought it was the kernel upgrade that also came by today, but downgrading this pkg to 530 ~ made X and gdm work again

Mkinitcpio -P didnt work?

[–] shadowintheday@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Nope, I tried mkinitcpio -P and bootctl in arch-croot with a live usb, reinstalling kernels, installing normal linux kernel instead of zen, only downgrading nvidia worked

Had a maybe similar issue with steam and nvidia. Enabling multilib-testing and updateing lib32-nvidia-utils fixed it for me

My first linux fix find on Lemmy rather than Reddit. Keep it up!

I have been using the Frogging-Family Nvidia PKGBUILD for ages now. Easiest way I have seen to stay on the latest versions of the proprietary drivers with the least amount of headaches.

I was able to boot just fine with 535, but Steam couldn't launch because lib32-nvidia-utils didn't make it out of multilib-testing yet. Temporarily enabling it and installing that package seemed to fix things for me. I'd check if that's related to your issue.

I'm still waiting for the nvidia-beta-dkms package to be updated in the AUR, but I was checking to see if nvidia had left extra-staging earlier today, guess that happened right after I checked.
