Is anyone able to point me in the right direction to solve this issue please?
I installed the nvidia-beta drivers (Arch) and tested out Starfield. All is good. Then next time I try to startx, I get X failed to start etc.
Following the logs I get to:
` [ 1711.739] (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 545.23.06 Sun Oct 15 17:26:55 UTC 2023
…
[ 1711.740] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the
[ 1711.740] (EE) NVIDIA: system’s kernel log for additional error messages and
[ 1711.740] (EE) NVIDIA: consult the NVIDIA README for details.
`
Wierd. Install nvidia instead, y to remove conflicts/nvidia-utils etc, and it’s all working. Try to install beta drivers again, same issue, rebooted, etc.
The beta drivers definitely did work. But now they magically aren’t.
Any tips?
I did try running sudo mkinitcpio -P but no change.
Maybe some sort of DKMS issue? Hard to tell without the “other” side of the logs. Check dmesg, usual syslogs, X, wm logs…etc. I’m not sure I remember seeing that Nvidia had their own logs for the driver on startup, just building.
