Hi, I am a newbie linux user. I am using cachyos since february. Today i cannot update my system because I am getting this error:

I downgraded my nvidia drivers because I couldn’t play some games with 595(Pragmata and Crimson Desert).

Right now I cannot run cachyos update. I need help.

Wait a few hours and try again, seems like your mirror isn’t fully synced yet.

I also get the exact same bug, as I need to use the closed 580 driver so that I can disable GSP firmware (so that my 3070 nvidia card doesn’t crash on hybrid graphics).

I found this page on the Arch forums that seems to solve it but I fear it’s a bit too complicated for me and cannot understand it exactly.

From my limited understanding, the way to fix it would be to uninstall the 580 utils package, then
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nvidia-580xx-utils.git
cd nvidia-580xx-utils 580.159.04-1
makepkg -si

The upgrade them all together with -
pacman -U nvidia-580xx-dkms… nvidia-580xx-utils… (although using the exact package names here)

Anybody with a better understanding, would greatly appreciate if that was correct or if perhaps I’m missing something, could you let us know?

Edit - anybody reading this, please ignore all of this and do not try any of this, especially if you are a beginner like me. It was simply the mirrors weren’t fully synced like Alexey mentioned.

Let me try in couple of hours then.

I tried the similar thing. Only thing I managed is breaking my graphics drivers even more. Totally cooked my pc. Thank god restoring to a snapshot is easy.

Actually, try it now. I just reran paru -Syu and it worked!

Yeah, it actually worked. What a weird thing.
