I wish I could have gotten a screen scrape. Some error happened during software update after fresh install of CachyOS on new AMD 6-core. The really befuddling thing is I don’t even see 580 listed in package installer. As a result of this Einstein (sp?) will not work under BOINC and only one monitor …

Lets check first: pacman -Q | grep -e linux -e nvidia archlinux-keyring 20251012-1 lib32-nvidia-utils 580.95.05-2 lib32-opencl-nvidia 580.95.05-2 libva-nvidia-driver 0.0.14-1.1 linux-api-headers 1:6.16-2 linux-cachyos 6.17.4-4 linux-cachyos-headers 6.17.4-4 linux-cachyos-lts 6.12.53-2 linux-cachyo…

Per your request. ❯ pacman -Q | grep -e linux -e nvidia archlinux-keyring 20251012-1 lib32-nvidia-utils 580.95.05-2 lib32-opencl-nvidia 580.95.05-2 libva-nvidia-driver 0.0.14-1.1 linux 6.17.5.arch1-1 linux-api-headers 1:6.16-2 linux-cachyos 6.17.4-4 linux-cachyos-headers 6.17.4-4 linux-cachyos-lts …

Well, that didn’t go so good, but it identified an issue. ❯ paru -S linux-cachyos-nvidia-open [sudo] password for roland: warning: linux-cachyos-nvidia-open-6.17.4-4 is up to date -- reinstalling resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... Package (1) O…

After reboot still only one monitor. [still-only-one-monitor] While there are issues building that driver, I think I need to pursue a firmware update with the card vendor. When I booted Ubuntu 24.04 and a few other “live” thumb drives, they all only found one monitor. All three ports do work, one…

[image] seasoned_geek: Do the new “open” drivers allow BOINC to use CUDA? This is un-tested by me, But CUDA can work with the NVIDIA open-source driver (nvidia-open) on Arch Linux. The nvidia-open driver provides the kernel components of the GPU stack, while the userspace components, includi…

[image] anon15508052: This warning occurs because the consolefont hook is enabled in the mkinitcpio configuration but no specific font is set in the configuration file. Nothing to worry about. :wink: One monitor suggests a hardware or as you pointed out firmware issue. (Cable, or Port) Well,…

MSI support ticket CSD#1268245 of anyone wishes to follow along.

Hi, seems CachyOS dropped closed Nvidia Drivers Support when the dkms not sucessfuly builds after a Kernel Upgrade. You can check this by execucuting pacman -U nvidia-dkms-xyz in a Terminal. The exact Packaga Names you find with “ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg” - there should be located 3 Packages: nvi…

Just to round it out, this wasn’t a driver problem. You can read about the saga here . Admittedly 580 didn’t work with Cachy when I tired this, but the problems were: I bought a video card that didn’t have only Display Port on it just because it was on sale. Video cables only work in one direction.…

Do kernel updates correlate with wayland functioning (window behavior)?
