I was trying to update pacman and ran into this problem: ❯ sudo pacman -Syu :: Synchronising package databases... cachyos-v3 109.5 KiB 20.5 KiB/s 00:05 [------------------------------] 100% cachyos-core-v3 is up to date cachyos-extra-v3 is up to date cachyos …

Yeah, I had a look at this but the advice for the older Pascal architecture is basically ‘if you didn’t touch anything it should work great!’. Unfortunately this isn’t the case for me. One thing someone did was remove ALL nvidia drivers and then initialise the update. This might work but it’s prett…

Something is fishy in your pacman output, before it even gets to the nvidia conflict: warning: clang: local (21.1.6-2) is newer than cachyos-extra-v3 (21.1.6-1.1) warning: llvm: local (21.1.6-2) is newer than extra (21.1.6-1) warning: llvm-libs: local (21.1.6-2) is newer than extra (21.1.6-1) Thos…

Hi both, thank you for the help! Weird… as far as I’m aware I haven’t messed with pacman.conf- the only time I remember doing anything related to drivers at all is when I (briefly) switched to the open drivers and back a couple of months ago. Here is the output of the first command given by @cscs (…

The pacman.conf looks OK, but the second command was not included so we dont know about the mirrorlists which could be related.

Apologies, I interpreted the above comment to mean that both commands did the same thing and you only needed one. Here’s the result of the second command! 6554071 Author: Gunwant Jain, A highly opinionated and minimalistic Pastebin. What exactly are the…

[image] rio-raimundo: What exactly are the mirror lists? What do they tell you? On regular Arch there is just one - but with Cachy there are a few more. They define the servers that will provide you the repo packages. They mostly seem fine except that the Arch one appears quite short. I mi…

I might have had the same issue as you and couldn’t figure it out. So I fixed it by fully reinstalling all packages for nvidia. It’s explained it here: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/how-to-change-nvidia-drivers-from-open-to-proprietary/6402/5?u=dooron

Hi both, I think the reset did it:) First I updated the mirror lists as you said which went fine (and I’m sure is a good thing to have), but I was still getting the same bug. When I tried to remove all linux packages, I had a bunch of other packages (proton, wine, steam) that depended on some of t…
