For the beginners in need of assistance, first take a look at this recommended guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide - maybe it helps to solve the issues your are having with this version of the driver.

@ArchBoxHero take the git url from above, clone it to /tmp and view its git log. Jonathon will have some email in his authored commits. No need to publish it here in plain-text.

@jonathon Sure but I appreciate the time you take on managing packages. And I would like to show my gratitude. But your email is hidden? Help me out here.

@jonathon Problem solved. Since the Nvidia driver is now updating from AUR, Nvidia pacman hook didn't work, so initramfs didn't get updated. Sorry for the inconvenience, my bad :)

@Conusoid, open a thread on the forum with the log files.

@ArchBoxHero, that's not necessary, but, if you want to, send me an email.

Updated about 12 hours ago to the 470.86-2 and got: (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the system's kernel log for additional error messages and consult the NVIDIA README for details. (EE) No devices detected. (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) no screens found(EE) Had to roll back to the 470.82.00-1

THANK YOU!!!! I have an older GeForce GT 710 and I use this system daily. I just needed to say thanks for packaging this. I haven't any issues building/installing but I did have to install linux-headers for the reasons mentioned by @tsage. I'd donate to you/buy you lunch if there was a link you can throw my way.

I just hit a segfault on nvidia stuff after updating my system this morning. Will look into it.

@Universebenzene Thanks for the info about the different types of headers. I did read the ArchWiki. The Nvidia page said to install this package for my card and that’s it. And I did focus on the output, that’s how I figured out I needed linux-headers.

Universebenzene commented on 2021-11-03 07:40 (UTC)

@tsage linux-headers is already an optional dependency of dkms, and it shouldn't be a hard dependency. Because linux-headers is only for the linux kernel, not for other kernels like linux-lts or custom kernels. Those users who use custom kernels do not need linux-headers. All you need to do is read the ArchWiki or focus on the output after installing as you use dkms packages.

When I run makepkg -sic, it builds successfully but it ends with the message "Unable to install module nvidia/470.82.00 for kernel *: Missing kernel headers". Installing the linux-headers package fixed the issue. I think the linux-headers package should be added as a dependency.
