@Bohdanator you need to install both packages at the same time with 'pacman -U'.

I made a patch that builds successfully for those interested to go ahead with it. Reverted to nvidia until @Det merges it, if it's okay.

@bOlaE +1. Same error message while reinstalling nvidia-beta

bOlaE commented on 2018-08-17 04:56 (UTC)

cat: '/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-*-ARCH/version': no such as file or directory I get this error during compilation of the nvidia-beta

mozo commented on 2018-07-17 14:15 (UTC)

Yes I saw it. Excuse me.

Det commented on 2018-07-17 13:56 (UTC)

What 'actual' version? I just told you why I don't update to Vulkans. I even pinned it.

mozo commented on 2018-07-17 13:41 (UTC) (edited on 2018-07-17 14:12 (UTC) by mozo)

Yes, 396.24.10, my fault. Why you don't update this package to the actual version?

Det commented on 2018-07-17 13:33 (UTC)

396.24.10 you probably mean. Not extra/nvidia 396.24-10.

Also, as explained, converting this to a Vulkan package is as simple as changing the source link, pkgver, and building with --skipinteg or 'SKIP' in the md5sums.
