Arch Linux User Repository

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.

Since our maintainer is MIA (I'm trying contact already), I've made some updates myself if someone is interested. I'm using it on daily basis and it seems to be fine. https://github.com/Menelkir/arch-nvidia-470xx

@jonathon: can we help with something ?

@jonathon: Update is now necessary/critical:

@XAVeRY: PKGBUILD patch works here too without issues (GTX 660), thank you.

@XAVeRY: thanks for the patch! works like a charm! (Quadro K3000M)

Can confirm that 470.161.03 builds and works okay with GT 645M. Here's a PKGBUILD diff :

@jonathon New drivers out! https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/linux-solaris-and-freebsd-driver-470-161-03-legacy-for-gkxxx-kepler-gpus/235128 Patches are no more needed: everything has been fixed upstream.

Suggestion: Add a patch that fixes warnings like this:

Nov 16 19:29:34 arch systemd-udevd[290]: nvidia: Process '/usr/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/mknod -Z -m 666 /dev/nvidiactl c $(grep nvidia-frontend /proc/devices | cut -d \  -f 1) 255'' failed with exit code 1.

Those come from nvidia-470xx.rules, and they fail because these nodes were already created. I suggest verifying if they already exist before trying to create them. Patch:

As @Serg12344 mentioned I can confirm that nvidia-470xx-utils 470.141.03-2 is working fine with kernel x86_64 Linux 6.0.8-arch1-1 (GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti)

@SoftExpert Please remove the out-of-date status. Package nvidia-470xx-* 470.141.03 works fine for me with GeForce GTX 780ti graphics card on linux-zen-6.0.6 and linux-zen-6.0.8 kernels and I don't see package version 470.141.10 on NVIDIA official website. Maybe they removed it

The driver version 470.141.10 is not available in Geforce 730,so please cancel to FLAG TO OUTDATE.
