[SOLVED] Problem with nvidia driver install/uninstall

A while ago I installed the 177.70 driver from nvidia's site, then I was trying to install the 177.80 and to remove the .70 first, I tried
sh NVIDIA-filename.177.70.run --uninstall
And the installer told me no nvidia driver was found. I haven't been able to install a newer driver since every time I tried X would give me a driver mismatch error on start-up. I am hesitant to manually remove any files, how would I fully get rid of 177.70 so I can install a newer one??
TIA

See script for the command you should be running:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.11-pkg1.run -a -q -s -N --no-opengl-headers
Assuming you're on 32-bit. To let Nvidia's installer sort out your mess.

[Solved] Problem with Nvidia driver

I recently installed arch on my desktop for the first time, after running arch on my laptop for a few months. The initial install worked fine and I was able to boot normally. However, I then installed a number of packages (including nvidia and nvidia-utils since I have a GTX480) to try and get a graphical desktop up and rebooted. The system started to boot normally, but after ":: Loading keymap...done." the screen went blank, And it stayed that way. It wasn't trying to load X or anything, the screen went blank trying to bring up a commandline. I eventually booted into the installer, and chrooted into my new install and removed nvidia and nvidia-utils. On reboot it worked, so my conclusion is that the nvidia module must be causing the display problems. Any ideas on what is going wrong? I know there is noveau, but I need to use CUDA, so I assume that nvidia is my only option.

Many kernel modules for graphics cards kick in for the console regardless of whether X is involved. This enables native resolution during boot etc.
For example, with intel integrated graphics, I get to a certain point in the boot and the display disappears for a second before returning. Before it disappears, the resolution is much lower than native (640x480? not sure). After it reappears, it is native (1366x768). This happened long before I got around to installing X. I think it is the point when the i915 module is loaded. (It's possible to load it earlier to get native resolution throughout but I haven't done this yet.)
I see the same thing with the nouveau driver on another machine. Once I got nouveau to load at all, it affected the display pre-X.
For many graphics modules this must happen automatically because they're included with the kernel package. As I understand it, installing nvidia involves installing (at least) a kernel module *and* the video drivers for X. So installing it changes things which have nothing to do with X.
Can nvidia load if you pass nomodeset on the kernel command line? If not, you could at least avoid having to uninstall and reinstall. If so, it might enable you to boot even if it does load and, again, at least avoid having to keep reinstalling or chrooting. You might also be able to temporarily blacklist nvidia.

Satellite A660/07U - Problem installing nVidia driver for Win 7 64bit

A660/07U Windows 7 64bit
To begin with, I need to install this driver as apparently it will solve an issue with the current driver that causes the computer to freeze when booting with an external monitor as the primary display.
I have downloaded the driver install file from the Toshiba web site and it is extracting ok but then when I run the program it just exits immediately without actually installing the drivers.
Device manager in windows doesn't seem to help either, because when I point it to the extracted folders it tells me I already have up-to-date drivers, even though my current driver version is a lower number than the downloaded one.
Rebooting has made no difference.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Yes, that is exactly where I got it from and I have tried re-downloading the file but still have had no luck.
I was, however, able to get the driver directly from NVIDIA and it worked fine and has also resolved the issue with the external monitor bootup.
It is still strange that the file provided by Toshiba did not work.

Problem with nvidia driver and GeForce 8800

Hi,
I installed nvidia driver with guide on arch wiki.
But unluckily when i typed "startx", my monitor lost signal and i dont have any other option then restart computer.
This is not for the first time when it happened. I have exactly same problem in every other distribution.
I have GeForce 8800gts and LCD monitor Samsung SyncMaster 204b.
And there isnt problem with hardware because in MS Windows or with VESA driver it works fine.
Here is mine Xorg.conf
http://www.blankpage.ic.cz/xorg.conf
Please, have somebody any ideas how to make it works?

Your not the only one with nividia problems
But on a more serious note, have you tried all configuration steps outlined in the Arch Wiki?

- nouveau: works, but 3d is very slow (on Intel is better)
- nvidia: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please ...

How to configure it? (On Ubuntu works, on Arch not).

Can't install nvidia driver on V580

Hello!
I try install nvidia driver on my V580a (Intel driver is already installed and all work fine) but after I install optimus drivers in device manager (win 7 x64) i see that (standard vga device). Then I try install nvidia drivers for my gt 645 but from nvidia site but he fails.
So how can I installl right driver so my discrete video card woud be recognized in device manager?
And must I install driver for GT 645M or I must install only optimus driver?
Thanks

"dependency cycle detected" warnings when installing nvidia driver

I'm getting two "dependency cycle detected" warnings when installing nvidia driver on a fresh arch system:
xorg-server will be installed before its nvidia-libgl dependency
harfbuzz will be installed before its freetype2 dependency
Is that normal?

It's not 'normal' but if everything is working fine, no need to worry. They're just warnings, not errors.

[solved]display problems after installing nvidia driver

hi
i have nvidia geforce 8400 gs card, after i uninstalled all other drivers, installed nvidia,nvidia-utils, then nvidia-config,then installed vpdau-video,then restart
i noticed that hardware and deamon checks screen after boot became huge letters as if no driver installed yet, and when i run lxterminal i noticed black window on the top left of the screen exactly the same size as the terminal window, and when i browse using chromium and the page contains flash video, the video window image stays on the screen.

I think current nvidia driver is broken - I have these black windows at some rare situations also (under KDE without effects; no under OpenBox). IIRC, nvidia developers mentioned somewhere in Arch bugs system they are aware of the problem.

[Solved] Can't install Nvidia driver: Mesa-libgl conflict

I just finished installing my first GUI, KDE to be exact, on Arch Linux. Right now, I'm using the nouveau driver but I want to unlock the full power of my GTX 780 with proprietary nvidia drivers. On my last attempt at installing KDE, I went directly to installing the nvidia driver 304.24. After rebooting and seeing some text flash on screen, however, I was meant with only a black screen. I could still type, login and reboot but not much more since I couldn't see. I tried booting into the Arch Linux fallback GRUB provided for me with no prevail so I decided to just reinstall the OS. For that reason, I want to install this nvidia driver in hopes of being able to avoid another blank screen. So far, I have this:
[root@arch /]# pacman -S nvidia
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: nvidia-libgl and mesa-libgl are in conflict (libgl). Remove mesa-libgl? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nouveau-dri: requires mesa-libgl
I've tried looking across the forums for similar problems and even tried to uninstall mesa-libgl and all its dependencies but it just yields this:
[root@arch /]# pacman -Rns mesa-libgl
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: cairo: requires libgl
:: glu: requires libgl
:: libva: requires libgl
:: mplayer: requires libgl
:: nouveau-dri: requires mesa-libgl
:: qt4: requires libgl
:: qt5-base: requires libgl
I feel like I might need to uninstall the nouveau driver so as to be able to uninstall mesa-libgl. If I installed the nvidia driver at that point, I fear I might see the blank screen again. Thanks for your help in advance.

You do it wrong.
sudo pacman -Rdd mesa-libgl && sudo pacman -S nvidia
After it, you can decide if you want to reinstall mesa-libgl and remove nvidia-libgl or leave nvidia-libgl and do not install mesa-libgl. I do it all the time during update.

Installed Nvidia Driver Problems?

I recently installed Nvidia Ge-Force 5200FX Driver onto my computer and it changes my video bit from 16-Bit to 4-Bit and i cant change back anyone know how i can change it back without uninstalling the driver.

There is one thing you do not seem to have understood so far: This forum is not a general hardware forum but offers help and advice for MSI Retail products only. You were using an MSI MS-6590 KT6 Delta mainboard in your other thread. That is the only reason why we replied to your questions about an unknown video card model in the first place (even though the lack of a video driver for an unknow card has not much to do with your mainboard.
Now you are asking us about some NVIDIA driver issue regarding the "same type of [non-MSI] graphics card" but in a "different computer". You provided no useful information about your system configuration whatsoever (no information about your operating system, no information about the exact driver version, no information about why you installed an NVIDIA driver even though the unknow video card seems to be an old ATI model, etc.) I see nothing that relates to any MSI Retail product in the context of your driver question. I am locking this topic.
If you find one reason why I should re-open your topic and not advise you to look for help in a general hardware forum (there are tons of those out there on the net) write me a PM and tell me what this has to do with MSI Retail products. I will than gladly unlock this thread. Until then:

SOLVED: Installation of NVidia Driver messes with BASH? (x86-64)

Hello,
I just started using Arch - I migrated here from Gentoo (I failed to compile a working kernel five times!) and the convoluted messiness of Debian (which had serious problems with the proprietary NVIDIA driver). Within three hours after I began installing Arch it booted fine and I got nearly all my devices to work. Yaaay!
I've recently encountered a peculiar problem that occurs after installing GNOME on a 64-bit system. I've re-installed Arch three times, and have seen this problem three times repeated: after all the gnome and gnome-extra packages have been downloaded, unpacked, configured, and installed, BASH no longer recognizes most of the programs that were already installed properly (and were working fine just beforehand);
I get "command not found" for such commands as make, dhcpcd, modprobe, ifconfig, even reboot and shutdown!!!
It may have something to do with a message I noticed somewhere in pacman's output that was something to the extent of "updating bash..."
...Is this a common problem? Or is this user error on my part? When I get home I'll retrieve the config files from my mid-tower's hard drive and post the non-comment parts if that will help diagnose the problem.

problem: SOLVED --
I found an old stage 3 tarball (gentoo) from my USB drive that had ./etc/profile in it. I stuck that in /etc/ and it's working fine In fact, it's got some nice features already written into it, i.e. optionally different default paths for the superuser and normal users.
