Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.

The DKMS package guidelines are explicit that linux-headers should not be a dependency of any DKMS package.

As a concrete example of why including that as a hard dependency is a bad idea, what happens when linux is not an installed kernel?

PACKAGE NEEDS LONG TERM MAINTAINER

I have adopted the 390xx packages to keep them secure. I do not run any 390xx hardware so will not notice any breakages and cannot test any changes.

Until such time as someone else steps up to maintain these packages - ideally someone who actually has 390xx hardware - I have to rely on you to tell me what changes are needed.

Don't expect a response if you post only "this doesn't work", and do not email me to complain about the package not working!

A binary package is also available in my kernel-lts unofficial user repository.

Since Vulkan became a thing, It is apparently not possible to start various apps (chromium,firefox ...) without a Vulkan driver. As stated in Wiki, and despite this driver warnings: vulkan-swrast package is requested with nvidia-390

@carneeki: You can skip dependency version checks using the --nodeps option (or short: -d). So the full command would look like this: yay -S nvidia-390xx-dkms nvidia-390xx-utils --nodeps

@forcegk Sorry for the noise, this error is due to packages pulling nvidia-utils (cuda, steam and others). After uninstalling cuda and steam I could upgrade without problem.

@matt42 : You should only be using the nvidia-390xx-utils, so you can safely uninstall nvidia-utils

This package recently got a conflict with nvidia-utils. When I try to update with pacman -Syu, I get this:

:: nvidia-utils and nvidia-390xx-utils are in conflict (nvidia-libgl). Remove nvidia-390xx-utils?

And if I answer yes, it gives other errors:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: removing nvidia-390xx-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-390xx-utils' required by lib32-nvidia-390xx-utils

:: removing nvidia-390xx-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-390xx-utils=390.138' required by nvidia-390xx-dkms

Should I force remove or force install something ?

Thanks.

Thanks!

Experienced the same problem as @zwastik and @warp4ever

I also tried @forcegk's advice with yay and encountered the same issue.

I was able to build+install by modifying the nvidia-390xx-dkms PKGBUILD and removing nvidia-390xx-utils from the depends; the dkms package requires the utils package to be installed and up to date to build which seemed a bit circular.

The upgrade is not working unless first the old version of the driver is uninstalled.
