[SOLVED] Unable to modprobe NVIDIA despite using the LTS kernel.

Hello! Yesterday I decided to try and install NVIDIA drivers after switching to the OpenRC flavor of Artix less than a week ago, and for some reason I keep getting this error (with both 5.9 and LTS) whenever I run "sudo modprobe nvidia":

Code: [Select]
modprobe: ERROR: Error running install command '/bin/false' for module nvidia: retcode 1
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Invalid argument

Whenever I run "sudo nvidia-settings" I also get this error:

Code: [Select]
ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded

ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system


...and whenever I run "primusrun glxgears" I get this error:

Code: [Select]
primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: Could not load GPU driver

Currently, the kernel I am using is 5.4.72-1-lts but I am still getting the same errors, despite re-installing nvidia-dkms after switching kernels.
If it helps, here is some system info for you guys:

lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D":
Code: [Select]
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Mobile)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 3 GB Max-Q] (rev a1)

pacman -Qqe | grep -i "nvidia":
Code: [Select]
nvidia-dkms
nvidia-settings
nvidia-utils-openrc

I also have bumblebee and primus installed if that helps.

I will gladly post any other command output/system info needed, as I'm sure I'm forgetting something, haha.
Thank you for your support!

Is nvidia blacklisted in your system?

sudo modprobe nvidia overriding blacklist  ;)

Not really. A line like,

Code: [Select]
install nvidia /bin/false

in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf will prevent the module from being loaded at all.

Code: [Select]
sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: Error running install command '/bin/false' for module nvidia: retcode 1
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Invalid argument

Quite possibly actually, as I did try installing (and ended up uninstalling) some GPU switching programs like bbswitch, so there might be some residual files blocking the drivers. Unfortunately I do not have any experience with blacklisting anything, as I am still relatively new to Linux, so I may need some help with that.

Please read and do  https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1923.0.html

Your system is up to date?  Are your 100% sure, that dkms correctly compiled/installed nvidia driver?

Thank you for letting me know about that page haha, also yes my system is fully up to date, I just rechecked now. Here's the output of the commands listed so you guys have a better idea of my system.

in case it's necessary too:
https://pastebin.com/EPfSR51m (for some reason the filters label this one as "potentially offensive", so my paranoid self is just gonna say continue at your own risk I guess??)

Some other (hopefully) relevant system info in case it helps:

- Laptop model: Acer Nitro 5  AN515-54
- NVIDIA drivers are proprietary

Thank you for your patience!

Use LTS kernel.
Nvidia drivers do not work with Linux 5.9 yet.

I am currently using the LTS kernel right now, yet I still keep getting the same errors for some reason.

Quite possibly actually, as I did try installing (and ended up uninstalling) some GPU switching programs like bbswitch, so there might be some residual files blocking the drivers. Unfortunately I do not have any experience with blacklisting anything, as I am still relatively new to Linux, so I may need some help with that.

Check files in /etc/modprobe.d/

Thank you for this!! I finally managed to fix it  :D
There was a linked file in the directory you mentioned that was for an Optimus switcher that I had previously uninstalled, so I removed that link and also went into /lib/modprobe.d, looked in the files in there, and removed any lines in bumblebee.conf that blacklisted NVIDIA, then rebooted into LTS. Everything is working perfectly now! Thank you for your support  :)

Thank you for letting me know about that page haha, also yes my system is fully up to date, I just rechecked now. Here's the output of the commands listed so you guys have a better idea of my system.

in case it's necessary too:

Some other (hopefully) relevant system info in case it helps:

- Laptop model: Acer Nitro 5  AN515-54
- NVIDIA drivers are proprietary

Thank you for your patience!

I am currently using the LTS kernel right now, yet I still keep getting the same errors for some reason.


first time i see, that the guide works... super  ;)  :)
