Module nvidia-uvm not found on an AMD platform

Although I have an AMD APU, I am getting the following warning at boot up:

Code: [Select]
modprobe: WARNING: Module nvidia-uvm not found in directory /lib/modules/5.18.0-

I think the message is longer than that, but it was truncated somehow.

I looked at dmesg, and there is nothing related to nvidia.

However, I did find some installed packages related to nvidia that I think were installed as a dependency of something else (probably steam and mpv).

Code: [Select]
$ pacman -Qs nvidia               
local/egl-wayland 2:1.1.9+r3+g582b2d3-1
    EGLStream-based Wayland external platform
local/libvdpau 1.5-1
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia-utils 515.43.04-2
    NVIDIA drivers utilities

There's no reason you should need any of those installed if you are not using a nvidia GPU.

sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia-utils nvidia-xutils libvdapau egl-wayland


That should sort you out

Well, I guess steams dependencies are not setup right then. Thanks btw

Steam shouldn't depend on anything nvidia-specific. What might have happened is that steam required some type of graphics driver support for something and you somehow ended up installing a nvidia-specific driver instead of something appropriate for amd like mesa or radv.

Don't use pacman -Rdd unless you know, and are sure of, what you are doing. pacman -Rns is prefered by me.

and in that case you might want to reinstall steam to be careful and select the graphics support that reflects you hardware.
