PSA: Beware of cuda 13 for Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta users...

https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html
Major release of cuda 13 landed in Artix repositories right now. If you accidentally upgrade the package, this will cause your Maxwell, Pascal and Volta gpu to not work with cuda related workloads. Make sure you lock the package in /etc/pacman.conf:
Code: [Select]
IgnorePkg = cuda cuda-tools
You can still downgrade through: pacman -Udd cuda-12.9.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst cuda-tools-12.9.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst just download those packages locally from archives:
https://archive2.artixlinux.org/packages/c/cuda/cuda-12.9.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
https://archive2.artixlinux.org/packages/c/cuda-tools/cuda-tools-12.9.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
As of now there's cuda-12.5 in aur, but I feel like it'll take some time until the BUILDPKG will be stable enough to use that...
