Hi all.
I recently noticed I can no longer open up steam due to a BadValue error. I believe this is due to mismatched nvidia-utils with lib32-nvidia-utils. Is there any word on when the up to date lib32-nvidia-utils binary will be ready by the package maintainer?
Here is the output from invoking steam from the command line:
steam.sh[2406]: Running Steam on artix rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[2406]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[2481]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
steam.sh[2406]: Steam client's requirements are satisfied

SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
And pacman -Q | grep nvidia yields:
lib32-nvidia-utils 525.85.05-1
nvidia-dkms 525.89.02-2
nvidia-utils 525.89.02-2
Thanks as always for taking a moment to read this post and consider what the solution might be.
As a temporary solution I believe the arch [multilib] repository has it updated, so you can place [multilib] ahead of [lib32] (and [lib32-gremlins] if enabled) in your /etc/pacman.conf.
Assuming default settings (and that you haven't deleted them) you'll have previous versions in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
Downgrade nvidia-dkms & nvidia-utils to match your lib32-nvidia-utils
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia-dkms-525.85.05-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia-utils-525.85.05-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig
Any system updates will want to upgrade them again. There's various ways to handle this but the simplest is just to not update until
sudo pacman -Sys lib32-nvidia-utils
shows
If you really want to update do so and then repeat the downgrades
It will be caught up soon. Normally just waiting a couple of days and updating works fine.
Thank you. I will wait for the upgrade, I don't really need it for anything other than steam and I'm not that hardcore of a gamer. I just wanted to check into the status of the update as I have not seen these updates fall out of sync before. Again, thanks for the input.
It's been updated
