[2.7.0] Proprietary nvidia not installed when chose nvidia-proprietary

[Xdavius]

Reproductibility :

• Load archiso
• install pip
• pip install --upgrade archinstall --break-system-packages
• archinstall -version (2.7.0)
• setup default install KDE/systemd-boot
• select nvidia-proprietary
• reboot
• No nvidia packages installed on the system (but libvdpau is installed...)

@svartkanin any idea what I missed?

[Torxed]

@Xdavius could you post the log?

[svartkanin]

The log would definitely help as that should show the installed drivers

[Xdavius]

@svartkanin any idea what I missed?

maybe... not friendly with python and trying to test now but, not sur the file i need to change :( I have looked in hardware.py and y see nvidia,nvidiaDKMS

for nvidiaDKMS, headers + dkms need to be installed for each different kernels

like nvidia-lts, the good standand module is nvidia-lts, it need to be selected il kernel lts is selected.

We need both options :

• 1 for standard module : seted correctly by verifying for each kernel selected, installing nvidia[-lts|-rt|-zen]
• 1 for dkms option : selecting the headers for each kernel selected, and installing dkms in all cases, because headers aren't deps for nvidia-dkms, because the numerous headers posibilities.

please, where in can find the log ? I send it to you ASAP

This is the installation https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/blob/master/archinstall/lib/profile/profiles_handler.py#L215

Sorry only on my phone right now so can't dig into this atm

[Xdavius]

found this :

cmd_history.txt : https://termbin.com/4zu7
cmd_outpout.txt : https://termbin.com/3wxk

[Torxed]

No nvidia packages were installed by any command. (verified in cmd_history).
Could you post /var/log/archinstall/install.log as it contains the config too?

[Torxed]

@svartkanin it looks like the graphics part never triggered, all other desktop packages were installed.

@Xdavius see above note, /var/log/archinstall/install.log : )

OK tomorrow now (day is passed here, need to go to work) =)

I've recently tried installing with similar choices and the nvidia proprietary drivers was not installed either, I'll get the logs to post here ASAP.

To complete the driver installation I had to install the nvidia package, configure the modeset with nvidia-drm.modeset=1 and add the modules to early loading as specified in Arch wiki in this link.

Do you have the logs?

Ok so the main issue appears to be that:

"profile_config": {
    "gfx_driver": "Nvidia (proprietary)",
}

Doesn't actually end up in additional packages being installed some how.
nvidia (of any kind) is clearly there, it's simply not translated into pacman/pacstrap.

[svartkanin]

Let me have a look at this today

[svartkanin]

I found the problem, @Torxed your nvidia-dkms PR may have been redundant as we're already installing that package https://github.com/svartkanin/archinstall/blob/f6446323fcc2c972f7b38fdf484771eb4510a2f5/archinstall/lib/profile/profiles_handler.py#L222-L222

I'll prepare a PR
