[SOLVED] Update to nvidia-utils and nvidia-open-dkms 610.43.02-2

Hi, yesterdays updates to the above have resulted in a low resolution, and loss of my second monitor display. I was about to downgrade the packages, and then decided to look here before messing around with dkms packages.  I don't see any other reports of problems, and that makes me wonder if this is more complex than I am considering.

Regards.

Edit:

$ nvidia-settings

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded

I have no issue and nvidia-settings works, maybe the install did not complete?

Re: [SOLVED] Update to nvidia-utils and nvidia-open-dkms 610.43.02-2

Can you check

simon@silex ~> dkms status
nvidia/610.43.02, 7.0.10-zen1-1-zen, x86_64: installed
tuxedo-drivers/4.22.2, 7.0.10-zen1-1-zen, x86_64: installed (Original modules exist)

and the current kernel matches

simon@silex ~> uname -r
7.0.10-zen1-1-zen

and finally

[simon@silex ~]$ pacman -Ss linux-headers | grep installed
extra/linux-zen-headers 7.0.10.zen1-1 [installed]

Re: [SOLVED] Update to nvidia-utils and nvidia-open-dkms 610.43.02-2

Ah, what is meant by "added" not "installed"?

 ian@Study:~ $ dkms status
nvidia/610.43.02: added
vboxhost/7.2.8_OSE, 7.0.10-arch1-1, x86_64: installed
ian@Study:~ $ uname -r
7.0.10-arch1-1
ian@Study:~ $ pacman -Ss linux-headers | grep installed
core/linux-headers 7.0.10.arch1-1 [installed] 

Thanks for the replies btw.

The kernels match but added means it has not been built.
Can you try

sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 610.43.02 -k 7.0.10-arch1-1

Then

dkms status

To see if it worked, if yes then a reboot should make it work.

Brilliant, that sorted it.  I wonder why it didn't build during the original update (I didn't see any error messages).  Anyhow, thank you very much for your help and diagnosis, SImon.
