Also, how do I check which packages match with which kernel?

I read arch wiki, there written that I should change .xinitrc or .xprofile, but I tried everything and nothings helped

Your syntax is incorrect, it should be xinput set-prop . https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinput#Set_device_properties

Hi, trying to downgrade nvidia drivers but cant get them to run … currently downgrading packages nvidia nvidia-utils and nvidia-settings (using downgrade AUR) … is there something I am missing ? Do I need to downgrade the kernel as well ?

The Nvidia package offers modules for the matching Linux package

So you have to install them at the same period or use nvidia-dkms

I’m using NVidia proprietary drivers and have nvidia-suspend and nvidia-resume services enabled and sometimes when I suspend I get the kernel panic.
There are some interesting entries from journalctl:
Aug 13 21:09:41 archlinux systemd[1]: Starting NVIDIA system suspend actions…
Aug 13 21:09:41 archlinux suspend[10477]: nvidia-suspend.service

Aug 13 21:09:41 archlinux kernel: #PF: error_code(0x0000) – not-present page

… kernel panic stuff goes here …

Anyone knows what can cause this thing?

It literally says BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, so either the driver does its shenanigans so it makes the kernel call an exception routine, or your linux kernel has been broken for some reason

I’ve disabled nvidia-resume and set up VRAM preservation by adding NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 option to nvidia kernel module and the problem seems gone

Which driver version, which kernel, and which GPU?

MX110 @ 515.65.01

And 5.18.16-arch1-1 kernel

I’ve never heard good things about any MX* series GPUs…

I’d also recommend trying the 510xx driver and the nvidia-vulkan driver to see if they’re more reliable. Some people/GPUs seem to have issues with 515xx.

humm.. are there any instructions somewhere on where to use nvidia dkms ?

also, how do I check which packages match with which kernel ?

Just use dkms, really

ok… are there any good instructions online ?

Nvidia page on Arch wiki

thnx

In short, you install dkms package, then any nvidia-dkms version you need which is compatible with your GPU. Then reboot.
Don’t forget to read these articles 🙂

thanks.. I am going through them now .. if I come across something I can’t understand ill drop a message ! 😉

Is there a tool to manage hundreds of vps at the same time, execute commands in batches, log in using passwords instead of keys

Ansible

Ansible

Super easy and quick to learn

Available on most distros in the repositories

ok thank

Is it possible to log in with a password? instead of the key

Doubt, use keys.

use keys is not a good idea😐

i like passwords

On the contrary, using passwords is a terrible idea

😂 That needs to set a lot of keys

on each vps
