3 weeks ago - If your kernel is compiled with CONFIG_NOVA_CORE enabled, you may need to prevent the new NVIDIA GPU driver Nova from loading. nvidia-utils adds it to the blacklist by default. You can check this by running systemd-analyze.

July 21, 2024Did a Arch maintainer upload nvidia-utils beta to extra?
It seems like all the packages except extra/nvidia is upgraded to 346.47 while extra/nvidia is still stuck at 346.35
hope they will fix it soon.

r/archlinux on Reddit: libva-nvidia-driver vs. nvidia-utils
May 14, 2025 -
What's the difference between these drivers? I've been using Arch for almost 4 years and just now I learned that you can get hardware acceleration with official drivers using "LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=vdpau" and "VDPAU_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia". I remember seeing something like that on the ArchWiki but I never got it to work :( (just checked and now that line doesn't even exist currently) so I started using ElFarto's custom driver for hardware video playback, however it stutters alot on YouTube's homepage with an RTX 2060 Super (works fine for playing a single video though). So I wanted to ask you guys what's your experience using both those drivers, my main concern is reducing CPU usage as much as possible so I would be grateful if someone could share benchmarks while playing a 4K 60FPS video on Firefox (CPU usage, GPU usage, lost frames, etc.).
EDIT: I cannot test this by myself yet because my NVIDIA system still has Windows 10 and I don't have time to install Arch

You're confusing two separate things together. libva-nvidia-driver is for hardware video acceleration via NVDEC (for H264, HEVC, etc.). nvidia-utils contains the userspace components of the Nvidia driver itself (for OpenGL, Vulkan, etc.) You need both installed. nvidia-utils is absolutely necessary for the Nvidia GPU to even function properly. libva-nvidia-driver will give you the necessary libraries for decoding video.

r/archlinux on Reddit: [nvidia-utils] breaking dependency on latest update
August 14, 2025 -
Any info on the latest nvidia-utils breaking dependency, if trying to update with -Syu? Can't find anything on archlinux.org
Error message in question:
installing nvidia-utils (580.76.05-3) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=575.64.05' required by lib32-nvidia-utils
Edit:
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/580-65-06-gtk-4-apps-hang-when-attempting-to-exit-close/341308/5?u=ptr1337
Seems to be related to GTK, so I think the wise thing for now, would be to add it to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf, and await an official fix, which seems to be under way.
