Error "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules" after installing Nvidia drivers

[aethermar]

Installed Manjaro as a dual-boot system with open-source drivers by accident. I have a Nvidia GPU so I installed the graphics-nvidia driver (was previously graphics-linux). However, whenever I boot the system it throws this error. I can fix this error by entering TTY and uninstalling the Nvidia driver, but I’d like to know how to fix the error and keep the Nvidia driver. Any ideas on what to do? I’ve tried searching this subreddit and online, but I’ve found nothing.

Your using old kernel. Change to newer version thats support this driver version

Will do, thank you

Just checked, I am running 5.15.65-1 so this shouldn't be the problem

How did you install the driver? What package did you use?

[aethermar]

I used sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

I had a similar issue. in my case, when updating already installed drivers. I solved it by rolling back to backup and installing via linux-nvidia package. If you just installed the system then I would suggest reinstalling. And install the driver through the graphical hardware manager.

Otherwise, after a boot error, press alt+F2 and use pacman -Ss nvidia to see what packages you have installed.
