Ran into a error today that I've never seen before running an update.

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

How I fixed it

Code: Select all

sudo rm -r /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103
sudo rm -r /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104
sudo rm -r /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106
sudo rm -r /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107

Than ran another update

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -Syu

Had to reset a few display settings to get it back to normal but all is well now.
