nvidia drivers won't open

cpu1

so, i installed solus on my main machine. but after installing the drivers that doflicky recommended me, nvidia x server settings refuses to open. it seems to detect my card and everything, but when i run nvidia-settings, it gives me an error.

nvidia-settings

ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

my card is a rtx 2060. if anyone can give help, it would be appreciated.

NVIDIA drivers are kind off finicky on linux. What you could try to do is the following:
sudo eopkg it nvidia-developer-driver-current (if you have the current kernel)
sudo eopkg it nvidia-developer-driver-32bit (if you use steam apps)
sudo eopkg it nvidia-developer-driver-modaliases (honestly don't know what it does, but it fixed some issues I had)

Lastly, could you comment back if the sleep and hibernate function correctly for you? I ask you this, because with me both modes are broken.

Framani You forgot about one package, the -common package. It's needed as well.

sudo eopkg it nvidia-developer-driver-current nvidia-developer-driver-32bit nvidia-developer-driver-common

To go back to regular Nvidia drivers:
sudo eopkg it nvidia-glx-driver-current nvidia-glx-driver-32bit nvidia-glx-driver-common

As to hibernation, how big is your Swap partition? For hibernation / sleep to function correctly (I don't use it personally) your Swap partition should be as big in size as your RAM. If your Swap partition is too small, these functions won't work properly.

My swap partition is big enough (20gb for 16gb RAM) and I can attest that both sleep and hibernate used to work problem-free with previous nvidia binaries (440.100). I had heard about the issues of using "the green side" with linux but never had I imagined that it would be this bs, hahaha

update: after some investigation, i realized that the drivers did not have a xorg.conf, so i had to run sudo nvidia-xconfig to make one. after that, it let me run the settings with no problems.
