Install nvidia driver on Arch Linux

Install and configure nvidia driver on Arch Linux

Find the right driver

To install your driver you should read the wiki, my solution may not work for you.
NVIDIA - ArchWiki

To see what graphics card you have:

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

Output

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]
	Subsystem: Lenovo Device 39fe
	Kernel driver in use: i915
--
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: Lenovo Device 39fe
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

Wish driver you need:

CodeNames
This is what i have:
NV137 (GP107) GeForce GTX (1050, 1050 Ti)
I’m above NV110 so I install the nvidia drinver and not the nvidia-lts one.

sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-prime nvidia-settings

I use prime-run for the moment to use my GPU only when I need, but I will try NVIDIA Optimus.
D’ont create a conf file for Xorg, the conf is inplemented in the driver.

Configure mkinitcpio

The doc:
Early KMS start
DRM_Kernel_mode_setting
In the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Replace MODULES=() by MODULES=(i915 nvidia).

Tests

Enable ssh:
sudo systemctl enable sshd
First thing to do is reboot:
It can work now but if it’s broken after the rebbot it’s useless.

Download glxinfo from AUR:
prime-run glxinfo
If you have an output without errror it’s good.
The nvidia setting:

nvidia-setting

You should download nvtop via pacman:

sudo pacman -S nvtop

And run nvtop to see the consumption.
