Installing XLibre Manually

Adding the Public Package Signing Key to pacman

First, please download the public OpenPGP signing key xlibre-manjarolinux.asc used to sign the packages and add it to the pacman keyring:

curl -O https://xlibre-manjaro.github.io/xlibre-manjarolinux.asc
sudo pacman-key --add xlibre-manjarolinux.asc
sudo pacman-key --finger D1445F51BC0A8969
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key D1445F51BC0A8969

You can read more about package signing on the pacman/Package signing - ArchWiki page.

Adding the Repository to Pacman

Once you added the public key, also add an entry for the XLibre repository to the end of the file /etc/pacman.conf using sudo and your favorite editor:

[xlibre]
Server = https://xlibre-manjaro.github.io/$arch

Run pacman to update all package indexes and installed packages:

sudo pacman -Syyu

Installing XLibre

Installing XLibre is as easy as installing the xlibre-meta package:

sudo pacman -S xlibre-meta

The included packages will replace any of their installed X.Org counterparts. When asked, just answer with y . To make use of XLibre, log out of your desktop or X session and log in again.

In case you get kicked out of a running desktop or X session while you’re installing XLibre, just re-run pacman after you logged in again and let it install the missing packages:

sudo pacman -S xlibre-meta

When done, install the program xorg-xdpyinfo and filter its output for the vendor tags:

sudo pacman -S xorg-xdpyinfo
xdpyinfo | grep 'vendor'

It says XLibre? Congratulations!

Support for the Legacy Proprietary Nvidia Drivers

Besides support for AMD, Intel, newer Nvidia, and many other drivers, the XLibre Xserver 25.1 series also added support for the legacy proprietary Nvidia drivers v340, v390, and v470. It is enabled in the xlibre-xserver package by default. Please see the NVIDIA - ArchWiki page on how to install and configure the legacy proprietary Nvidia drivers. You can also find more information about the XLibre Nvidia support in the XLibre XServer 25.1 changelog.
