Hallo. Todays update broke my system. I was running kernel 5.8 and it installed 5.9.
On boot i get black screen.
I can get in tty but startx gives error.
Boot from live and chroot update not working
Uninstall grafic driver and install not working
I had the nvidia 455xx driver installed before update but now it doesn’t appear now in available list
Also attempting to install the nonfree drivers gives error.
Sorry for posting picture.
Somebody can help me out please?
Thanks in advance

Please read this first…

It becomes harder and harder to support the older and legacy Nvidia drivers for upcoming kernel series. Starting with 5.9 kernel series, only 450 and 455 are supported by this kernel. Older drivers simply don’t compile anymore. Out of the two, only 455 supports CUDA. If we look at Arch, they already dropped the legacy drivers completely.
We would go back to a rolling driver update, and only offer the latest Nvidia driver. This might bring back the known issues, that some graphic cards …
… and then try the advice given in this post…
I faced the same problem.
Just uninstall nvidia-455xx-utils and install nvidia-utils via Pamac.
After that, install the driver via Manjaro Settings Manager.

Thanks. My problem was the nvidia-455xx-utils conflict.
I removed it with
sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia-455xx-utils
and then i did
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
which worked after uninstallation of utils
Thanks and happy new year
