You need to tell people what your hardware is.

“inxi -G” will tell what graphics card information you have. “inxi -F” will tell about your entire system.

can’t include output from ini x- G says can’t include links

I couldn’t copy and paste runing Manjaro live usb and the real problem is grphic aps killing manjaro which is why I am trying to load 340xx driver whic I see is depricated–what now?

@Dean

error: target not found: linux58-nvidia-340xx

Ouch, I forgot to disable 340xx as linux58 doesn’t support it anymore. You may want to download the LTS ISO with kernel 5.4.

[Dean]

??? How do I do that

[philm]

You may use the old 20.0 ISOs from here. linux57 kernel was the last one supporting that hardware. We forgot to properly deactivate that driver on our 20.1 ISOs …

[Dean]

This is a quote from the Readme

Do not use an archived ISO for installation.

IMPORTANT
Installation using an archived ISO may succeed but impossible to update due to ABI changes.

Does this mean that I have to chuck my video card to use Manjaro

[philm]

You can always use the FOSS drivers, which still support your card kinda.

[Dean]

“kinda” Is that the driver that gets loaded by default in 20.1? I really like what I see with Manjaro KDE but the frequent freezes are unacceptable. I am not certain that the problem I am experiencing is driver related but I don’t know how to prove it. Apparently I can’t fix the problem by updating my hardware based on your blog about nvidia proprietary drivers. Is Manjaro alone in the linux world with this problem?

[Dean]

This is what I get when I run vlc from terminal

If I try to advance the time line or almost anything else it crashes Manjaro and takes Manjaro with it.
