I have a GTX 1080 TI and when I try sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 it just says

I have another workstation with a 1070 TI and a laptop with a nvidia quadro all running manjaro and I am getting the same error across all the systems. the system I am suing right now that I’m trying to get the 1080 TI working was working before and the drivers were installed but I had to sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia because I was getting a black screen on boot. What do I do? I’m not a gamer I use the GPU’s for running blender and AI image generators. what do I do?

You have a EOL (end of life … dead) kernel installed.
(install and boot into a supported one and)
Remove it.

[penguinlover1]

how do I find which one is supported? I am running 6.8 on this computer right now. How do I remove the newest kernel and roll it back to an older one? I tried removing 6.8 and it gave me an error saying I cannot remove the current kernel

[penguinlover1]

here is uname -a

Linux USER-X99 6.8.0-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Feb 26 10:01:49 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux

You want to find out whether you have it installed - and if so: remove it

@penguinlover1

how do I find which one is supported?

At this moment, you don’t want to know which one is supported.

You just want to remove the old, unsupported one.

@cscs - sorry, this ended up as a reply to you (I think), but was meant for @penguinlover1

@penguinlover1

how do I find which one is supported?

The ones available in mhwd-kernel.
Also the wiki, also kernel.org
I also quoted the error where 6.5 is the problem, because 6.5 is EOL and has been for months.

6.8 is an rc, so I dont know why you are using that either.

Heres the wiki.

Manjaro Kernels

PS.
Also if you use the search function … this exact problem, with multiple kernels, but also with 6.5 specifically … has been presented and answered and spoon fed more times than I care to count.

@Nachlese no worries.

Solved! I removed 6.5 in the gui and switched to 6.6 and now the drivers are installing correctly on all the computers and hardware acceleration is working. Thank you!
