GeForce GT710 driver issues

Support Graphics & Display
1

Hello,

I’m new to the forum and I’ve been running Manjaro KDE for several months without problems until this large (672) update arrived.

When I applied it, a warning advised:

“Installing Nvidia-utils(460-80-1) breaks dependency Nvidia-utils=455.45.01 required. Add linux59-nvidia to remove”

I couldn’t understand this warning as my knowledge of Linux is very basic.

So I ignored I ignored applied the update.

After restart I could only run Windows 10 (HDD ) from the boot loader, and when Manjaro (SSD) was started the screen was black and frozen.

I wiped the SSD and reinstalled Manjaro from live USB. When the update notice returned it also mentioned that my running kernel was unsupported.

I searched the update list and found Nvidia-utils(460-80-1). I removed it from the update and proceeded. Everything now appeared to be OK on restart.

However a notification indicated that I needed to install Nvidia-utils(460-80-1), which I’d purposely omitted and it appears that it is required by Rawtherapee.

I have concluded that my GeForce GT710 is useless for Manjaro because Nvidia-utils(460-80-1) has no drivers for it.

I am prepared to get a new capable graphics card to continue using Manjaro and I’d be grateful for your suggestions , if any.

Your card is supported, but kernel 5.9 support ran out almost half a year ago.

Welcome to the forum.

Please use proper formatting ( </> button) when inserting terminal output in your posts.

With all due respect - you should not be using the testing branch if understanding the messages and taking appropriate actions are above your knowledge level.

Remove that old kernel (it’s long EOL and not supported anymore) and switch to a supported one.

Thank for your response.
I have tried to install several kernels. but the the installation process fails every time and drops back to the EOL.
I thought it was necessary to install the new kernel first before removing the EOL
Should I do the reverse and remove the EOL first? I never thought of that

I apologise for posting in the testing branch. It won’t happen again…

can you boot on USB iso manjaro ( live )
open a terminal & browser on this topic

sudo manjaro-chroot -a 
mhwd-kernel -li 
mhwd -li
ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/*.preset
ls /bin/modules/
exit
6

We need exact details of the failure you experience when installing / uninstalling kernels.
And also pls post the output of pacman -Ss linux[4-5] |grep installed

7

How did you try to install the kernels?
Indeed, the graphical tool in Manjaro Settings, Kernels might not give back a detailed report on what failed.
Hence, please try to install the kernel packages from command line:

sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S linux512
sudo pacman -S linux512-headers

Please post any error messages that might occur after issuing these commands.

As for your graphics card, it looks like it will be supported by driver version 418: NVIDIA DRIVERS Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver (click “Supported Products”)

There are instructions on how to compile these drivers for Manjaro by yourself: [Support/How-To] Compile old/legacy Nvidia Proprietary Drivers [2020-12-30 Update Issue]

But let’s see if you can get a more recent kernel installed first.

The text of the first command warned “nvidia-utils (460-80-1)
breaks dependency nvidia -utils (455.45.01)”
The second command had no warning and it installed Kernel linux512 OK
I checked Manjaro Services in GUI and it showed "Linux512 Installed* but not runniong.
Kernel Linux519 was still installed and still running.
Then I reopened Konsole again and ran the third command to completion. This wiped out the Grub menu on restart.
I ran the Windows boot manager from Bios - wiped the SSD - initialed it to GPT.and reinstalled Mangaro again.
So I am back where I started last week running Linux519.
BTW my graphics card is actually GeForce GT710 - not GeForce 710M. so it wouldn’t be supported by the drivers you mentioned
My thanks to yourself and others who have tried to help with this issue.
I have switched kernels on my Lenovo Thinkpad without any problem.
I will get a capable graphics card for this PC ASAP.

Please download latest ISO when you install Manjaro, this will save everyone lot of time troubleshooting and fixing issues because you use an outdated ISO.

Current ISO provide LTS kernel 5.10

Thank you omano,
But that link to OSDN.net returns an error - quote “That resource is not found”

11

Try
https://sourceforge.net/projects/manjarolinux/files/

12

What are you talking about? What link to OSDN? Manjaro is hosted at CDN77 for a good amount of time now. There is no link to OSDN.

Ho I see, instead of clicking the big red button saying GET XFCE/KDE/GNOME, you clicked the small link saying “get outdated image archive”…

PRO TIP: click the BIG RED BUTTON to download the ISO.

13

Thank you for your perseverance,

I now have Linux510 installed and running
nvidia-utils (460.80-1) was ready installed also and only 2 updates were notified
I stupidly never thought to update the installation ISO. I was using Nibia the whole time.
My apologies to yourself and the other responders.

14

A user can click show details when installing or removing kernels in Manjaro Settings Manager to view system messages whilst the system installs the required packages and updates GRUB

I have nVidia GK208B [GeForce GT 730] with linux512-nvidia v465.31-2 from stable-staging branch and all is well. An nVidia Kepler GPU does not need a legacy driver

15

Are you sure it is OK to use this branch? This branch is supposed to be used only during announced test phase before updates are pushed to Stable branch, I think this branch doesn’t receive update on a regular basis as the other branches. You should stay on Stable branch.
