What do I do if “mhwd -li” shows “video-nvidia”? Is says the version was from last September, but I just updated yesterday and my graphics drivers don’t seem to be working any more.
To install 575xx driver and additional packages for all installed kernels:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-575xx
Is there a recovery guide for the nVidia 590 blank screen issue

“Error: config ‘video-nvidia-575xx’ conflicts with config(s): video-nvidia” is what I get from that.
sudo pacman -Rns video-nvidia
There may be one or two more you have to remove manually.
“error: target not found: video-nvidia”
I’m confused.
Sorry, I misread that. (I thought it was a pacman error.)
The Manjaro driver is conflicting?
List what you have installed:
mhwd -li
Remove the one(s) you want with:
sudo mhwd -r ...
I think you need to remove the package linux618-nvidia, probably the the one you mentioned as well.
I honestly can’t remember what I did. But there were 2 or 3 obvious packages I had to manually remove. Removed one, find the next one to remove, that kind of thing.
(For my Ampere gen Nvidia GPU, aka RTX 3080)
The mods usually frown upon screenshots..
```Just type 3 backticks

Yes. Remove that first:
sudo pacman -Rns linux-nvidia-meta
and then retry the mhwd command.
(and oops - sorry for intruding into the conversation @Molski . Just going through my unread Latest Topics after a good night’s rest, and I didn’t notice how recent the posts in this topic were).
I apologize for the phone picture; only reason I used it is that I am not using desktop Firefox in this state. I have successfully removed the packages and am now installing video-nvidia-575xx. Will keep you posted on how it goes; it seems it’s taking a few minutes running all the builds.
Addendum: it’s done. Do I just restart my computer now?
Add. II: Just finished restarting! It worked! I have a functioning desktop again! I’m snapshotting and backing up immediately! Thank you all!
Rebooting will apply the newly installed driver, yes.
Just make sure you know how to get to a terminal window(alt+right-arrow or alt+ f keys) in case there’s an issue and the driver fails to open the GUI.
That way you can reinstall the previously working open driver.
