When did you last update? The versions of those two packages should be the exact same.
Please remove the linux54-nvidia-418xx, nvidia-418xx-utils, and lib32-nvidia-418xx-utils packages, then restore the /lib/modules/extramodules-5.4-MANJARO/version file to say 5.4.101-1-MANJARO. And then update, potentially switch to a different mirror if the versions don’t match after upgrading. After that you should reboot.
Thanks a lot @pobrn .
I installed linux54 few months back and linux54-headers today. I guess that is causing the mismatch.
I will try your recommendation now.
Did you find a fix for the GT740M? I have the same card and the same issue. I already have my Windows 10 Pro handy to reinstall that as my graphics chip worked well there.
Even as a seasoned geek, I now have medical reasons why I can’t compile anything any more. Things need to work out of the box, really.
The issue now I have it upon reboot, the GPU is not detected automatically. Everytime, I have to run sudo modprobe nvidia and then only use optirun or even nvidia-smi. But this is a manageable issue for me.
Thanks for that! I use my old Macbook5.1 with its real shitty Nvidia GeForce 9400M with Manjaro KDE and Kernel 5.10.26-1 and with Nouveau drivers the display freezes with every slight graphical stress like opening a more then one window at once…
With nvidia using this patched method it works flawlessly since a few month…
Only issue I have is: software manager always shows me (regardless of me pushing “ignore that update”) to update the nvidia-340xx-dkms from 340.108.1 to 340.108.18. But when updating KBuild fails with this:
Applying patch 0004-kernel-5.10.patch…
patching file kernel/nv-drm.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 364 (offset 42 lines).
Applying patch 0005-kernel-5.11.patch…

Breche ab…
I don’t get why it tries to patch for kernel 5.11 (if I get it correctly). Of course I installed the 5.10 headers and also tried to install the 5.4 and 5.11 kernel with headers but to no avail…
Any ideas?!
Besides getting right of the annoying update message, updating if there is an update seems like a good idea right?
Is there any plan to support newer driver versions than 450?
I tried 460 and 465, but both are asking me for Gitlab credentials (I created my Gitlab account by connecting Github, so I got no clue what my username/password would be, my Github credentials won’t work).
