Hello all.
Yesterday I had this problem that I could not for the life of mine get optimus-manager working on kernel 5.10, while it worked fine on kernel 5.9. I checked the installations of optimus-manager as thoroughly as I could, but no errors were found. I was on testing branch then.
So I reinstalled Manjaro KDE this morning, following these steps
- First boot after reinstall on kernel 5.9xx, I installed optimus-manager, configured
sddm.conf, enabled optimus withsystemctl enable optimus-manager.serviceput in my password and rebooted, I was able to switch between intel and Nvidia. - I changed from stable branch to testing, downloaded every update and rebooted, still on kernel 5.9xx. Switched to Nvidia using optimus-manager, which was no problem
- Installed kernel 5.10xx and rebooted, checked if I was running kernel 5.10 (which I am/was depending on when you read this), tried to change to Nvidia using optimus-manager, and got this error

I should note that I found mention of similar problem in unstable notification, where rebuilding kernel 5.10 seemed to be the answer.
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
