Graphics Card Model: nVidia GT 710
OS failed to show login screen after I updated it yesterday.
So I removed the video driver (video-nvidia-440xx) and it booted fine seemingly using a driver called nouveau.
But now I can’t install the proprietary drivers for the graphics card using the button “Auto Install Proprietary Driver”.

How can I install the latest proprietary driver for my graphics card?

Linux 5.8 kernel is already installed and running. I uninstalled a couple of older kernels but these remain…
Installed Kernels:
Linux 5.8.6-1 Running/Installed
Linux 5.4.61_rt37-1 Installed
Linux 5.4.64-1 Installed
I tried to remove the last two kernel but system tells me that can’t happen.
linux54-rt
linux54-rt-headers
Starting
checking dependencies...
:: removing linux54-rt breaks dependency 'linux54-rt' required by linux-rt-lts-manjaro
:: removing linux54-rt-headers breaks dependency 'linux54-rt-headers' required by linux-rt-lts-manjaro-headers

Please read this http://xyproblem.info before providing what you think is sufficient info and doing stuff no one can follow.
those don’t say anything, from where, how, with what syntax?

$ inxi -G
again this is not sufficient it should at least contain System info and more details, so that would be

I removed all the kernels except the latest one, Linux 5.8.6-1, the video drivers installed without issue. Thank you.
