Mwhd-kernel wont install - error: no targets specified

Trying to install linux513 to test if it solves my audio issue.

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux513

I know I can do this through pacman as well but why am I getting this error with this method? The Wiki says this should be all I need to do but it’s not working.

Googling says I must be running a Manjaro kernel for it to work, which I am:

$ mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 5.11.4-1-rt11-MANJARO (linux511)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux512
   * linux510-rt
   * linux511-rt
   * linux52-rt
   * linux54-rt

I don’t think mhwd-kernel has the experimental/rc kernels.

But the GUI (Manjaro Settings Manager → Kernel) does. So you can install it from there.

Ahh fair enough. I thought because the showed up when listed they must be supported, but maybe it’s actually because they’re installed already.

Can’t claim to understand why it should make a difference to installing a new kernel but apparently it does so I can’t argue with those that understand better than me.

Just tested the latest lqx kernel which I built from AUR just before bed last night. Despite also being based on 5.12 this actually appears to solve my issue whereas 5.12 from Manjaro doesn’t. I’ll give 5.13 a try anyway just so I know if it helps or not though…
