New NVIDIA drivers are not available in mhwd after update

I removed nvidia-utils, rebooted, and still same issue. linux510-nvidia are not installed either

Manjaro [Stable Update] 2020-12-30 included new package linux-nvidia replacing linux-510-nvidia-455xx

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/-/snippets/570/raw

                     linux510-nvidia-455xx        455.45.01-1.1                    -

                     linux510-nvidia                   -          455.45.01-8

I suggest you check to see if you got the updated packages

pamac search -r linux510-nvidia

When I try:
mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

the output I get is:

Skipping already installed config ‘video-linux’ for device: 0000:41:00.0 (0300:10de:1e04) Display controller nVidia Corporation TU102 [GeForce RTX 2080]

If I unistall video-linux and I run mhwd again, it just simply installs ‘video-linux’ again, regardless if I had specified ‘nonfree’

Yes, I can see the package linux510-nvidia. I’ve installed it before but I didn’t change anything.

I reinstalled this package again and I am struggling with the same problem. I will give more info about what is installed in my PC:

I installed opencl-nvidia manually.

What if you reinstall mhwd-nvidia ?

Nothing changed :disappointed:

I have also tried to reinstall that package. It didn’t solve anything.

And mhwd-db ?

bash: mhwd-db: command not found

No, I meant, reinstall it: :slight_smile:

sudo pacman -S mhwd-db

I got that warning in the installing process but seems like its fixed. Thank you! :heart_decoration:

Voila. There we have it.

for some reason those files were missing:

warning: could not get file information for var/lib/mhwd/db/pci/graphic_drivers/hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime/MHWDCONFIG
warning: could not get file information for var/lib/mhwd/db/pci/graphic_drivers/hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime/MHWDCONFIG
warning: could not get file information for var/lib/mhwd/db/pci/graphic_drivers/nvidia/MHWDCONFIG

reinstall brought them back.

Thanks man

sudo pacman -S mhwd-db

it solved it for me as well. you are legend my friend.

It would be good to mark this post as solved and pinned somewhere, as other people might have the same issue. This problem happened to me after a fresh install which is uncommon.

I tried reinstalling as per the instructions, but this didn’t fix it on my end! I still only have video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime, video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-390xx-bumblebee, video-nvidia, video-nvidia-390xx, video-linux, video-modesetting, and video-vesa visible. I used to run the 440xx drivers, which now won’t show up!

The 440 drivers have been dropped. You have the latest drivers video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime, the 390 drivers or the nouveau drivers to choose from. If you are being shown the latest drivers then mhwd has detected your card compatible so install those which atm are 455

Thanks, this is really helpful.

So since 455 isn’t showing up at all, does that mean my old M100M card just isn’t supported, probably?

If not, which of the available options do you imagine is best? Probably just the video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime?
