i have found a way to install nvidia
in this forum some where but i forgot to book mark
but i have commands in my history
i am using a nvidia 1660 ti mobile (optimus laptop with intel integrated gpu and 1660ti mobile) i ran into similar issues but installed finally
OBS studio is also working with NVENC
to update

IMPORTANT:: update all packages before doing and reboot
without updating all packages and kernels
-------------------------> you cant install nvidia - 450 without updating the existing packages
–>update packages before doing this

NOTE : remove the current drivers using MHWD command line and install

1. sudo mhwd -i pci video-modesetting (or your driver name)
2. sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime (or your driver name)
3. sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime (or your driver name )
4. reboot

thats it
it worked for me

When i follow your Guide i get the following answers to the commands:

sudo mhwd -i pci video-modesetting (or your driver name)

Want to post your customization video in the appropriate section instead of hocking your wares in someones help request thread? Thanks

@dstyle

50 is on stable! Finally!

That’s nice but your post didn’t need to be made at all.

[sherlock_33]

have you updated the packages before this?

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR DRIVER NAME IS CORRECT BEFORE UNINSTALLING
I WROTE THE COMMAND FOR A OPTIMUS(INTEL+NVIDIA GPU)
IF YOU HAVE ONLY GPU LIKE A PC or some other model
YOU CAN SEE FOR YOUR SELF
THE COMMAND I WROTE IS FOR OPTIMUS LAPTOP

sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime (or your driver name)
Error: config 'video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime' is not installed!

THEN YOU SHOULD NOT INSTALL PRIME DRIVERS
1)GO TO HARDWARE CONFIG (GUI APP)
2)VERIFY THE NAME OF THE DRIVER AND TYPE IT CORRECTLY
REPLACE "video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime " WITH YOUR DRIVER

THAT IS :: sudo mhwd -r pci [YOUR DRIVER NAME WITH NVIDIA-440]
--------->this removes the existing drivers

3)TO INSTALL nvidia-450
you can use the gui tool “hardware configuration” in application list
or use the command i specified before

i think if you wait for some time the auto install proprietary from the app will get fixed
i faced the issue as to press y to install and i cant so i done it manually

[robinfliva]

Saw my Failure
Thanks for your Help.

@steiner

I’m having a similar issue, where if I go to the hardware settings and try to install it from there all I get is this, which I cannot interact with to proceed.

If I try to sudo “mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300” or “mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime” I get the same prompt, which I can interact with but does basically nothing, just gives me the “it’s done” look

Yeah, I got the same issue.

@sherlock_33

NOTE : remove the current drivers using MHWD command line and install

1. sudo mhwd -i pci video-modesetting (or your driver name)
2. sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime (or your driver name)
3. sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime (or your driver name )
4. reboot

Uninstalling video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime returned some additional dependency errors: nvtop and linux-latest-nvidia-440xx, so I had to remove them first to proceed. Eventually it worked.

Now the only step left is to reboot to test it.

EDIT: All works after reboot. I could switch to hybrid mode and dGPU is working with Steam as it should.

Selecting or installing mhwd driver profile blocked by package

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ If you are attempting to change driver selection through Manjaro Settings Manager or mhwd and you receive a message similar to error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: removing XXXXX breaks dependency 'xxxxx' required by nnnnn Error: pacman failed! Error: script failed! then there are 2 things to keep in mind. It is usually easier to install a new profile than attempting to remove one first. (especially if is a related upgrade, such as nvi…

[michaldybczak]

The issue here was that the GUI for mhwd was not returning anything and even

sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime

didn’t do anything. It just asked Y/n and then was done without doing anything. The solution was to install dependencies, uninstall conflicting packages and then remove and then finally install, but that way shows the script failed flat out until perfect conditions were met.

So basically, without installing video-modesetting, there was no output that could help with anything. Only after we got video-modesetting, we got the usual dependency errors, which are finally helpful.
So it looks the script needs to be improved.

[cscs]

I know. That is covered in that as well.

@cscs

If you experience a bug where mhwd hangs or fails after a message similar to
Dependencies to install: video-modesetting
Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
Then check for and install the profile dependency through mhwd. Example:
$ sudo mhwd -i pci video-modesetting
