Aside: is there a new inxi thread for bookmarking and linking to our inxi?
I get the following errors when trying to update via Pamac:
conflicting dependencies:
nvidia-450xx-utils and nvidia-440xx-utils are in conflict
could not satisfy dependencies:
unable to satisfy dependency ‘nvidia-440xx-utils=440.100’ required by linux54-nvidia-440xx
I see 450xx in System Settings Hardware Configuration but, it’s not installed. I’m on 440xx.
I tried uninstalling it with sudo pacman -R nvidia-450xx-utils but, error: target not found: nvidia-450xx-utils and I tried installing nvidia-440xx-utils again too but, I get the same no target found.
How about installing a newer kernel, perhaps the latest 5.8. After that try installing nvidia-450 stuff and if pacman shows a conflict then unistall nvidia 440 and all it’s related things? I don’t use nvidia but from what I’ve heard 440 is getting replaced. Sorry to not be more accurate but I use AMD and Intel Graphics on my machines. It might be worth using the Search function on the forum: nvidia 440 450 or something like that.
I did find this but, it didn’t seem to be working for me:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/unable-to-satisfy-dependency-nvidia-driver-install/22864/2 - starting over a new forum means I can’t include links yet
But now that you mention it, maybe I need to be on 5.7 or 5.8 to use 450xx. I installed both but, I’ll need to figure out how to switch to one or the other, as it’s not doing it automatically. I can google that one too.
Kernel 5.7 is at EOL (end of line, won’t be supported for much longer), you can uninstall that. If you reboot, having installed 5.8 you should find you are running 5.8 instead of your older kernel. I reckon it’s always worth having an older LTS kernel installed though as a fallback option.
Apart from that try the nvidia solution I mentioned. I’m not totally sure about that because I don’t use nvidia but I think it’s worth checking out.
It seems I have the same issue so I wont create a new topic, but it looks like this:
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace xapps with community/xapp? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: nvidia-450xx-utils and nvidia-418xx-utils are in conflict (nvidia-libgl). Remove nvidia-418xx-utils? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'nvidia-418xx-utils=418.113' required by linux419-nvidia-418xx
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'nvidia-418xx-utils=418.113' required by linux54-nvidia-418xx
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'nvidia-418xx-utils=418.113' required by linux57-nvidia-418xx
:: removing nvidia-418xx-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-418xx-utils' required by lib32-nvidia-418xx-utils
So if you find a solution to your problem dont forget to tell me, please
As I understand it has to do with the kernel but i’m not sure how exactly? If someone has some noob-friendly documentation to help it would be really cool
Ouch! Thanks for posting that output, it looks messy! There’s something about nvidia-418 and it’s lib32 that seems to be the problem. Can you remove nvidia-418-utils and lib32-nvidia-418-utils and then install nvidia -450-utils? I am a bit out of my depth here. If it was me I would do a backup before doing this. However the output in a terminal may reveal some answers.

It looks like all the 440 stuff should go. sudo -Rsn is the command to remove an item and all of it’s dependencies that are not required by any other applications. I’m not sure. Running that command might leave you without a graphics driver.
Have you looked at your Manjaro Settings Manager (in your menu). That could shed some light. and it allows you to swap things around, not just the kernels, scroll down for hardware.

That will make things difficult.
(btw regular grub without changes should already work with the Shift or Esc thing … no need to change to menu… but you probably need more than 0 seconds of grub)
