okay so i should remove those other packages, right?

(i’m going to sleep now sorry, it’s late in france lol)

It look like you should. Hey I’m only 1hr behind you in Angleterre. Drink some coffee!

[wordler]

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.

I get the following if trying to remove 440 in System Manager:

Selecting or installing mhwd driver profile blocked by package

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 nvidia-440xx > nvidia-…

GRUB_TIMEOUT=0

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)

@Selecting or installing mhwd driver profile blocked by package Tutorials

So the proper procedure would be:

$ sudo pacman -R linux-latest-nvidia-440xx
$ sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime

I guess I don’t know the driver name:

❯ sudo pacman -R linux-latest-nvidia-440xx
error: target not found: linux-latest-nvidia-440xx
❯ sudo pacman -R linux-nvidia-440xx
error: target not found: linux-nvidia-440xx
❯ sudo pacman -R nvidia-440xx
error: target not found: nvidia-440xx
❯ sudo pacman -R video-nvidia-440xx
error: target not found: video-nvidia-440xx

Working on it…

Ha! Thanks for that…

sudo pacman -R nvidia-450xx-utils

You have the wrong ones … it looks like you want to install 450 … its 440 thats in the way …

sudo pacman -R linux54-nvidia-440xx nvidia-440xx-utils

[wordler]

Remove nvidia-utils. That looks like a bottleneck. All of them.

You may be right:

I’ll try that.

I managed to get on Kernel 5.8.6 while I was at it.

Add linux58-nvidia-440xx and cuda and nvtop to the list …

[wordler]

Good work, now get rid of all the 440 cruft.

[telometto]

Any updates on the issue? I am experiencing the same… it doesn’t seem to want me installing the latest Nvidia drivers. Conflicting packages and all.

Removing all of it mhwd, lib32, utils, opencl and replacing it with the 450 breaks my system. I have to remove it all over again and reinstall the 440. Doesn’t matter which kernel I use (57 or 58).

EDIT: last time I did it lightdm didn’t want to start either.

Yup. Got it, as can be seen from in my previous post. Thanks
