when trying to install non-free graphics drivers for my GT650M i get this error →

Error: pacman failed!
Error: script failed!
I try to uninstall conky, cause i dont really need it, but it is then listed s a dependency for manjaro-i3-settings and as far as i understand if i uninstall that i will just nuke my OS. Any tips or ideas ?
This reveals the suspected - you are already in an out-of-date (or worse: partial-upgrade) state.
You need to fix that situation first .
(and we should always be updated/synced before installing new packages)
Just out of cruiocity, you said newer and stable so i checked and it seems 5.15 is newer and stable. Would the reason to go back to 5.10 have any benefits over 5.15 ? PS im at 5.15 now and the nvidia instaltion still gives the same error
error: target not found: linux513-nvidia-390xx
error: target not found: linux513-bbswitch
it worked ! i think ? if i run mhwd -li it outputs

NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-390xx-bumblebee 2021.12.18 false PCI
video-linux 2018.05.04 true PCI
but if i do inxi -G or try to get any info or set settigns for the GPU it doesnt seem to show up or pick it up.
Now it seems to show up ! what does this mean ? What is this magic ?
