Support Graphics & Display

Hi. I have recently moved from Mint to Manjaro. I keep receiving a fail message upon trying to install the new nvidia driver and switching from nouveau.

This is the full version:

when running -Qqs nvidia I get:

mhwd-nvidia-430xx

mhwd-nvidia-450xx
xf86-video-nouveau

Please help if you can. Have a nice day.

The error is clear, there is no “linux56-nvidia-450xx” package in the repo (there is only an linux56-rt-nvidia-450xx)

First make sure you have the latest (5.8) or a LTS (5.4) kernel installed, because 5.6 doesn’t exist anymore.
Then install the video driver.

All from System Settings menu.

Apparently you installed Manjaro 20.03 with kernel 5.6. That kernel is EOL along with 5.7. Try 5.4 LTS or 5.8.

Also make sure your system is up to date:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

before add others kernels

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux54
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux58

reboot , press Esc to get Grub ,
and in advanced select other kernel version

if ok , you can remove linux56

sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux56

after you can change drivers videos
