There’s a thread about the depreciation of 340 drivers here

[Nvidia] Deprecation of 340xx driver series

@napcok can you confirm that you upgraded linux54-nvidia-340xx to version 340.108-62 and linux57-nvidia-340xx to 340.108-26 with success ? Because right now I have linux54-nvidia-340xx in version 340.108-60 and linux57-nvidia-340xx in version 340.108-24, and this is the situation where the problem is appearing. Both of them are already 340.108 and I have last upgraded two days ago. Have you already tried to upgrade today ? Are you already in these last versions ? For me, there is a problem in t…

Just reading through it it seems you may need to be on a lts kernel like 5.4

[amirkarimi]

i have 5.4 but mhwd wants to install for 5.8
and want to remove 5.8 from kernels is setting but i get this error =>
linux58

Starting

checking dependencies…

:: removing linux58 breaks dependency ‘linux58’ required by linux-latest

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Done …

[sawdoctor]

You need to uninstall the linux-latest package if you want to uninstall 5.8, the team added it to make sure you get moved to the latest kernel when a kernel becomes EOL. You shouldn’t need to uninstall 5.8 to install 5.4 just install 5.4 and then boot into it from grub

i’m booted with linux54 but when i run
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
i get this =>

moved to #support:Graphic-Cards as this doesn’t look like Manjaro hardware

[Strit]

Yeah. It will install the mhwd drivers for every kernel you have installed, so you have to uninstall linux-latest and then uninstall linux58 from Manjaro Settings Manager, if uninstalling linux-latest did not do it on it’s own. Then reboot and use the mhwd command again.
