hello
i’m still on 5.9.16-1
i just installed the latest update and dealt with uninstalling the old 455xx nvidia packages,got the new ones and installed the non-free nvidia driver.
the installation seemed to have gone smooth,but i haven’t tried running on the nvidia GPU yet.
now i’m on a laptop(intel/nvidia)and saw in a topic that @philm said that:
" linux510 doesn’t support nvidia-prime . You may want to use linux54 or linux59 ."
does that mean that if i was to update the Kernel to 5.10,i would have to use the nouveau driver and loose the ability to use the proprietery driver?
my card is a 1050.
i have a question,
as i said;the OS update with kernel 5.9 and after removing old NVIDIA packages and installing the new ones, everything works fine for me,
but it seems I’ll probably have to get the 5.10 kernel;
-do i need to do something with the current NVIDIA packages i have?(uninstall,)or does the update takes care of it?
i mean right now i have
linux59-nvidia 455.45.01-6
and the new one is linux510-nvidia 455.45.01-8
sorry,but i don’t fully understand.
as you can see,i have the same nvidia packages as @XRaTiX after his update to 5.10 kernel,appart from the
linux510-nvidia
when i browse pamac, i see there is a
linux510-nvidia 455.45.01-**10**.0
so should i first update to the 5.10 kernel and then remove the linux59-nvidia and install the linux510-nividia,or should i do it before hand?
or maybe remove all the NVIDIA packages and then after the 5.10 kernel update reinstall them all again?(and this time with linux510-nividia),
or does the kernel update does it automatically?or do you suggest updating to 510 kernel and then run sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 ?
Update to 5.10 kernel with the Manjaro Settings Manager,then reboot and change to that kernel,it does all the packages automatically.
When everything is working with the new kernel you can remove the 5.9 kernel,all the packages from 5.9 is gonna be removed.
When you are in kernel 5.10 you can install the new driver with the GUI or with sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 and thats it,I did this in this order.
The only problem I had is that there was a conflict installing the new driver because there was a nvidia-455xx-utils package,I remove that package in pamac manually and then i was able to install the new driver then I reboot,I don’t know if that has been resolved already.
the kernel upgrade seems to have went well so far.
in hardware configuration, video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime is installed on proprietary and in nvidia xserver settings it says i’m running the 455.45.01 driver
i changed with optimus-managet-qt to nvidia and it works,but i have quit poor performance with it on regular browsing on which I’ll post in another thread(mostly screen tearing).
