Screen Flickers after Uninstalling nvidia-450xx

[garvitjoshi9]

Today Got an Update for nvidia-450.xx-utils=450.80.02, but it was showing conflicts,
so I uninstalled it using

sudo pacman -R linux58-nvidia-450xx  

and after restarting My screen flickers.
If I try to run:

sudo pacman -S linux58-nvidia-450xx  

It Shows:

warning: cannot resolve "nvidia-450xx-utils=450.80.02", a dependency of "linux58-nvidia-450xx"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      linux58-nvidia-450xx

Sorry for this trouble. I am New to Linux
I am Using Nvidia GTX 1650 Mobile

Users are experiencing some problems with those dependencies. I think we need just to wait a bit. I saw a post with a workaround to install the dependency right away, but it’s not worth the effort.

CAN'T UPDATE: Conflict between nvidia-450xx-utils and nvidia-440xx-utils

UPDATE - FIXED! I removed the cuda package and everything updated normally! HOWEVER - If I want to reinstall cuda the issue with the different nvidia-utils remains. So the issue is solved for updating the system, but in order to reinstall the cuda package you have to remove linux57-nvidia-440xx, lib32-nvidia-440xx-utils and nvidia-440x-utils. No idea if it’s save to remove those or not.

I think the issue has been resolved for now … please check for updates !!
