It’s a lot of output but I’ll go for it I guess… Man this is frustrating!!
So I logged in to a tty
ran uname -a
output was
5.4.85-1MANJARO
inxi -G
NVIDIA GP106 GTX 1060 6GB driver: N/A
Loads of other stuff but I think that’s the important bit?
Then I ran
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 and now get something different to before…
Installing video-nvidia...
Sourcing /etc/mhwd-x86.conf....
...
nvida-utils and nvidia-440xx-utils are in conflict
Error: pacman failed!
Error: script failed
I’ve been a member for years on the forum but couldn’t login to my old account so had to make a new one.
I tried
sudo pacman -r nvidia-440xx-utils
but get
Error: failed to initialize alpm library
Have you updated the system now freshly again with the Philm new fix he posted about 19minutes ago?
sudo pacman -Syyu
first. Hopefully there is “nothing to do” but actually some package(s) got updated.
And then try the mhwd thing again.

Yes I have, it said nothing to update.
maybe instead of removing the old try to install the new?
sudo pacman -S nvidia-utils
??

Ok that did let me remove the 440xx
and now it does look like sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 is doing something

Hello Phil,
I had issues with my Ti1080 Nvidia drivers. Got black screen.
Solution:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
and after just following your normal installation:
sudo pacman -S linux-latest
Happy New Year

Thanks that worked perfectly. What is difference between true or false set to that parameter ?
I uninstalled everything “pipewire” except pipewire and pipewire-docs and then the update went through correctly. I found on the Arch wiki that pipewire-pulse and other “pipewire” were not needed if PulseAudio was working properly.
