Think the main bug with the 455 drivers was prime synchronisation but that’s supposed to be fixed in the 460 drivers. Aren’t 460 in unstable branch at the moment?
Yep.

The 460 already have the bug of the kernel crash (450 too and confirmed in the post linked on the nvidia forum). I want the 455 drivers, really, but when your computer freeze all days it’s unusable.
Nvidia works on the fix (probably in few weeks/months and the cause is not sure already) so I will switch with pleasure after this fix.

yes, that’s the problem for me too. my card is too new to use 390; it only gained support with 440.

Yep. Not Manjaro’s finest day. It trashed my system and I ended up doing a complete rebuild as I couldn’t find any help in the forums.
“Read: 19 minutes recently”
Maybe you should have tried harder then to ‘find any help on the forum’ I’m pretty sure you could have got some in the update announcement thread to redirect you to the various already opened threads about the ‘Nvidia panic’, or this thread here with all explanations to switch drivers.
It is weird it “trashed your system” as you have a fairly recent video card and it should have been transitioning you to your current drivers version to the latest drivers silently. Maybe you did something wrong in the update process? You may have rejected all the transition it asked to replace all older MHWD packages to the new ones?
I think that is some issue, because my Nividia card is Geforce GT 650M, and it don’t have support to 455 driver.
I had installed before and Noveau was loading instead. The 455 driver even wasn’t listed on Manjaro Settings.
I checked on Nvidia website’s too. The last driver is 418.
yes i may be using a different os (endeavour) but i have problem installing the drier from here
when i install it it tells me that i,m using a manjaro kernel while i,m using zen kernel and headers.
so it tells me it,s unable to install the driver to the kernel and after restart pc the driver work but the pc freezes after opening an app
so now i,m stuck with the noveau that is slow and crashes some apps
this is how to terminal was like (the log from terminal)(installed nvidia utils from pamac (pacman gui) because the makepkg didn,t work well)

[alakondray@alakondray-s-laptop nvidia-340xx-dkms]$418 drivers work only with kernel 5.4? With other kernels it is not worth trying?
Someone of the Manjaro Team can answer here or not about the various problems (the 440 driver for example) ?
I surrendered. Because I never use my venerable Dell XPS laptop for gaming, only for “office” type work, I installed the Nouveau drivers. I was concerned how they would handle my using two monitors. But no issues. Everything is working just fine!! And now I can update the kernels.
how to remove them when I will move to newer versions?
As these old drivers are installed via packages you can simply use the package manager to remove.
Any luck getting something stable?
I have the same card and mine just crashes randomly at boot. It doesn’t even display the Lenovo logo.
Whilst I understand the decision to remove the drivers, my system still isn’t working properly!
Manjaro was supposed to be friendly arch…
Thank you NVIDIA
Thank you Manjaro
You still have the 390 driver available in Manjaro Setting. Your card is supported by current available drivers what are you complaining about? That you can not use the latest and greatest driver (460)? Yeah OK cool but this has nothing to do with Manjaro.
Not really complaining…just a comment because my system was working one day and just crashed the on the second…with no possibility to even get to the CLI.
P.S. Manjaro settings wouldn’t show any available drivers btw
Then open a support thread and explain your issue, and give proper system information too.
It’s just getting to hard it’s the 3rd time in less than one year that Manjaro broke for me.
Switched to Fedora 33 for now, but sometimes I just need the AUR.
