When will nvidia 450 drivers update arrive?

Hi,

I have nvidia 440 drivers on my system, and OBS can no longer access NVENC hardware encoder because it needs 450 drivers.

When will an update be available? Is there any kind of schedule?

The update is already there you just need to install the drivers. Have a look in manjaro settings manager

It has been in our stable repo since the 08/22/20 update

You should be looking at our announcement section to keep up-to-date.


A very simple search on our forums would have given you the answer

There is a reason why we put a big search bar telling you to search before posting.

But why do I need to do it manually? From the device manager i have some “broken dependencies” problem, I have to unistall 440 first. I tried a moment ago but ended up with noveau…

If there is no other way is there a detailed tutorial I can follow?

Oh, sorry, I did! And tried some solutions but ended up worse than I started. That’s why I thought about opening a post for MY precise case. Maybe I’m not up to the average user level. I’ve been using Manjaro for about three months after switching from Mint when I discovered it updated every TWO YEARS.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Could you post the output of mhwd -li? I think that should make the current state of things a bit clearer.

Of course. Here it goes:

Hi,

mhwd refuses to uninstall nvidia 440 because you have one or severalpackages that depend on it. So you simply need to uninstall those packages first with pacman -R, and if you still have a depedency error use pacman -Rdd instead, then you will be able to uninstall 440, install 450, and finally reinstall the packages you uninstalled, then you should be all good

but, for example, if I unistall nvidia-latest-440, I don’t have to reinstall it, do I?

And there is no nvidia-latest-450…

There is nothing like that?

Yes, there is. How do I install it?
