When it works, it is sweet. Then they will push out an update that trashes something. It&#8217;s a distro based on <a href=\"https:\/\/archlinux.org\">Arch Linux<\/a>. They really brought Arch into the mainstream because nobody can tolerate Arch. The Arch developers work really hard, but using Arch is like being in Navy Seal training each and every day of your life. A desktop OS should look nice, be reliable, and get the (*&amp;)(*&amp; out of the way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You really should read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/information-technology\/nvidia\/\">Part 1<\/a> of this to understand how we got here. There will be a Part 3 in the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will get a taste of Arch frustrations with this post. If you wish to run BOINC and use either nvidia340 or nvidia390 drivers on a current Linux kernel, Manjaro is the distro to use. Support is there, it just isn&#8217;t that straight forward. You may well notice some of the frustrations end users have with Arch and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download the latest full ISO from the official Manjaro Web site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Burn it to a thumb drive of sufficient size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stick said thumb drive in the machine where you wish to install and boot from it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When the screen shows choose Open-Source drivers<\/strong>. Choosing Proprietary Drivers will put you in a world of hurt because you won&#8217;t get the correct ones and most of you cannot use Linux without a GUI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Double click on the install icon or choose install from the welcome menu. Answer all of the questions like a good little user. When it asks about restarting, choose to restart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is best to login and wait for Manjaro to tell you updates are available. You will be fighting the lock file for updates otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/updates-001.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/updates-001.png 952w, https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/updates-001-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/updates-001-768x445.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let the updates finish, then reboot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After logging back in, choose to open the Add or Remove Software app. Navigate your way through the 3-dot menu to get to settings. You want the Third Party tab.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-support-1024x639.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-support-1024x639.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-support-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-support-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-support-1200x748.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-support.png 1241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You want to enable AUR. <strong>(Never enable Snap!)<\/strong> I believe that stands for Arch User Repository but the name doesn&#8217;t matter. What does matter is that most everything in there was created on\/for\/using Arch. It may or may not build on Arch derivatives. This is especially true if said derivative customizes or otherwise tweaks the kernel.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-002.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-002.png 630w, https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-002-300x232.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I never enable that development thing. If I was active in the Arch community, creating PKGBUILD scripts for my own stuff, maybe, but I&#8217;m not.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"584\" height=\"218\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-003.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-003.png 584w, https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aur-003-300x112.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flatpak isn&#8217;t relevant to getting the drivers, but you might as well enable it. More and more software packages are moving to Flatpak only. It&#8217;s the only environment you can expect to be mostly the same on every Linux distro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(Never enable Snap!)<\/strong> Snap has a history of malicious software along with blatant vulnerabilities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquasec.com\/blog\/snap-trap-the-hidden-dangers-within-ubuntus-package-suggestion-system\/\">More seem to be found every day<\/a>. Linux Mint and some other YABUs (Yet Another uBUntu) have them disabled by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Manjaro Gotcha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kernel headers are not installed by default. Even when you install kernel headers Manjaro doesn&#8217;t create the symbolic link like most Debian distributions. If you happy click your way to installing nvidia340 or nvidia390 right now you will see this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kevinbatdorf-code-block-pro cbp-has-line-numbers\" data-code-block-pro-font-family=\"Code-Pro-Deja-Vu-Mono.ttf\" style=\"font-size:.875rem;font-family:Code-Pro-Deja-Vu-Mono,ui-monospace,SFMono-Regular,Menlo,Monaco,Consolas,monospace;--cbp-line-number-color:#b392f0;--cbp-line-number-width:calc(2 * 0.6 * .875rem);line-height:1.25rem;--cbp-tab-width:2;tab-size:var(--cbp-tab-width, 2)\"><span style=\"display:block;padding:16px 0 0 16px;margin-bottom:-1px;width:100%;text-align:left;background-color:#1f1f1f\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"54\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 54 14\"><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" transform=\"translate(1 1)\"><circle cx=\"6\" cy=\"6\" r=\"6\" fill=\"#FF5F56\" stroke=\"#E0443E\" stroke-width=\".5\"><\/circle><circle cx=\"26\" cy=\"6\" r=\"6\" fill=\"#FFBD2E\" stroke=\"#DEA123\" stroke-width=\".5\"><\/circle><circle cx=\"46\" cy=\"6\" r=\"6\" fill=\"#27C93F\" stroke=\"#1AAB29\" stroke-width=\".5\"><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" style=\"color:#b392f0;display:none\" aria-label=\"Copy\" class=\"code-block-pro-copy-button\"><pre class=\"code-block-pro-copy-button-pre\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><textarea class=\"code-block-pro-copy-button-textarea\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" readonly>==> Starting build()...\nNVIDIA: calling KBUILD...\nmake&#91;1&#93;: Entering directory '\/var\/tmp\/pamac-build-roland\/nvidia-340xx\/src\/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108-no-compat32\/kernel'\nmake&#91;1&#93;: *** \/usr\/src\/linux: No such file or directory.

He quickly became a consultant and president of Logikal Solutions, a software consulting firm specializing in OpenVMS application and C++\\\/Qt touchscreen\\\/embedded Linux development. Early in his career he became involved in what is now called cross platform development. Given the dearth of useful books on the subject he ventured into the world of professional author in 1995 writing the first of the \\\"Zinc It!\\\" book series for John Gordon Burke Publisher, Inc. A decade later he released a massive (nearly 800 pages) tome \\\"The Minimum You Need to Know to Be an OpenVMS Application Developer\\\" which tried to encapsulate the essential skills gained over what was nearly a 20 year career at that point. From there \\\"The Minimum You Need to Know\\\" book series was born. Three years later he wrote his first novel \\\"Infinite Exposure\\\" which got much notice from people involved in the banking and financial security worlds. Some of the attacks predicted in that book have since come to pass. While it was not originally intended to be a trilogy, it became the first book of \\\"The Earth That Was\\\" trilogy: Infinite Exposure Lesedi - The Greatest Lie Ever Told John Smith - Last Known Survivor of the Microsoft Wars When he is not consulting Roland Hughes posts about technology and sometimes politics on his blog. He also has regularly scheduled Sunday posts appearing on the Interesting Authors blog.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/theminimumyouneedtoknow.com\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.logikalsolutions.com\\\/wordpress\\\/author\\\/seasoned_geek\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"How to still use nvidia340 or nvidia390 - Part 2 &#8211; Logikal Blog","description":"I have a love, like, sometimes hate relationship with Manjaro.

He quickly became a consultant and president of Logikal Solutions, a software consulting firm specializing in OpenVMS application and C++\/Qt touchscreen\/embedded Linux development. Early in his career he became involved in what is now called cross platform development. Given the dearth of useful books on the subject he ventured into the world of professional author in 1995 writing the first of the \"Zinc It!\" book series for John Gordon Burke Publisher, Inc. A decade later he released a massive (nearly 800 pages) tome \"The Minimum You Need to Know to Be an OpenVMS Application Developer\" which tried to encapsulate the essential skills gained over what was nearly a 20 year career at that point. From there \"The Minimum You Need to Know\" book series was born. Three years later he wrote his first novel \"Infinite Exposure\" which got much notice from people involved in the banking and financial security worlds. Some of the attacks predicted in that book have since come to pass. While it was not originally intended to be a trilogy, it became the first book of \"The Earth That Was\" trilogy: Infinite Exposure Lesedi - The Greatest Lie Ever Told John Smith - Last Known Survivor of the Microsoft Wars When he is not consulting Roland Hughes posts about technology and sometimes politics on his blog. He also has regularly scheduled Sunday posts appearing on the Interesting Authors blog.","sameAs":["https:\/\/theminimumyouneedtoknow.com"],"url":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/author\/seasoned_geek\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7764"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7773,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7764\/revisions\/7773"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
