I installed nvidia-driver-396 (open source) as you suggested, but now the NVIDIA X Server Settings app wont open.
It opened before, when I had nvidia-driver-390 installed, so what's gone wrong - how do I fix this? I should mentionthat I don't have a Fermi-based GPU.
Note that the nvidia-396 has dropped its support for Fermi-based GPUs - see https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/...force-gpus
for a list of Fermi series GeForce GPUs (information taken from the Manjaro community forum on 15 June 2018).
Maybe worth mentioning one or two other points that were raised in the tutorial here:
(1) The ukuu app is a bit of a duplication of the pre-installed Kernel Installer, already found in Lite Tweaks. The main differences are that ukuu gives a much more detailed list of kernel releases than Kernel Installer, and alerts you with a Desktop notification if there are any new kernels available to install (currently 4.17, 9 June 2018). However, everytime you boot up, ukuu repeatedly nags you about about the latest kernel with its onscreen notification.
(2) TLP (for managing battery use), again already listed in Lite Tweaks.
Hoping this is useful.
