After last update - black screen probably because nvidia drivers

It is not the first time it happens to me but this time i can’t figure out by reading other posts.
So before i’ll reinstall Manjaro…any help will be appreciated.
I use Live System to boot and mount my file system using manjaro-chroot -a:
I tried many commands based on this post:

Now this is my situation:

What error messages do you get? I just had the same problem as you and fixed it by following the post you linked. In my case I solved by booting into kernel 5.4 LTS and ran
sudo pacman -R linux59-nvidia-455xx linux54-nvidia-455xx lib32-nvidia-utils linux414-nvidia-455xx nvidia-455xx-utils. After that I installed nvidia-utils and reinstalled lib32-nvidia-utils linux59-nvidia-455xx linux54-nvidia-455xx linux414-nvidia-455xx. (I have Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GPU)

Thank you.
I’ll try it.
But first i need to figure out how to boot into another kernel.

Oh I think your grub menu is hidden when you start your computer. In that case, I think you need to use Live System to boot and mount your root file system. Afterwards, you need to modify your /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=“hidden” to GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE =“menu”. Try now to reboot and see if your grub menu is displayed. If it is, then you can choose advanced options and choose which kernel you have installed and can boot into. Then you can follow the post you have linked.

I hope this helps.

Once i switched to another kernel (5.10) from Grub menu, i finally was able to see Manjaro screen :slightly_smiling_face:
Thank you.
