Black grub with no manjaro option and black screen when booting in Manjaro i3 from BIOS

damn, was really hoping it would fix it… but its related to nvidia…
post output from:
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"

and is it a desktop? if yes, how is the nvidia connected? via cable or directly plugged into the motherboard

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 19:59

find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"
/etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.con

The nvidia GPU is connected via PCI-Express directly to the motherboard.

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 20:03

I have been reading about this and I think it only works for Intel processors. In my case, I have an AMD Ryzen 7 processor.

brahma · 6 October 2022 20:05

so no cable connection, configs look ok…
open this file, from chroot of course:
nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
and edit the modules section to look like this:

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)

save the file ctrl+x, and run:
mkinitcpio -P
reboot and see if it helped

the ibt should work only with intel ones, but it also affects amd, there was recently a user who couldnt boot with nvidia + amd, until he added the ibt parameter

Nope, still black screen for both kernels

Here is the mkinitcpio.conf file:

[manjaro-i3 /]# cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES=""

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap filesystems"

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()

brahma · 6 October 2022 20:22

the same logs as previous one … it looks like this could be it:

the only solution is to downgrade the drivers to the previous version…

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 20:24

jeeez, that does not sound good

brahma · 6 October 2022 20:30

it really looks like you are affected with this issue …
since they mention the latest 515 drivers, uninstall nvidia:
mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
and install the 470 version:
mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx
reboot and see if it helped

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 20:38

Yeeeeey! Now it works! Thank you very very much!

Question though - How can I know when manjaro developers upgrade the video-nvidia drivers such that I can upgrade to the last version that corrects this bug?

brahma · 6 October 2022 20:42

first it needs to be fixed by nvidia… i assume maybe the next nvidia update that will be available will be the fixed one… but i have no idea… you could post in the stable anouncement that there are possible issues with the latest nvidia 515.76 drivers, and link to this topic, so others and also manjaro devs are aware of it…

and also run again: sudo update-grub so that windows is being detected in grub

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 20:47

Yep, I have run sudo update-grub and now it detects windows . I will post in the stable announcement

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 20:49

Hmm I think I don’t have permissions to post there

brahma · 6 October 2022 21:09

of course you have … but i see, that you created a new warning topic, so that should be ok
