Black screen after installing kernel 6.10

MW_J97 · 20 July 2024 09:51

Yes, I am using Nvidia GPU and causing some errors for me, but I’m still planning to replace it with AMD one. But, for now, can this be fixed? Or I roll back to another kernel?

Fair enough.
I’ve seen enough problems with it, though, that I’ve purged it from my computer, and every time something like this comes along, it makes me extremely glad from the beginning.

MW_J97 · 20 July 2024 09:54

I am planning to do the same thing. It’s the only real fix for those issues.

Most likely you will get as good performance as any using the Noveau driver.

While plymouth may or may not be a part of this - I think elimating it is the first step - in order to do so - please provide the content of

cat /etc/default/grub

And

cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the

Yes - I once had a laptop with dual GPU - Thinkpad T550 - it worked best with the opensource drivers - and by comparison your gpu is older than the one in my Thinkpad.

For the eliminating plymouth from the error pool

Edit your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and remove plymouth and kms from the hooks line and save the file.

Note: The kms hook is added by an update to mkinitcpio but for the kms hook to work - you will have to enable the nvidia framebuffer - using kernel arguments and for a device that old - I have no idea.
See the Arch Wiki → Kernel mode setting - ArchWiki

That said

if you remove the nvidia driver from your system and add nouveau
- you can keep the kms hook in mkinitcpio
if you want to keep the nvidia driver you will have to remove kms from the hooks array

Edit your /etc/default/grub and rmove quiet and splash from the command line and save the file.

Then run

sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

MW_J97 · 20 July 2024 10:57

Let’s start with changing the driver, may be it’s the problem.
Does clicking (Auto install open source driver) like this screenshot do the job? https://i.imgur.com/1hvjxC5.png

omano · 20 July 2024 13:49

No. Ever tried to run something else than the desktop, like a game?

Just remove Nvidia, then install Open source driver, no need to ask yourself that then. Then reboot.

linux-aarhus · 20 July 2024 14:02

I admit it - I have not - I am no gamer - I was - am - kind trying to help troubleshooting the black screen and one way is switch driver.

I won’t say the nouveau driver is better than nvidia - most likely it is not - process of elimination.

And configuring Nvidia can be a pain - I know - I had my issues over the years with Nvidia on Linux - mostly it didn’t work well - it has gotten better.

Once passed the black screen - it becomes easier to make one small change at time until it works as expected.

omano · 20 July 2024 14:05

Sure it is the way to go to troubleshoot, but affirming you get ~~better~~ as good performance with nouveau is just not true.

MW_J97 · 21 July 2024 11:09

I don’t know what went wrong, but there is an issue in the resolution. Even if I installed NVIDIA 470xx again, still the same issue of the resolution.

Despite I installed all 470xx packages, I think

MW_J97 · 21 July 2024 11:21

This resolution issue is only on kernel 6.10, but on 6.9 it’s fine. I thinks as I installed Linux69 Nvidia.

So it is available. Now the question is, how did you install said drivers?

Also, please provide the output of:

pamac search --installed 470

and

pamac search --installed nvidia

MW_J97 · 21 July 2024 11:29

I installed them using Pamac and Pacman, both with the same results. But, with Manjaro settings, it gives me an error saying (Not found linux610 nvidia).

Yeah, I think the wrong driver for the kernel is installed. Or the one for that kernel is missing. Try the following:

sudo mhwd --install pci video-nvidia-470xx

…and reboot. Or, if that doesn’t work, try:

sudo mhwd --force --install pci video-nvidia-470xx

…and reboot.

O_o…

I can find it:

$ pamac search linux610-nvidia-470xx
linux610-nvidia-470xx  470.256.02-0.1                                      extra
    NVIDIA drivers for linux

Try updating you package list and then trying again:

sudo pacman -Sy

Followed by trying again:

sudo mhwd --install pci video-nvidia-470xx

MW_J97 · 21 July 2024 11:53

Same error as above.
I can’t even install Nouveau as it gives me the same resolution issue.

linux-aarhus · 21 July 2024 11:59

You have two important messages

First pacman fails - second the mhwd script fails because pacman failed.

And you have an unsupported 3rd party repo

Edit your pacman.conf and comment the three/four lines defining the 3rd party repo - save file - start with fixing why pacman fails.

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent
sudo pacman -Syu

This will fix the missing package
