Black screen after installing kernel 6.10

[Mirdarthos]

Just notices this:

@MW_J97

 community downloading...

You’ve been a naughty boy and neglecting your maintenance. That repository has been dropped for…oh, more than a year I think. So at the very least you have .pacnew files to attend to and handle.

System Maintenance/en

As you know, it might not seem related, but it very well might be, since you could see in the thread how something looks like one thing but it caused by something seemingly unrelated.

The other thing, when you don’t maintain your system properly, you cannot expect things to work. In this case, it might include the drivers, I don’t know. But either way, I suggest you sort that out and try again.

@MW_J97

 DEB_Arch_Extra downloading...

That’s also a third-party, so unsupported repository. I think it comes from Sublime text, but I’m not on that.

@MW_J97

DEB_Arch_Extra

No it is not Sublime repos as they name them properly so you know what you added years later. It is MEGA repo apparently DEB_Arch_Extra - Google Suche

@MW_J97

don’t know what went wrong

You didn’t install the Open Source drivers from MHWD as asked, here’s the first thing wrong.

@MW_J97

mhwd -li
Warning: No installed PCI configs!
Warning: No installed USB configs!

And as pointed above, something else is wrong with your system, it can not find packages that exist (linux610-nvidia). You seem to also not maintain the system properly.

@MW_J97

But, for now, what should I do for this issue?

You could also try this out:

If you encouter a black screen with no inteface after login in, it’s probably a problem with simpledrm loading.

To solve it add nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 to /etc/default/grub
in the line begining with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" .
Verify that you also have nvidia_drm.modeset=1 in the same line.
Then exec sudo update-grub

Also, verify that you have nvidia_drm in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf in the MODULES= or HOOKS= line.
Exemple :

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

If it was not present, then run sudo mkinitcpio -P after adding it.

@linux-aarhus

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent
sudo pacman -Syu

This fixed the update of driver 470xx and fixed the issue of the kernel. Now, I am opening from kernel 6.10. Thank you so much.

@linux-aarhus

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

Sorry, I didn’t get that. Can you explain more, please?

@Mirdarthos

So at the very least you have .pacnew files to attend to and handle.

So, what to do with this .pacnew?

Explicit Sync and why my apps may crash on Wayland with Nvidia hardware.
Does this par mean that Plasma 6.1 will be postponed?

[linux-aarhus]

@MW_J97

Does this par mean that Plasma 6.1 will be postponed?

It has been postponed for stable and testing - they provide Plasma 6.0.5.

As usual only unstable branch has Arch package level where provided Plasma is currently 6.1.3

@MW_J97

Sorry, I didn’t get that. Can you explain more, please?

What is there to explain ?

Since it was not interfering with your update - then you can ignore it.

Just remember that 3rd party repositories may interfere with system repositories and troubleshooting support is only provided for a clean manjaro system.

[Mirdarthos]

@MW_J97

So, what to do with this .pacnew?

Not only this one, but there are many you should handle. See

@omano

It is MEGA repo

I think I used MEGA once.

@omano

You didn’t install the Open Source drivers from MHWD as asked, here’s the first thing wrong.

@MW_J97

No, I installed them from Manjaro settings, but it gives me resolution errors as if the system doesn’t recognize the GPU on all installed Kernels. So, I deleted it again.
Maybe I installed it in the wrong way?

@omano

You seem to also not maintain the system properly.

What do you recommend for me to do regularly to maintain the system?

[MW_J97]

@linux-aarhus

It has been postponed for stable and testing - they provide Plasma 6.0.5.

Okay, but it’ll be available, right?

@Mirdarthos

Not only this one, but there are many you should handle. See

I read that, but I didn’t get the concept or what to do with this file?

@linux-aarhus

What is there to explain ?

Since it was not interfering with your update - then you can ignore it.

I didn’t know what to do with pacman.conf. Sorry, I don’t read a lot about the system till there is an issue with it, so I don’t get much info even if it looks simple.

How 'out the links I already provided you with:

I’m not calling you a liar, but there are very clear instructions what they are for, what they do, and how to handle them.

Hint:

It takes reading. I suspect ore than you want to do, because of:

…I suspect you don’t want to do it, not really. But not knowing your system, not knowing these things, not handling the .pacnew files for example, can cause you hopelessly to much grief.

@MW_J97

till there is an issue with it

What if… what if there was something you could do to prevent those things? If not all of 'em, then at least some of them, so there’s less that can go wrong? What a concept!

I’ll drop this here for passers-by;

I once had the Graphics card mentioned (GK106 / GeForce GTX 660 - 4GB) and found when using the Nouveau drivers I was plagued with seemingly incurable screen tearing – switching to the (then current) Nvidia drivers resolved that, and provided better performance overall.

@soundofthunder

I once had the Graphics card mentioned (GK106 / GeForce GTX 660 - 4GB)

And quite possibly the nouveau drivar has improved - that GPU is more than 10y old.

The suggestion of installing the opensource driver is now obsolete and the driver issue with 610 was resulved as the real issue was an unsynced mirror.

@linux-aarhus

Branch         : stable
Name           : linux610-nvidia-470xx

I had today 2 updates:

[2024-07-22T11:44:11+0200] [ALPM] upgraded mhwd-nvidia-390xx (390.157-13 -> 390.157-14)

@MW_J97

Error: pacman failed!
Error: script failed!

And i saw few days ago the same error on my system, after i try to deactivate the Open Source Driver for my nvidia GPU.

I try removing Nouveau (Video-Linux) is it possible?

MHWD will remove the “Video-linux” configuration: Starting > Removing video-linux...

Do you think there is a relation?

[soundofthunder]

@linux-aarhus

I agree; but the Nvidia card itself won’t have improved with age – no matter how much one flogs that horse, it won’t get any better.

No, I want to read and learn. Actually, I love learning computer science. But, I don’t have time due to my work.

Do you mean that Nouveau driver is working fine on GTX 660? As it doesn’t work fine on my device, there is a resolution issue. If it’s working fine, then can you please tell me the right method to install it?

[Mirdarthos]

@MW_J97

I don’t have time

I get it. I sometimes wish time-travel’s been invented, but alas…

Yes, exactly

If you read my comment again, you should see that I was saying exactly the opposite. Cheers.
