My PC turned to be black screen after Manjaro update yesterday. I finished pacman -Syy and pacman -Syu from manjaro-chroot and now I am able to log into TTY. The login GUI is still blank.
I guess it’s the problem with the Nvidia driver.

I tried to remove the nonfree driver and install the free Nvidia driver by mhwd -r pci video-nvidia and mhwd -i pci video-linux, the black screen remained.
