The computer boots to black screen, because of kernel 5.9, which is EOL.
I have the same problem: black screen after yesterday’s upgrade.(KDE). I need a step by step way of getting out if this. What a pain
Currently I don’t have the time to test it myself, but maybe this would help: Nvidia Drivers Not Working - #4 by bogdancovaciu
At least this is the next step, I’ll gonna try as soon as I can.
Can you post some information about your system ?

Is any solution I run to this problem today. I 've used the manjaro LiveUSB I did manjaro-chroot -a and connected as a manjaro user, I’ve install linux510 with mhwd --install but I couldn’t remove linux-59 I got error can’t remove kernel. So I removed it with packman -R linux-59 but black screen continues to occur. Please any help? I’m one step before format the shit out of it and move to my old linux DistrOS, I’ve so much work to do this sh** is not what I need right now.
When I run mhwd-kernel --listinstalled I got
→ Currently running 5.9.16-1 -Manjaro (linux59)
but shows the following kernels are installed in your system * linux510
You can also remove the kernel manually.
Mount /boot and remove the kernel.
Then invoke update-grub.
I’m struggling here, my live version of Manjaro does not have any office applications so cannot copy from Konsole and paste into a document to transfer to working distro and paste on the forum.
Also I am unable to log into forum through live environment ‘username, email or password not recognised’ so cannot paste it in directly.
It appears that chroot only functions from a live environment so,
I have a second install of Manjaro on a separate SSD in the same computer which is what I am using right now but it hasn’t been updated in a while and I was about to delete it to free up space until this happened.
Is there a way to deal with the problem from this installation ?
You should, in theory at least, be able to chroot from such an installation, yes. I did it a few days ago. The command is the same.
Open a terminal, and run:
manjaro-chroot -a
And it should chroot into the other installation.
it says ‘command not found’
Then I’m afraid I don’t have anything else for you, except to copy everything you could possibly imagine you’d need to a seperate flash drive, like all password into text files, and so on. Then boot into the live ISO environment and go from there.
Then plug thee extra/other flash drive in, and use the data on it to access this forum with the username and password saved in the plain text file(s).
Ok, sorry. This didn’t help at all.
I’ve managed to figure out a solution forget about liveUSB and manjaro-chroot, during boot time press Cntrl + Alt + F2 login with your username/password and work with sudo and after removing old linux59 with
sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux59
then , do
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510
if you want you can add one more linux kernel like 511 to have. And then update-grub and reboot. I’ve tested with linux511 and worked.
If you have problems with your nvidia graphics check this:
The GPU drivers fix didn’t work for me either, but I’ve installed 390xx packages instead:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-390xx
Now the computer is booting again without issues. My card is a 1060gtx, is it maybe a bit too old for the latest drivers?
Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it but I’m not sure what you mean by ‘during boot time’.
I have a multi boot system with my main system on an NVMe drive which is giving me the black screen issue.
During boot time I’m given a Grub menu with all 3 systems on, do I select the system first then Ctrl + Alt + F2 and logon ?
While I’m in the shell I cannot access my pc or the forum.
Did you try CTRL + ALT +F1 from the login screen of the shell?
I also get a black screen if I just boot up the system and have to resort to keep hitting ALT + F2 (I’m on Gnome using the Wayland Windowing System after changing from the Proprietary NVIDIA driver to the Open Source Driver in the course of the update) to get a shell login screen but once there I hit ALT + F1 which brings me to the graphical login screen and I can login successfully and everything is working fine then.
I feel obliged to comment, as I had the same problem, more or less, as the OP, and after following many threads - but especially this one, I finally managed to get back into my system normally.
After encountering the black screen, I rebooted with a live manjaro from a usb stick and started to work from chroot, as described. Just as clarkeian340 described, I could not remove my linux59-kernel, either, using mhwd-kernel from the chroot environment. This apparently (I think) also made the process of trying to get the up-to-date compatible-with-linux510-kernel nvidia-drivers fail. I finally managed to remove the superfluous linux59 with pacman instead (“pacman -R linux59” instead of “mhwd-kernel --remove linux59”) and after that, when linux510 was the only installed kernel, getting the up-to-date nvidia drivers went through without problems. And now I’m on my machine normally again. So thank you so much, Mirdarthos, for the step by step, and OP for the thread, and everyone else who chipped in! I hope this might help someone.
(Btw, I am very much a happy amateur and this is my first post here.)
As soon as you press the start button keep pressing
Ctrl + Alt +F2
till tty opens. Then use your username and password [ the username and password that you normally use when doing sudo etc].
You are very welcome! Very happy you managed!
