Hello
I had an update yesterday (04 jan) and after rebooting I got a black screen.
I can receive the shell login after I touch some keys (ALT+F2 I think), I can login through shell interface, but no KDE if I reboot.
(I have a bootable USB so I can access the system easily.)
I read some posts on the same prob, but I still don’t know what is the first step.
Thanks
Then you don’t need the a rescue ISO
A lot of issues come from Nvidia - so when signed into a console session - run the script to see what driver it suggests.
nvidia-driver-assistant
Had exactly the same issue this morning.
nVidia GT 1030 is used in that system which didn’t boot for several times after updates in the last year - beginning to get really annoying as not every issue was fixable as easy as this one.
Anyway, as mentioned above, nvidia-driver-assistant suggested to install the linux612-nvidia-575xx legacy kernel modules.
Solution for me was:
sudo pacman -R lib32-nvidia-utils linux612-nvidia
sudo pacman -S linux612-nvidia-575xx
sudo reboot -h 0
Beware, the commands may not be exactly the same depending on your kernel version.
Edit:
Since I installed the legacy driver, I am experiencing flickering whole rows in black and flickering white single pixels. It is not that bad that the system isn’t usable but obviously also not acceptable to deal with forever.
Has anyone ever had this kind of issue and managed to fix it?
Hello
I have a GT 1030 
So, before I saw your message i downgraded all the nvidia packages that were upgraded 2 days ago.
sudo downgrade nvidia-settings nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils libva-nvidia-driver linux66-nvidia linux-firmware-nvidia mhwd-nvidia nvidia-driver-assistant
Now I have 580.119.02, and it works !!
But question, what I must do now, avoiding nvdia updates ?
Thanks a lot
