After updating my system, I can no longer boot using proprietary Nvidia drivers. I’m using a Dell Precision M4800, I was using version 465.31-1 on Kernel 5.10.211-1 due to the Nvidia K2100M not supporting the latest driver.
lib32-nvidia-utils 465.31-1
nvidia-dkms 465.31-1
nvidia-utils 465.31-1
I had append 3 to the kernel boot options to get to a TTY, and I upgraded to Kernel 6.6 LTS and tried upgrading to nvidia-470xx, but that didn’t fix anything. I had to uninstall it and install Nouveau via MHWD, which is laggy and crashes often.
I’ve checked the thread about plymouth being updated causing issues, but I do not have it installed.
