Black Screen Issue After Manjaro Update

Support
1

Hi everyone,

After updating my Manjaro system to the latest version, Iam encountering [a black screen] during boot. The system seems to start, but the display remains blank, and I cannot access the desktop environment.

Here is what I have tried so far:

  1. Booting into an older kernel version.
  2. Accessing a TTY session using Ctrl + Alt + F2, but no response.
  3. Using a live USB to chroot into the system and update all packages.

Iam running Manjaro GNOME with an Intel integrated GPU. Could this be a graphics driver issue, or is there something else I need to check?

Any suggestions or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello and welcome,

From within the chroot can you please obtain a few snippets of information?

inxi -Farz
mhwd-kernel -li
mhwd -li -l

You may send these directly to pastes like so;

inxi -Farz | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st
mhwd-kernel -li | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st
mhwd -li -l | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st

Is your device equipped with a second dedicated GPU?

Most likely you have not switched in time to a still supported kernel. linux610 and linux611 are EOL/dead. Updating the systen with a dead kernel leads to situations as described by you. You can avoid this by following the Announcements for your branch.

Manjaro-chroot into your system from a live ISO and install a kernel still being supported (e.g. 6.12 or 6.6), e.g. with following command for 6.12:

mhwd-kernel -i linux612

Sometimes the command mhwd-kernel does not work within chroot environment, in this case use:

pacman -S linux612

After installing the new kernel, reboot (using the grub boot menu entry for the newly installed kernel) and remove the old unsupported kernel(s).
