Okay, I rebooted and got the same thing but slightly different. Now my black screen has some nouveau error codes. They are:
[ 4.307302] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bus: MMIO write of 80000122 FAULT at 10eb14
[ PRIVRING ]
[ 5.481859 ] nouveau 0000:0a:00.0: bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 3e6684 [ PRIVRING]
I still have access to tty2, but it shows up on my other monitor now, the one connected to the GTX 950 (before it was on the GTX 750 Ti monitor)
With two Nvidia GPUs and your Monitors setup like that you will have to set Multihead as described in NVIDIA - ArchWiki
The problem that might happen in your case is that i’m not sure if the GTX 750 is supported by the latest Nvidia driver. The GTX 950 is, but you might have to go back to the video-nvidia-470xx and then set the Multihead part as described in the Arch wiki link mentioned above.
With Nouveau drivers aka video-linux the gaming will suffer greatly in performance …
I won’t swear to it but I believe the 530 driver starts it’s support at the nvidia 650 card and up. My previous card to this one was the 750 and I know I was on newer than 470 driver.
I just need to get my desktop back first… then I can try getting the NVIDIA drivers to work. But right now I don’t have an accessible desktop! How can I at least fix it to get a desktop?
When I plug in my live USB and boot with proprietary drivers I get the same thing, with the black screen.
Hi, i had a simaler problem. But I fixed it.
Mayber my thread will help you (see link).
Short answer:
at my system it was about all about the nvedia driver that wouldnt work with the intel drivers.
(i know you have an amd system, but maybe it’s the same solution (?))
In the end i had to take “ibt=off”. (search it on the search engine of your choice)
It will stop some boot option that will the system make more secure. (i am not an it expert)
How do you get there? (aks ChatGPT for a more detailed answer)
For that indeed you will need later to do as @stephane explained.
To get your system booting, use just one card. Before you will add back the second one you will have to get the BusID PCI for that card and add it to the /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf file.
Sometimes booting with nomodeset instead of quiet helps, even without the nvidia.conf, but with multiple Monitors things will get unpredictable …
Okay I just took out my GTX 950 and the monitor plugged into it. Now, were only dealing with one monitor plugged into my GTX 750 Ti. How do I get the BusID PCI? Also, I uninstalled all NVIDIA drivers from earlier. Do you want me to reinstall them?
After booting with just one card and one monitor I got the same result. I am still able to access tty2, as mentioned earlier.
If I really need to, I can reinstall Manjaro with the open source drivers, and at least have access to a desktop. But I’ll need to know how to get the proprietary drivers working correctly.
