Would love it if someone could try to help me. I’ve got a live usb, internet, and additional laptop already at hand.
Long story short, I’ve been using the Intel graphics because nvidia can be so fiddly to get right. Recently got an external display and wanted to set up the hybrid graphic card setup so I could use the hdmi connection. That ended up booting to a black screen. Through the text prompt I managed to do stuff and hoping that I did not do too much bad stuff.
Please post your system info as outlined here:

What stuff? Without knowing what you did, it’s going to be difficult to help.
You have a hybrid Intel + NVIDIA laptop. You need both drivers. That’s why MHWD chose the video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-390xx-bumblebee profile automatically.
However, since Bumblebee is long dead, I would honestly give up on the old proprietary drivers and install the reverse engineered open-source nouveau drivers instead:
sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300
The stuff was basically removing nvidia related packages.
While it would be great for both Intel and NVIDIA cards to work, I’d settle for just using the Intel card again

You installed everything. Nothing will work like that.
Remove them all:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-390xx-bumblebee video-nvidia-390xx video-linux video-modesetting video-vesa
Immediately after, either install the proprietary driver:
or the open source driver:
Then reboot.
I rebooted before your last reply, and happily, the desktop came back, albeit with a 960x540 resolution.
Based on the errors, should I still reboot or do something else first?

Yes, you can reboot. There are only warnings. You can ignore the error about video-nvidia-390xx. It couldn’t remove it because it wasn’t installed. However, some of the packages in the profile were installed and they were removed.
rebooting brought me back to a black screen again
Edit: booted back into the live usb using the open source drivers and as a lark, connected the external monitor to the hdmi output, and it works! so there is some hope
Then try the proprietary drivers instead.
So I have the proprietary drivers in use. Using xorg, the screen resolution is too small. Using wayland, it is normal. GDM did not show wayland/xorg options, so I installed both lightdm and sddm before the whole black screen debacle and am not sure which loads the login now. Both have some messed up gnome things going on: no dock, no window minimize buttons, missing panel system indicators, etc. And the second monitor fails to show a screen on either.
Should I create a new topic for that or is there more that can be done here?
Sounds like the driver issues are solved then?
Yes, in the GNOME section and link this topic for reference. Sounds like you’re missing packages.
Since the live usb using open source drivers was able to use the external display, not quite, but I’ll start a new thread for that. Thank you for your help!
