Cannot boot since Nvidia update/ Kernel update

Support Graphics & Display

have no idea what the issue could be…
remove the nvidia and try if you can boot on open source drivers:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-470xx
reboot

42

With only the free driver I cannot boot at all.

so install the nvidia ones from tty:
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
reboot

After installing it, it directly booted into the desktop. But after reboot, same story.

post output from:
pacman -Qs 'optimus|bbswitch|bumblebee'

so you have installed optimus, that could be the reason for it…
remove it:
sudo pacman -Rns optimus-manager
reboot

Hell to the yea, this was the issue. :sweat_smile: And meanwhile you also fixed the issue with the second monitor.
Wow, I remember installing optimus, but didnt come to my mind that this was the issue.
