New computer, Nvidia rtx 4090. I can’t get past the Manjaro splash screen with either proprietary or free drivers. With proprietary, I get stuck on the splash screen indefinitely and can’t get a tty. With the free drivers, eventually the splash screen seems to crash and I can then get into a tty. From there I tried to run startx which predictably failed with (EE) no screens found. But that also let me get some Xorg logs which might be useful?
<I’m apparently not allowed to embed images, I don’t know how else to get logs off the system right now>
Notably it seems to me like it’s an unsupported card (“devices detected but none match those in the config file”).
I can’t figure out how to proceed because without being able to get a desktop I can’t run the installer and I can’t do any of the stuff I’d normally try IE updating drivers. Any help appreciated, even if it just gets a desktop temporarily.
it looks like manjaro didnt add this card to their mhwd tool yet…
you can try also booting the usb with this parameter: ibt=off
heres a link where you put it during booting the usb…
Yes, that worked! The open source drivers still seemed to crash the same way, but with this setting the proprietary drivers eventually got to a desktop.
you will also have to add this parameter in your installation, otherwise you will end up again with a black screen…
you can add it via chroot, or again during booting, and then make it permanent by adding it to grub conf
