Hi all,
I have a three monitor setup, and, whenever my manjaro goes to sleep and I try to log back in, the middle monitor is black, the login bar isn’t responsive, the cursor is able to move still, and then I have to type my password a few times before it logs in. It’s been driving me up a wall. Does anyone know how I may go about fixing this issue?
Thanks!
Hello and welcome,
Can we see:
inxi -Fxza --no-host
Please share it as formatted text!
Also: inspect your journal for errors arround the time your trying to log back in and post those as well.

I also thought that I should add that for some strange reason, my monitor configuration will move between monitors, but will maintain their overall orientation with respect to the cursor. For example, if I add widgets on monitor C, rebooting will make them go to monitor A, etc, and sometimes not even show the widgets on that monitor at all.
This is a EOL kernel = end of life. Please install 5.7 as is more stable. I don’t recommend yet the 5.8 kernel, or even go with 5.4 as is LTS
First we have to be sure your system is updated:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu
then
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux57
For that you can create a fixed configuration with Nvidia X Settings for the /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf Please pay attention to what entries you keep from old configuration; make a backup of it.
Here is an exemple of what i use in KDE Plasma install:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
Option "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection
Section "Files"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"

Section "Monitor"

Section "Device"

EndSection
Section "Screen"

Monitor "Monitor0"

Option "Stereo" "0"
Option "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0"
Option "metamodes" "DVI-I-1: 1920x1080_60 +0+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}, DVI-D-0: 1920x1080_60 +1920+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}"
Option "SLI" "Off"
Option "MultiGPU" "Off"
Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
SubSection "Display"

EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "COMPOSITE" "Enable"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
Because of that Option "TripleBuffer" "On" i also use the /etc/profile.d/kwin.sh with this lines:
export KWIN_TRIPLE_BUFFER=1
export __GL_YIELD=USLEEP
export __GL_MaxFramesAllowed=1
Bare in mind, that this only has some advantages on the X11 session, and will not help if you want to try Wayland.
Next you can safely remove tlp package since you have a Desktop PC.
Thank you for your reply, bodancovaciu. Unfortunately, I’m running into a new error now: it won’t update before changing kernels, because, once it finishes installing the cuda package, it says its corrupted and cancels.
If just cuda gives that error, remove it (i know is a 5GB but better not insist different way), update, reboot, clean the pamac cache and then try to reinstall cuda.
Okay, I’m an arch newbie. Which terminal commands should I enter to accomplish what you suggest? 
EDIT:: It says the cuda package was unexpectedly large, not corrupted. Apologies.
EDIT2:: Using the GUI for software updates fixed the issue. However, the command:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux57
: says no targets specified
So you run out of space in the root?
You can clean cache by
pacman -Sc
or even more aggressive with
pacman -Scc
then run again
sudo pacman -Syyu
