Hello everyone,
In the past (about 2 years ago) I installed Manjaro and followed a tutorial (which I can’t find anymore) about how to setup nVidia for my Dual GPU Laptop (Intel CPU + nVidia Dedicated). This used to work perfectly for my Asus ROG GL753VD.
The issue that I have now (like last time) is that after I input my password and press enter on the Login Screen, the system completely freezes. Can’t move cursor, can’t go to tty, can’t do anything and I’m forced to turn off and turn on the laptop. This also happens, intermittently, during the boot screen (when the small dots and Manjaro logo are shown, just before the login screen).
Right now I’m using a fresh Manjaro Plasma install, with the Open-Source drivers, as they don’t freeze my screen. No other edits to grub and/or /x11/ conf files.
My aim is to be able to use the nVidia graphics card, support and guidance is very appreciated.
Below is the information that hopefully will speed up this support request.
