Thank you. There’s obviously some other reason for not being able to start, and this is just a symptom. Classic XY problem. So let’s try to find out why is doesn’t start, then you can use the newer drivers.
- Install the drivers that you can’t start with.
- Reboot. (This boot should fail.)
- Chroot into your system as described below.
- Obtain the logs of the failed boot process:
journalctl --boot=-1 --priority=err..warnings --no-pager
Where:
- The
--boot=
limits the logs to be only from the previous boot (-1
); - the
--priority=
arguments (err..warnings
) limits the messages to be only Warnings and Errors; and - the
--no-pager
formats the output nicely for use here, on the forum.
How to chroot
-
Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with a still supported LTS kernel.
-
Write/copy/
dd
the ISO to a USB thumb drive. -
When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment.
-
Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the
chroot
encironment:
manjaro-chroot -a
- If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.
When done, you should now be in the chroot
environment.
But, be careful, as you’re now in an actual root environment on your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart.
You can keep the chroot
environment open after you’ve provided the output, you’ll probably need to run some commands in the environment in any case.
