We changed the way how Nvidia drivers act on DRM. Seems that create black screen issues with hybrid setups, which don’t use Nvidia drivers for that. Therefore simpledrm, which is used gets blacked out and no DRM module is loaded - hence black screen when plymouth is active.
We are currently in the process to revert that made change.
the problem at this point exactly after update nvidia driver then restart, i get another issue and the system crashed, i fix the issue using optimus-manager because in my laptop i have two card graphics
Hello,
Same problem and disabling plymouth was not enough.
Solution for me : tty, login root. Activate wifi with nmtui (to avoid errors like the screenshot in post #22). pacman -Syyu and I got the new nvidia package. Sync, reboot and all is fine.
