Fresh install hangs on boot

@bluerain I changed both settings and still hangs

@winnie Actually I can log in to any tty. IF I change to tty1 CTRL + ALT + F1 than I can log in.

Any idea how to fix this?

By “log in” do you mean into a text console, or into your graphical desktop session (i.e, “GNOME”)?

Into gnome. And on other tty-s on console.

If you can get into GNOME, switch to the proprietary drives using Manjaro’s Hardware tool (you can find it in the menu.)

Tell it to automatically switch to and install the latest proprietary (nvidia) driver and make the changes to the applicable boot/config files. You might have to double-check it’s correct, and remove nouveau from your mkinicpio.conf MODULES array.


Even after it’s done, you can check /etc/default/grub and /etc/mkinicpio.conf, then sudo update-grub and sudo mkinitcpio -P for good measure.

Make sure nothing else exists under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ that refers to nouveau.


EDIT: See below as well. Just realized you have hybrid graphics (nvidia/intel)
