Locked out of Manjaro KDE after installing NVidia GPU drivers

[cscs]

So … that is finished booting, and that would be an example I would expect TTY to work.

I dont understand how it would not… but the instructions for booting into runlevel 3 are there too.

Grub options and Boot Parameters

If you are never prompted for sign-in you can still take action by changing your boot options.

At the Grub menu, make your selection and and hit E to edit the kernel boot line.

Note: Many Manjaro systems have Grub hidden by default.
If this is the case tap Esc or Shift to make it appear.

@cscs

Simply add a 3 to the options at the end of the line (and optionally remove ‘quiet’) so it appears like this:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.11-x86_64 root=UUID=0a01099a-1e33-489a-a2de-10104e8492f5 rw 3

To continue booting use the F10 key.

If for some reason you cant do that either … then the other option is chroot, which can be done easily with manjaro-chroot if you dont have fancy filesystems like btrfs or encryption.

@cscs

Create or just reuse an already existing Manjaro Live USB (such as the one you used to install your system).

Once booted in the live system issue the following command in the terminal:

manjaro-chroot -a

Follow the prompts and you should have access to your installed system.
