I’ve been trying to install manjaro for a while now and it failed like 6 times. The partition details are below
partition size flag
256 GB SSD
/dev/sda1 100mb windows EFI
/dev/sda2 16mb windows
/dev/sda3 196gb ntfs
/dev/sda4 1G /boot/efi boot
/dev/sda5 2g swap
/dev/sda6 27G / root
1TB HDD
/dev/sda1 500gb ntfs
/dev/sda2 500gb /home
after install it gets stuck at “acer” logo and does not display anything but the logo. I’ve tried to install it multiple times it does not work, i tried to install it with a previous version manjaro gnome 20.2 RC4, it had similar issues but it booted when i selected fallback mode in grub but the installation broke when i ran
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu
After all of that i reinstalled the latest version, again with the same issue,
i tried the following after chrooring into install :
mkinintcpio -P
this still did not work, so i tried changing the nvidia drivers .
mhwd -r pci video-linux
mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-450xx
when i tried to install nvidia driver it returns " video-nvidia-450xx not found" .
i’ve had the same setup a month ago and it worked like a charm, now it fails every time i install it. before installing manjaro i had ubuntu in the same setup (ive deleted all of ubuntu’s partition while first installing manjaro).
i also have nvidia 940mx graphics card in my laptop
Edit:
Looks like gdm does not start causing manjaro to be stuck on acer logo
