Hi everyone. I’m fairly new to linux, so bare with me. If I didn’t provide any info that’s necessary, please inform me and I’ll provide it.
So I had Manjaro running on my system for a couple of months without any issues. One day, it suddenly decided to stop booting. After the message
the screen turns black and nothing happens. Opening a terminal with ctrl + alt + f2 is not possible.
I tried several reinstalls. They always follow the same pattern:
Installation from a live usb, no issues here
first boot, again, no issues, everything seems to be working fine
first reboot, boot fails, results in the described state with a black screen
I even tried installing mint for testing, I thought switching to an ubuntu based distro might make a difference. This resulted in the same issue, but the issue occurred after the third or fourth reboot.
A reinstall of grub also didn’t help.
I’m starting to run out of ideas, so any kind of advice would be very appreciated.
I wish I could help directly, but being a newbie myself my skills are rather limited. However, I’ve noticed a good bit of back and forth on this forum about NVIDIA-based graphic hardware not behaving well depending on other operating system configurations.
If you haven’t already, I would recommend searching specifically for “NVIDIA blank screen” posts and see what might be relevant to your situation.
Meanwhile, perhaps the gurus will give you specific guidance based on your inxi output.
have you try with a fresh iso USB ?
also in your case add others kernels
5.19 and 6.0
update menu grub ,
if possible you can add theses parameters on boot kernel
“amd_iommu=on iommu=pt processor.max_cstate=5 amd_pstate.shared_mem=1 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=true scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1”
check with manjaro-chroot ( with USB iso ) what you have in journalctl on your boot failed
were you running a system update after installing? if so you could be affected with the 3000 nvidia series bug, which make it so that you are not able to boot with the latest nvidia drivers… in the meantime, until its fixed you need to install the 470xx version of the drivers …
post output from: mhwd -l && mhwd -li
so you are probably affected with the bug … and every distro that shipped the latest nvidia drivers is affected too … so i asume you didnt run the update yet according to the inxi output?
Hm, okay. So I’ll have to downgrade it? I actually didn’t do the updates this time. I thought maybe they were the issue so I didn’t update. But the issue remains.
Okay, I might have messed up my many attempts haha. So I just did yet another clean install and didn’t do any of the updates this time. The reboot worked perfectly fine. I’ll now do all updates excluding the ones for the Nvidia Driver Version 515 and wait until the bug is fixed. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.
well blacklisting the drivers from updating also works… just dont forget to unblacklist them with the next update, which will hopefully be fixed by then
I had the same issue with an nvidia 3060 on my laptop and it drove me insane trying to figure it out. I found this on reddit and I was able to resolve my issue https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/v0x3c4/psa_if_you_run_kernel_518_with_nvidia_pass_ibtoff/ and was able to boot. I had to add ibt=off to my kernel parameters, then I permanently resolved it by updating grub with the kernel parameter update added. Its simple enough to test and see if it resolves your issue, I know for a fact it resolved mine on my laptop, it mentions kernel 5.18 in the post, but I had the same issue on 5.19 as well.
