Manjaro hanging at 'Starting systemd-udevd version 252.10-2-manjaro' when booting newer kernel

Defendant7274 · 22 May 2023 19:44

So, I’m at a loss!

I’m running 5.15.112-1-MANJARO and I’ve installed kernel 6.2. But when booting that kernel, it indefinitely hangs at Starting systemd-udevd version 252.10-2-manjaro.

I’ve tried uninstalling and installing different kernels. I’ve tried uninstalling and installing the video drivers (even forcibly). Every time I boot a different kernel than 5.15 it hangs.
I’ve tried almost all combinations of mhwd-gpu and mhwd commands from Configure Graphics Card.

Output of mhwd -li:

> Installed PCI configs:

Warning: No installed USB configs!

I don’t even think my nvidia card is ‘installed’ - glxinfo | grep OpenGL only returns my Intel UHD 630 Graphics. I’ve tried doing sudo modprobe nvidia.

I must admit, I don’t quite remember everything, and I have suspicions that the issue originates with me reinstalling video drivers at one point.

Any help in troubleshooting the issue is greatly appreciated!! TIA.

I should say, I’m on a laptop with a discrete GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630,

So why not use kernel 5.15?

Its supported until 2026.

6.2 is EOL soon anyways.

It looks like it is, and using PRIME. And thats expected. Do

prime-run glxinfo | grep OpenG

Defendant7274 · 22 May 2023 19:57

Thank you.

I could, I’d like to update though. And I definitely want the option

6.2 is just the one I ended with now, I’ve tried with 6.1 and 6.3 as well - Same result, so I don’t think it’s a kernel issue.

Hmm… prime-run glxinfo | grep OpenGL returns the following:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  50
  Current serial number in output stream:  51

cscs · 22 May 2023 20:05

Well it makes it appear as though prime-run is broken somehow.

Heres what the script does expanded into the separate env vars:

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep OpenGL

There was recently an example of it working when prime-run didnt. How, I do not know.

Defendant7274 · 22 May 2023 20:12

Hmm… Yeah. I think it might be an X misconfiguration somewhere, however I cannot seem to pin it down. Again, thank you.

Check in /etc/X11/{mhwd,xorg.conf}.d/*

In /etc/X11/mhwd.d/intel.conf I’ve got:

Which seem wrong…?

This one looks like it shouldnt be there. Or at least … its worth removing it for now.
We can back it up…

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak

Then lets go ahead and pull a reinstall:

sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime

(afterwards look again … config files might be populated)

Defendant7274 · 22 May 2023 21:04

I tried it, the intel.conf, nvidia.conf and 90-mhwd.conf have the same content as above. A restart produces the same described result…

TriMoon · 23 May 2023 04:57

Switch to a different console by pressing CTRL+ALT+Fn (Where Fn is F2 and higher)
Check your system logs using journalctl and/or dmesg for errors wrt to your graphics card drivers…

Defendant7274 · 23 May 2023 17:35

Hmm… dmesg -L --level err shows no relevant errors.

I’m having a hard time parsing the output of journalctl, the following might have some relevance?

Working (5.15) journalctl output:

The relevant output seems to be largely equal, however, bumblebeed is not started in the working kernel startup…?

Defendant7274 · 23 May 2023 17:39

In the working one, I also get May 22 23:00:29 myhost kernel: ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux-HPI-Hybrid-Graphics) which isn’t present in the non-working one…
