Hello!
I had updated the system after many months (My bad. There are certain reasons as to why).
Now I am unable to view the login screen. After I see my system logo (Acer), I do not see any screen. It seems to refreshing constantly. I can briefly (couple of seconds) view the TTY but it get refreshed to a blank screen again.
I’m suspecting the issue might be Nvidia related (Please note that I had optimus-manager installed as well)
Currently booted in using Manjaro Gnome Live usb with propriety drivers. Have already performed chroot and update. No difference.
1) Please find my system info below
