I installed Manjaro 20.2 on my Asus Zenbook UX433FN laptop. Since the laptop has both CPU and GPU (Nvidia), I selected nonfree drivers while installing (otherwise it wouldn’t boot to Manjaro live). After installation, I cannot boot normally and it loads a blank screen. But if I boot to initramfs-fallback, it boots normally. At first, I tried installing Nvidia drivers, but mwhd seemed to do it already yet I’m not certain the Nvidia drivers are correctly installed.
I tried rebuilding all boots using
sudo mkinitcpio -P
or more specifically the initramfs boot using
sudo mkinitcpio -g /boot/initramfs-5.4-x86_64-fallback.img
I also reinstalled and updated grub using
sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1
sudo update-grub
None of the attempts work and the problem persists. If anyone would suggest a solution, I would much appreciate it.
