Manjaro stuck on boot clean / files

[Jdam]

Booting stops on black screen with:

/dev/nvme0n1p2: clean, 375397/6406144 files, 7386159/25600000 blocks

Same as:

• Stav

I can ctrl + alt + F2 to run a shell and perform tasks.
When I remove nvidia drivers with:

sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia

and install:

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

Its start my desktop view, but when i reboot PC, i get this message again:

/dev/nvme0n1p2: clean, 375397/6406144 files, 7386159/25600000 blocks

and need to reinstall nvidia drivers like before.

$ sudo mhwd -li

there was a recent post with the same issue you have, he had to reinstall video drivers everytime he booted, otherwise he would end up stuck at the clean display… the reason was, he had installed bumblebee/bbswitch … so post output from:
ls /etc/modprobe.d
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"
pacman -Qs 'bumblebee|bbswitch'

[Jdam]

Thanks for quick respond.

➜  ~ ls /etc/modprobe.d              
blacklist.conf  mhwd-gpu.conf
➜  ~ find /etc/X11 -name "*.conf"    
/etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf
➜  ~ pacman -Qs 'bumblebee|bbswitch'

local/primus 20151110-9
    Faster OpenGL offloading for Bumblebee

What is a solution for this output should I uninstall it?

[brahma]

first provide output from this:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

[Jdam]

@brahma

cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

➜  ~ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist iTCO_wdt
blacklist iTCO_vendor_support

I add those lines, because I saw this topic

[brahma]

ok so they are for disabling watchdog… so uninstall the bumblebee:
pamac remove bumblebee lib32-primus primus
reboot and that should fix the stuck screen issue

[Jdam]

To be sure, I restarted my computer twice, but still I have change to tty2 and install drivers. Tty stops on cleaning/files.

[brahma]

so post again output from:
ls /etc/modprobe.d
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"
pacman -Qs optimus
inxi -G

[Jdam]

➜  ~ ls /etc/modprobe.d
blacklist.conf  mhwd-gpu.conf
➜  ~ find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"
/etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf

Maybe this is a problem now? I have PC

Optimus laptops

[brahma]

you have also optimus installed
so remove it:
pamac remove optimus-manager
reboot
