I installed latest stable Manjaro then i used the utility to install proprietary drivers. After restarting it displays three loading rectangles of Manjaro then screen goes completely black. If i need to reinstall to fix issue how can i prevent this behavior? Maybe the utility installed wrong driver.
My GPU model is Nvidia GTX 1660 Super. Hope you can help about this.
I had also some black screen issues but it was when I switched back to nouveau drivers…
I’m pretty sure it’s an easy fix but I just don’t really know where to look…
I found this post (there’s also another one linked below) [Fix] System doesn’t boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message
I’ll try tomorrow for me…
Welcome to Manjaro!

Please read this:
How to provide good information
and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies… -
An
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time

Yup: wrong driver for the hardware you have.
-
Print this page so you have it as a reference while in TTY2
-
Log off
-
Switch to TTY2 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2
-
Log in there
-
Execute:
sudo mhwd --install pci video-nvidia
-
to ensure grub is showing, execute:
sudo nano --backup /etc/default/grub
-
Change (or add?) the following 3 lines:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=3 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 #GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
(3 or higher is fine, add the # before the lines above if those lines are present)
-
I would also remove the
parameter from
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
so you can see what’s going on… -
Ctrl+X Y Enter to save if there is anything to save
-
If you did save, execute:
sudo update-grub
-
Reboot
I was typed the inxi command with live usb since i was thinking can’t access tty. I forgot the right key combo. Anyway so i booted to the installed Manjaro. Then i deleted the nvidia driver with mhwd utility then reboot. As expected nouveau driver was working well. Then i reinstalled the nvidia driver. And after login with GDM(lightdm?) same black screen with cursor showed. Then i switched to tty2 guess what, gnome desktop right there.
So current problem tty1 spawns display server in tty2 weirdly.

Well after reinstalling the GDM my problem is solved. There is some 1 sec delay after login but it works. Probably because it is installed in HDD. Thanks for your interest @Fabby
