No graphical display with an Nvidia card

yes you can add kernels + headers + linux515-nvidia

can you try this:
add on boot kernels thes parameters
“amd_iommu=on iommu=pt processor.max_cstate=5 rcu_nocbs=0_11 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=true scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1”

on file /etc/default/grub
line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=

sudo nano /etc/default/grub
sudo update-grub

On /etc/default/grub I already have the line
GRUB_CMDLINELINUX_DEFAULT=“loglevel=3 quiet”
…should I delete the part after “=”?

sudo update-grub added Windows :grinning:

no you keep , and ADD as line kilometer with space

OK.

I don’t know how to add the other parameters you wrote.
I know that i can edit the file before I start linux. Just seems to be a little bit complicated because there is much code for every kernel. My idea is to edit only 5.10 because I’m using this usually…

Is this the right way to edit/add the parameters?

I did it now this way: I add your written parameters at this position: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="…your writen parameters" after the other parameter that i enabled again.
I did this again:

sudo update-grub

and did a reboot.
I don’t see a difference. But i see know text messages while booting.

so you reboot

  1. have you grub screen on start Y/N ?
  2. do you see any blinking cursor on left up corner ? Y/N
  3. can you return inxi -Gxx ?
  4. can you return sudo systemctl status sddm.service ?
  • I can see the grub screen with the options to start Manjaro, a certain version from Manjaro, Windows or the BIOS settings
  • When Manjaro starts i can see many text lines and a cursor at the low left corner. Last message is “Finished TLP system startup/shutdown”. After that i can switch to the console using CTRL + ALT + F2
inxi -Gxx

May i find a solution here: Kernel mode setting - ArchWiki

can you check theses points
return for each

nvidia-smi
nvidia-settings -q all
xrandr 

nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info
sudo pacman -S mesa-utils
glxinfo | grep direct

can you tell more about your screen ( CRT , CFP , TV ) and link ( DVI , HDMI , other )

I’m currently putting the text messages into files that i will copy and paste here using windows at the same computer.
This is my screen: FUJITSU Display P27-8 TS UHD : Fujitsu Global
I’m using HDMI for my computer. There is Windows and Manjaro installed.
I’m also using the display port input for my Fujitsu port replicator. This input will be used when i connect a notebook to the port replicator. When I’m starting Windows at my computer i can change between my computer (HDMI) and the notebook (Display port).

That is maybe a problem

I deleted 20-nouveau.conf.
Manjaro is starting again :star_struck: :star_struck: :star_struck:

Thank you especially maycne.sonahoz and stephane
