Updated Manjaro to the latest today for the first time in a couple of months. I didn’t watch the update as it was 3-4Gb of downloads etc, but at the end it seemed to be ok. After reboot, Xorg no longer loads.
I’ve put some logs up on pastebin. From googling, the problem seems to be that it can’t find the nvidia or nvidia-drm modules as shown in the Journal logs. But I’m not sure how best to fix it without making it a lot worse. I’ve already tried a mkinitcpio -P without any success.

Any ideas?

Try to install the previous driver.
sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime
sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-prime
Output of mhwd -l and mhwd -li could be also relevant as well as mhwd-kernel -li
//EDIT: or you could try forcing reinstall of Nvidia hybrid driver sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime
//EDIT2: give the output of any command you try so we can see what is going on.

So you have a hybrid system but the Intel card isn’t seen in MHWD?
Then try that:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-linux
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia
//EDIT: OK you have two Nvidia cards so I guess that’s why it is not as expected to me. So I’m not sure if you should remove the video-linux driver…

Originally I used the Intel card, but when I moved to multiple displays I changed it to the Nvidia. Its years ago now, so I can’t remember if I disabled it or not. I later added a second Nvidia card to try get a third display working again after I had to replace the monitor and it had a different connector type. Never got that working, but thats another days work.
In the interim, here’s some additional output. I’ll try the video-nvidia install at least and see how it goes

Yeah just try to force reinstall the driver
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia
if it doesn’t work, remove it then try previous driver.
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx
//EDIT:
:: removing libxnvctrl breaks dependency 'libxnvctrl' required by conky-lua-nv
You will need to remove conky-lua-nv in order to be able to install drivers. You could reinstall it afterwards.

Untracked files in the system, you used external driver installed manually now your system is a mess, am I guessing right?

So wipe and reinstall would be best?

No you could overwrite the files, but I’m not sure of the command with mhwd. Simple solution would be to manually delete these files with sudo after you uninstall the driver (which should be uninstalled). But at this point it is on you I can’t guarantee it is proper procedure, these files may be part of another package you installed that the system doesn’t “know”.
What I would do, but it is wrong, but I would still do it, for each file sudo rm bla/bla
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libEGL_nvidia.so.0
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libGLESv1_CM_nvidia.so.1
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libGLESv2_nvidia.so.2
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libGLX_nvidia.so.0
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libcuda.so.1
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libnvcuvid.so.1
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libnvidia-encode.so.1
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libnvidia-fbc.so.1
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libnvidia-ml.so.1
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libnvidia-opticalflow.so.1
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler.so.1
Remember this is not proper solution, you might break something, and there might be a better proper real solution.

So I deleted those files, did the install, and it looks like once installed it went into a mkcpioinit. That eventually completed but with the following text

I then went for a reboot, but it doesn’t reboot fully and I can no longer get to a prompt via Ctrl-Alt-F2 and pinging from another device doesn’t work. Looks like its messed up beyond a level of time or effort I’m willing to spend on recovering it. I’d pretty much decided before I tried it that I was going to wipe it anyway since there looks to be a tonne of crud built up over the years, and there was nothing on it that I’m worried about losing.
Thanks for all the help. Really appreciate it despite how it ended.

I don’t think removing the remaining Nvidia files cause the issue you had when reinstalling the driver. Anyway if you decided to reinstall then do it and never install something outside of Manjaro repositories without understanding everything as a general rule.
Also you can always access your files from Manjaro live USB (and even work on the system from live USB with the help of manjaro-chroot, but I think you already decided to not continue working on it).
I will select your last post as solution unfortunately.
