@bogdancovaciu I’ve done as you suggested and removed video-linux & reinstalled video-nvidia
for posterity, could you edit the “-F” to “-f” as this is the correct flag
unfortunately i’m still having the same issue

@gog on the #manjaro IRC suggested i add MODULES=“nvidia nvidia-modeset”
This didn’t change anything as far as logs etc
[jpycroft@ManjaroRGB ~]$ cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES="nvidia nvidia-modeset"
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS=(base)
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap consolefont filesystems fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
#COMPRESSION="zstd"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()

I haven’t touched /etc/X11/ apart from to look since install about a week ago.
systemd-modules-load.service is an early boot service that loads kernel modules. It reads static configuration from files in /usr/ and /etc/, but also runtime configuration from /run/ and the kernel command line (see below).
See modules-load.d(5) for information about the configuration format of this service and paths where configuration files can be created.
It depends on nvidia, nvidia_modeset & nvidia_uvm, so it might be denied because it’s dependencies are denied?
Also, do you know of anything in /usr that systemd might be reading?
I’ll try your mkinitcpio stuff.
I’m not interested in wayland tbh, too buggy and i don’t see the advantage?
Since @person1873 tested the nvidia-dkms thing, i wonder if that is still present in the system and it creates some custom stuff, but i honestly have no clue. I always avoided dkms stuff …
I had bublebee & primus installed as i was using my APU for linux and was going to do virtio passthrough later on.
but decided to swap to my nvidia GPU for linux and not run windows trash.
the blacklist was in /etc/modprobe.d/bublebee.conf
I’ve now uninstalled bumblebee/primus and deleted the bumblebee.conf file
