Problem with fresh installation manjaro

[anon89812132]

Did you boot the installer with proprietary drivers or free, did you enabled autologin by chance?
Your Nvidia GPU will work with proprietary drivers, but in most cases Gnome requires you to enable early kms

Switching to Nvidia drivers from Nouveau with mhwd fails

sudo mhwd -r pci video-linux then sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia On gnome you might have to enable early kms. As administrator edit the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and make the MODULES= line like this MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm) then run from terminal: sudo mkinitcpio -P sudo update-grub Also, you probably have autologin on and is trying wayland session and not always starts (at least on my end does funky things)
