My current situation: https://files.catbox.moe/gzv6bc.mp4
As you can notice in the video, after displaying the vendor logo, the screen flashes/flickers and then GDM shows up.
My current installation is from a malformed Manjaro-architect installation that I had to fix myself since apparently it’s no longer supported.
I’m on kernel 5.12.rc5.d0328.ga5e13c6-1 with nvidia proprietary driver 460 and a gtx 950. I already tried downgrading to an LTS kernel (4.14.227-1) or changing the bootsplash theme for systemd-bootsplash
, but the issue persists.
However I managed to conclude it’s GDM because LightDM doesn’t present this issue, and restarting GDM with systemctl restart gdm.service
from tty2
produces the same screen flicker/flashing.
Is there a way to remove the flash/flicker?
