I did removed all previously mentioned files.
and what will potentially happen - will it make a config file on boot automatically?

yes it should recreate it …
Removed, all the same. All commands (startx
, startplasma_x11
, sddm
) fail with errors.
No luck. Something bad seems to happen.
Is the only solution to downgrade nvidia
driver?
Deleting configs or reinstalling video-nvidia*
through mhwd
does not help, I haven’t encounter such an issue for a long time.
so try removing also:
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf
reboot
and post output from:
mhwd -li
$ mhwd -li

Also, plasma taskbar disappeared and NO video signal to external monitor.
(seems like one thing breaks another)
why do you have installed nvidia470xx, when there are available the latest hybrid drivers?
so uninstall nvidia:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-470xx
and install these:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime
then reboot
Would a general sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 300
worth to try in this case?
you already tried that and look what it got you …
It backed to old scenario: stuck on boot with no login screen.
Bypassing with startplasma_wayland
again (to write this message).
Does it require specific prime
or optimus
settings?
I remember that tried both of them in past years, but none seemed to work flawlessly: after some system or kernel update troubles with nvidia had floated anyway.
damn… you had at one time installed optimus, since there was a config of it…
so i suggest to try installing video linux drivers:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-linux
and uninstall the prime ones:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime
then reboot and try only with intel video drivers, if you still have the same issue
Done, but no effect, no login screen.

the modesetting should be uninstalled with the prime drivers, very strange…
so uninstall it also:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-modesetting
reboot
that also seemed contradictory for me, as I remember, executing sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
(or 0302
) pulls in modesetting
automatically.
yes should be removed… so did it help?
No. No effect.

Done. No change.
(though /.local/share/kscreen
is a folder)
Really annoying trap.
yes i thought deleting the folder would help…
also whats the output from:
find $HOME/ -name ".Xauthority"
