I found the culprit:

Info from first post from @philm:

NVIDIA 550.90.07-2: nvidia-drm parameters are now set by default
With the NVIDIA 550.90.07-2 packages, the nvidia-drm modeset=1 and fbdev=1 parameters are now set by default…

When I boot my notebook Intel/NVIDIA combo with nvidia_drm.modeset=1 I can reproduce the same behaviour.
I guess we have to disable it on hybrid?
Anyone knows how to disable this new default configuration?

EDIT: Just updated again and rebooted with edited grub commandline: nvidia_drm.modeset=0. And it worked.
Is editing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub the best practice way or is there a better solution?

In the same boat with an Intel/Nvidia hybrid laptop. I switched to open source graphics drivers using mhwd and can get to the desktop at least. Had other problems so I’m on a fresh minimal Gnome install

24

I have my desktop back. Only change I made was adding nvidia-drm modeset=0 to grub as explained in the top post. Of course reloading grub after that.

Sorry had a typo: edited it in my post above: nvidia_drm.modeset=0

I encountered the next weird thing on my desktop machine (rtx4070):
When calling fastfetch in TTY: results in a blackscreen → switching to graphic session and back to tty solves this.
But with this issue I can’t say with certainty if it did exist before the update.
Maybe a problem in tty when querying GPU info?

PS: After a few tries I can pinpoint the problem: it occurs when calling the display module.

A post was split to a new topic: Vmware-horizon-client stopped working on KDE ever since Plasma 6 update

Thanks @v4mp123 . With your correction below, this fixed the issue for me too!

Just wanting to be sure I’m not doing something wrong:
when grub appears, you press ‘e’ and in the emacs editor, you write nvidia_drm modeset=0
and that’s ok, but next boot you’ll have to redo these operations?

On my laptop, even in a TTY, nvidia_drm is unknown command :frowning:

It worked in case of my optimus lap (nVidia GTX), I didn’t think I would find answer to it in this thread, I thought I’d have to reinstall OS.

33

Kinda. Add nvidia_drm.modeset=0 to your kernel parameters.

To make it permanent:
Append it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub
After that run update-grub

is it nvidia_drm_modeset=0 or nvidia_drm.modeset=0 or nvidia-drm modeset=0?

I found many differents syntaxes about it…

nvidia_drm.modeset=0

System behaves weirdly when sleeping.
When the computer puts itself to sleep after a period of inactivity, it does not go to sleep. It goes to a black screen with the cursor. I can type in my password and log in without issue, though it takes a moment.
If I manually sleep the computer using the button in the home menu, it hangs for ~40 seconds before booting me to the lock screen.

some select details from a neofetch:
Kernel: 6.6.32-1-MANJARO
Resolution: 1920x1080, 1920x1080
DE: Plasma 6.0.5
WM: KWin
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics (12) @ 4.464GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

Had issues with the same black screen as many others, tho i was not on a dual GPU Laptop and setting nvidia drm to 0 did nothing.

After deleteing the xorg conf for Nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
I was able to start it with startx but still no SDDM.

Upgrading my kernel from 6.6 LTS → 6.10 Exp did the trick tho

Running a pretty standard config and ran into the black screen issue after the update. nvidia_drm.modeset=0 in /etc/default/grub fixed it for me. Thanks a bunch!!

Are you able to do this before performing the update?

I’m holding the update for now until any issues potentially get worked out.

40

Here all okay.
Proprietary-Hyprid-AMD-Nvidia, and update on logout & tty no problem.
Grub Kernel Parameter nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 deleted, reboot and test sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset and sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/fbdev all Y.

For those having issues with NVIDIA…

EDIT: It seems the plan is to revert the changes with the NVIDIA drivers. Either myself or Phil will take care of it soon. :tm:
