Stuck at boot screen _

Support

Having an issue with a friend’s manjaro installation.
It gets stuck at the _ screen a boot.
I tried quite a lot of things so far, nothing worked.
I used chroot with a live usb to :

  • install latest kernel (6.6)
  • remove older kernels
  • reinstall nvidia
  • grub update

nothing works so far.
so I thought to post here, maybe someone can tell me what is wrong.
I suspect it’s an nvidia issue, but I might be wrong.
Anyway to debug this?

a bit of information I can get via chroot :

So … some odd things.

That of course.

I think this might be related to missing mhwd packages.

And also the fact that mhwd does not mention any nvidia profiles is weird - either installed or offered.

Also … kernel is 6.5 … and you have linux66-nvidia (and not linux65-nvidia)?

Also its version is mismatched as well:

So … how was nvidia installed before ?

In whatever case you should aim to make sure linux66 is installed, boot into it, and remove linux65 as it is end of life (and this will help clear up the mismatching going on)

ex;
update

sudo pacman -Syu

install kernel

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux66

Reboot.
Select 6.6.
You can verify running kernel with uname -a.
Then remove linux65

sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux65

OR

sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qsq linux65)

Oh and to double check the mhwd thing;

pacman -Qs mhwd

those inconsistencies are definitely from my efforts to fix it.

so, on the first two:

there was nvidia for sure. he has 6 monitors and it took us a while to make them work by tinkering the xorg.conf when we first installed manjaro for him. so I’m sure he needs nvidia drivers.

he told me the system got stuck after he was trying to update the kernel and he couldn’t.
so when I chrooted, the first thing I did is -Rdd a package that was stuck with an old dependency.
After that everything updated with pacman. But the problem persisted so I started trying other things.

I hope that makes more sense.

Sure.
linux66 is available on all branches … so maybe try to sort mirrors first;

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu

Note: It is possible if you have an old mirror pool that it is stuck with very outdated mirrors.
To reset it you can do

sudo pacman-mirrors --country all

Thanks for helping out.

It doesn’t seem to be able to find it.

Does that help at all?

I recall mhwd-kernel failing when I was running a custom kernel. Maybe this is a similar situation.

Its of no real matter, at least for now.

You can hopefully still install using pacman;

sudo pacman -Syu linux66 linux66-headers

Ops. Looks like you got it.

I would still like to see the output of

pacman -Qs mhwd

Because I feel some packages are missing.

just to clarify, I’m on the live usb now, and the terminal you see is after doing manjaro-chroot -a.
so when it says “6.5 running” that’s the usb one, right?

The command you gave ran just fine.
Do I try to boot into the normal installation now?

( takes 10 mins for the whole process and for me to get back here on the browser, so I’m careful rebooting now :smiley: )

That would be an issue.

Some core packages are missing.

Ex on my system;

$ pacman -Qs mhwd
local/mhwd 0.6.5-28
    Manjaro Linux Hardware Detection library and application
local/mhwd-amdgpu 19.1.0-1
    MHWD module-ids for amdgpu
local/mhwd-ati 19.1.0-1
    MHWD module-ids for ati 19.1.0
local/mhwd-db 0.6.5-28
    Manjaro Linux Hardware Detection Database
local/mhwd-nvidia 545.29.06-1
    MHWD module-ids for nvidia 545.29.06
local/mhwd-nvidia-390xx 390.157-9
    MHWD module-ids for nvidia 390.157
local/mhwd-nvidia-470xx 470.223.02-1
    MHWD module-ids for nvidia 470.223.02

So you should make sure to install the missing ones, which are namely the nvidia ones.

sudo pacman -Syu $(pacman -Sqs mhwd-nvidia)
13

I removed those probably, I thought it’s old versions.
And I thought that installing nvidia again would install everything it needs.

Anyway.

So, I ran the command.
This is what I have now:

/ > pacman -Qs mhwd                                                                                                                                                                              7s root@manjaro-i3
local/bmenu 0.20-1
    Bash scripts providing a collection of terminal applications in a simple UI
local/mhwd 0.6.5-28
    Manjaro Linux Hardware Detection library and application
local/mhwd-amdgpu 19.1.0-1
    MHWD module-ids for amdgpu
local/mhwd-ati 19.1.0-1
    MHWD module-ids for ati 19.1.0
local/mhwd-db 0.6.5-28
    Manjaro Linux Hardware Detection Database
local/mhwd-nvidia 545.29.06-1
    MHWD module-ids for nvidia 545.29.06
local/mhwd-nvidia-390xx 390.157-9
    MHWD module-ids for nvidia 390.157
local/mhwd-nvidia-470xx 470.223.02-1
    MHWD module-ids for nvidia 470.223.02
14

Now mhwd might work as expected;

mhwd -li -l

I don’t remember using conky, so we can get rid of it. for now at least.

2 d’s to skip all dependency checks.
Normally dont do this … but removing conky really cant hurt, and we can replace it in a moment.

sudo pacman -Rdd conky
