Stuck at /dev/sdb2 when booting

so uninstall the 517:
sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux517-rt
install normal 517:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux517
systemctl reboot
and also did you change something in bios?

I installed the linux517 kernel and it still stuck at Reached graphical interface
I did change some stuff in the bios but that was a month ago so i donā€™t think it matters now

can you check in bios if secure boot is disabled, also disable RAID and enable AHCI ā€¦
also what is the output from these commands:
test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios
sudo efibootmgr -v

Secure boot and raid were already disabled and AHCI was already enabled
For test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios it says efi

For sudo efibootmgr -v

looks good, try deleting the /xauthority file:
rm /home/yourusername/.Xauthority - replace ā€˜yourusernameā€™ with your actual user name, then reboot:
systemctl reboot

that doesnā€™t have seem to fixed it but I have to go rn, iā€™ll brb in about an hour and 30 mins

all right when you back could you post output from:
journalctl --boot=0 --priority=3 --no-pager

and when did it started to happen? did you install something, uninstall, changed settings, etcā€¦?
also try running upadate with: pamac update

I installed the NVIDIA drivers and then rebooted. Thatā€™s all I can remember

all right post output from:
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

all right so remove these:
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf
systemctl reboot

Warning: No installed USB configs!

ok since you have only nvidia card use only nvidia drivers, so remove those linux drivers with:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-linux
then reboot
and thats it, youre good to go
