Hi, I have a bit of a problem. I’m on Manjaro KDE Plasma kernel 5.15.65-1 and I’m trying to swap a GPU. System fully updated on the testing branch. Old GPU is GTX 2060, new GPU is RX 6650 XT. When I try to boot with the 6650, I don’t get past the “Reached target Graphical Interface” message. The GPU itself is good, I tried it in a Windows PC and it works. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong, please?
One thing I should probably mention. I didn’t uninstall the proprietary nvidia driver. Do I need to do that?
you should remove the nvidia drivers - and re/install the video-linux drivers …
you can do it from the stuck screen, enter into tty: ctrl+alt+f2 or f1-f6 keys, enter your username/password and use commands … if you dont know commands, post output from this command here: mhwd -li
Ok so the mhwd -li lists “video-nvidia 2021.12.18”. Well even I can see that this is not right. This is the one I’m probably supposed to remove, right?
maybe there is some conf that is causing it, provide output from: find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"
and under inxi -G check this: Display: x11 - if it shows this you are on xorg
It works! You’re the best, thank you. I love this community, always so helpful!
I took a look into that xorg.conf file before deleting and there were some nvidia-related settings there, so that was the problem. I’m just including this if someone ever comes across this post.
