System will not boot on 1st try after recent updates

Support
1

As the topic says Manjaro is not playing well with others and not booting on 1st try. The system starts and Manjaro logo comes up, but system is hung. I force a reboot 3 times. ( yes it gets hung 3 times). Finally on the 3rd try the system Loads and goes into the normal GUI environment (KDE Plasma)
This is a stand alone Linux system. Where do I look to find what the cause is?
Let me know what information is needed. I want to get this back to normal. At first I thought it was going to self recover but that no longer seems to be the case.

Appreciate any advice :slight_smile:

See if this is helpful;

Relevance: Testing and Stable branches.

Please see the Stable Update 2025-03-24 announcement, under Known Issues and Solutions; specifically, the item System may hang during splash screen when Nvidia 570 drivers are used:

See the linked item for a workaround.

Regards.

Additionally, please post system information as described (below) using preformatted text (see link indicated :eyes: - also below).

Welcome to the Manjaro community

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:

Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

System Information

Output of this command (formatted according to forum requirements) may be useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form:

inxi -zv8

Be prepared to provide more information and outputs from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.

Well looks Like I am another victim of the 570 driver.
I knew the 565 driver was no good when I was attempting to use Bazite.
So I need to downgrade the video driver.
I was able to run the commands above but unable to post the contents.

Relevant part I believe:

Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070 Ti] vendor: eVga
    driver: nvidia v: 570.133.07 alternate: nouveau,nvidia_drm
    non-free: 550/565.xx+ status: current (as of 2025-01; EOL~2026-12-xx)
    arch: Ampere code: GAxxx process: TSMC n7 (7nm) built: 2020-2023 pcie:
    gen: 4 speed: 16 GT/s lanes: 16 ports: active: none off: DP-2,HDMI-A-1
    empty: DP-1,DP-3 bus-ID: 2b:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:2482 class-ID: 0300

So next is a driver downgrade.

Thanks,

Going to mark this as closed :slight_smile:

1 line change later

#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=‘quiet splash udev.log_priority=3’

Just commented this out and all is well :slight_smile:

That wasn’t the intended resolution.

The problem is Plymouth vs. Nvidia - Plymouth (the three dots) has been a bad player for a long time with (especially older) Nvidia product.

In general, when asked for inxi output, please provide it in full, regardless of what you might think is relevant.

The operative premise of the resolution directed to was:

To mark a post as a solution to an issue, the procedure is to click Solution under the post that helped you the most.

We usually expect you (the OP) to do this.

In this instance I have done this for you.

I notice you are a new member.

Please read the information previously given with regard the expected presentation of code and command output.

I have corrected it for you this one time; in future you are expected to do this yourself.

Regards.
