I am unable to reboot into a wayland session after update. I have to use x11. Not sure how to troubleshoot this ?
Moved to a dedicated topic.
Start with providing some system info.
[Mini-HowTo] Provide System Information
Basic details provided by *-fetch type apps might give enough information for someone wishing to buy a computer, however, for Support purposes it’s best to ask your system directly.
Output of the inxi command will generate more useful and detailed information for those who may wish to help:
Suggested inxi command (use either):
inxi -zv8 |
(short-form) |
inxi --filter --verbosity=8 |
(long-form) |
- man inxi (The
inximanual)
Command output should be presented as pre-formatted text in accordance with forum guidelines. ![]()
Running inxi within a chroot environment
- Add
--color=0to the long-form command, or… - Change the short-form command to
inxi -zv8c0
Your privacy is respected
[Mini-HowTo] Present code or command output
Note: Grave accent (or, backtick) characters are used. ![]()
For inline code or to show a single command:
- please follow this simple example:
code here.
For multi-line command output:
- place text beween two rows of three (```) backtick characters to form a scrollable text box, or …
- use the </> button in the Compose window to achieve the same result.
The empty row between these rows of backtick characters is where to paste any multi-line command output (such as inxi).
An example of a pre-formatted text enclosure:
What is a Quark?
A. In Physics, an elementary particle and fundamental constituent of matter.
B. A character from the Star Trek: "Deep Space Nine" television series.
C. A soft, creamy, usually unsalted cheese traditional to central Europe.
I installed update but when I reboot into wayland it hangs up. I can log into X11 but not wayland. After several reboots and logging out of x11 and I can get into wayland but can never just reboot into wayland.

I’m a guru
Does that help troubleshooting my issue?
It does provide the basic info needed to start finding issues, yes. ![]()
In the meantime, I’ve tidied this thread up a bit ![]()
Thanks I really appreciate your help
Your system is already old, and the same is true for its Nvidia graphics adapter. I’m afraid your graphics adapter isn’t supported by any of the current proprietary drivers that support Wayland.
To be honest, i don’t think running the proprietary driver would yield any usability benefits on a machine of such low power in this day and age, so perhaps you should consider switching to the GPL’d nouveau driver instead.
Thought Linux was good for old computers. So when wayland goes mainstream I will have to toss it ?
GNU/Linux is. Nvidia on the other hand is a notoriously bad player, and their drivers are proprietary. Furthermore, if you’re buying Nvidia, then you’re buying planned obsolescence.
No, you can use the nouveau driver instead — see my previous post. nouveau is Free Software and is already in the kernel from upstream.
Use open source driver and it should be better than ?
Yes, indeed.
+1 for trying the free driver.
Go to manjaro settings manager → hardware and under nvidia select a free opensource driver instead of the proprietary 470.
I used auto install open source drivers which was sucessful but under video-nvidia-470xx shows installed but not open source. It shows video-linux as installed and open source ,video-modesetting,and video-vesa as open source but not installed
I wouldn’t bother with the VESA driver — it’s for hopelessly outdated hardware. video-linux is the one you need. Uninstall the proprietary driver.
how to uninstall nvidia driver?
I figured it out right click ftw
Ill try rebooting into wayland fingers crossed
Should be no need to cross fingers. I have one old Dell with an old nVidia GPU, it works perfectly with the Open Source Driver.
Thanks tracey
Its works but Brave and chromium browsers dont work. Firefox luckily works !
