My PC isn’t booting.
When I type startx in command line I get this error:
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
I didn’t change any config or log files prior to this.
Partial update state, unsupported kernel and kernel modules for your Nvidia GPU ?
From TTY run:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
after it finishes, then run:
systemctl reboot
That didn’t work, I’m still having same problem.
I don’t know what’s the reason for that error.
when you type startx, post picture of the whole message

ok nothing suspicious… provide also this log:

does this issue happens also with the 5.15 kernel?

and this:
it looks like its some nvidia issue…
try adding this parameter to your kernel (you can do it from tty):
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and in this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT - inside the quotes add this parameter:
ibt=off
dont remove anything from there, just add it to the existing parameters, save the file with ctrl+x, update grub with:
sudo update-grub
reboot and see if it helped
I still get same error. And I don’t know does the same issue happens with 15.5 kernel.
so try it out … if you dont have the grub menu shown during boot do this:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and edit this line to look like this (its the third from top):
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
save it with: ctrl+x, update grub:
sudo update-grub
reboot and in the grub menu/advanced options select the 5.15 kernel - not the fallback one…
of course you have to install the 515 first if you dont have it installed:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux515
It works. Thank you. Will I now need to pick 5.15 kernel in grub menu every time and if yes is there a way to set it as default?
no, it will remember the last kernel you booted with… the grub time out is by default set to 5 seconds, after that it automatically boots with the latest selected kernel - in this case the 5.15;
if you dont want to wait 5s you can reduce the timeout to 3s:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and edit this line to look like this (its the second from top):
GRUB_TIMEOUT=3
save it with: ctrl+x, update grub:
sudo update-grub
also boot again with the 6.0 kernel, then boot back to the 5.15 kernel and provide logs from the failed 6.0 boot with:
journalctl -b-1 -p5 --no-pager
maybe there will be some hint for it not working…
also check output from:
grep ibt /etc/default/grub
to verify that the ibt parameter is set
