Xorg doesnt start after changing kernel

Support Graphics & Display
1

Moved from 515 to 510.

ITS SOLVED: Turns out using 5.10 kernel was the issue. Using kernel 5.14 and reinstalling drivers with mhwd worked.

X will not start, tried a bunch of different things

Followed this guide archlinux(dot)org/title/AMDGPU

  • Make sure you have the latest linux-firmware package installed. This driver requires the latest firmware for each model to successfully boot.
  • Make sure you do not have nomodeset or vga= as a kernel parameter
  • Check that you have not disabled amdgpu by using any [kernel module blacklisting]

but now i feel I’ve screwed thing up pretty bad. Details below:

Please let me know what i can do to recover, Ideally, I’d like to learn from this and not reformat. I’ve also updated and messed up all the configs in /etx/x11/xorg.conf.d/*

I’ve also tried using the manjaro mhwd tool to install the correct drivers, but that doesnt seem to work either.

cheers

No drivers for your card so X can’t start. Are you sure you not blacklist amdgpu? What you have when you try manually load driver via modprobe and then start your DE?

EDIT: Show also what drivers you have installed mhwd -li – the correct and defalut for amdgpu should be video-linux.

3

this card worked perfectly fine after installing manjaro from the live USB at 5.14 kernel (downgrading cause a bunch of issues)

mhwd -li output

e[1me[31mWarning: e[mNo installed USB configs!

I’ve also manually edited the mkinitcpio and added amdgpu as a module in the list.

SOLVED.

Looks like i had some missing keyboard / lib input files after mucking around… this thread was able to fix my issue.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237968

This indicates you did something to mess up your amdgpu drivers.
And also installed vesa.
Please remove vesa, and reinstall video-linux profile for open drivers (properly - through mhwd)

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Configure_Graphics_Cards#Force_Reinstall_a_Driver

EDIT

This also indicates something about removing things haphazardly…
mhwd and its driver installation would have made sure you had xorg-proto and libxxf86…
And they should never have been removed, as they are dependencies of X and Mesa.
Libinput, on the other hand, is entirely unrelated and basically handles your mouse.

After uninstalling vesa and installing videi-linux with mhwd, the following shows

Yeah, to be fair im still learing about these underlying modules and their dependencies, its a pretty hard thing to troubleshoot when you are looking across all forums etc. Thanks for helping though. Appreciate it.

Did you restart ?

Actualy, first, just to be sure … please:

sudo pacman -Syu

Yes, rebooted.

No packages to update.

Also, I can run startx in a tty2, but the main tty never passes the

This seems like again the amdgpu module is not loading.

Oh wait … theres this … what is in there ?

Also to note, the files arent in /etc/x11.

They are in /usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d/

Are you sure this video card doesn’t need a higher kernel than 5.10 too?

12

Oh, jeeze, I suppose I never checked. I assumed since the kernel was LTS, that this wouldnt be an issue.

Well! Would you look at that. Looks like 5.10 was the issue. Reinstalling 5.14 seemed to do it.

However, it still shows ATI here…

:point_up_2:

//EDIT: but yeah, there are two drivers loaded, try to clean up the configs you added.

14

Please remove 10-radeon.conf

15

For posterity I will leave these:

head -n -1 -- /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

head -n -1 -- /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

(these will print the contents of all files, with filename tags)

PS - I notice your X11 is used multiple times as x11. Do take care with cases in *nix systems … they matter.
