XORG keep crashing and kicking me to tty

Ever since I’ve installed Manjaro on my machine, I’ve got crashes for XORG and kwin_x11 every once in a while. It kicks me to tty and I can’t get plasma to work again, until I restart the machine.
Here is the journalcountrol from the last crash:

Looks like you’re using the open-source nouveau driver, may I suggest maybe trying the nvidia driver. I suggest using Manjaro settings manager to install it, and then if successful, reboot, be sure to select X11 session before you login (you can try Wayland, but in my opinion it’s not ready for prime time).

3

I’ve tried using them but I got black screen every single time. I’ve tried to find how to turn on DRM for it, and after reading around trying to understand it, I just became more confused. Do you have an idea how to turn it on?

4

nvidia-drm is part of the modules, you do not have to do anything, except install the drivers/modules the proper way, and eventually, if your system “requires” it, to enable early KMS.

Open MHWD and remove all the installed drivers except video-nvidia then run from terminal:
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia

5

I followed your steps but it only got worse. Accordin to grubs it gets stuck on

[  OK  ] Reached target Graphical Interface

And according to info -Fxxxi the drivers are N/A
By the way my card is Nvidia GTX960

6

I should stop giving advice then …

That can only mean that the driver was now properly installed, or something that was not mentioned was done on your system.

Already noticed that, have the same GPU and no issues regardless the kernel or DE.
Please provide from terminal:
mhwd -li
ls -a /etc/X11/*
cat /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf

First of all I would like apologize about it, I freaked out because it’s not my machine, but my work’s machine. You are helping me alot and I would have reinstalled the entire machine if it were for you.

Secondly, the commands you asked for

Ok, all this looks somehow in order. But now i wonder about this files:
/etc/modprobe.d/mhwd-gpu.conf
that should have:

blacklist nouveau
blacklist ttm
blacklist drm_kms_helper
blacklist drm

and /etc/modules-load.d/mhwd-gpu.conf that should have:

nvidia
nvidia-drm

And all to be in order, i would go by:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-linux
sudo mhwd -r pci video-modesetting
sudo mhwd -r pci video-vesa

just to be sure, and then run

sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
and then
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux60
Reboot into that kernel and see if things improved.

What intrigues me is this part of your conf:

No HorizSync and no VertRefresh ?!?! Might want to try different port for the main Monitor before doing the above.
Then you could try to use this /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf instead, but pay attention to the note in Section “Monitor” !!!

Hi, I have done what you had asked me and here are the results:

For both mhwd-gpu.conf files, all the text had already been there but I had removed a space above both of them.
For all the mhwd -r files, I got that the config is not were not installed before the command.
Pacman had nothing to update, I’ve changed to linux60 and removed bothe the kernel and the nvidia-linux515 from my system.
I’ve copied pasted the entire config file you had sent, but sadly I currently can’t change port, because I only have hdmi cables at home. I’ll ask to borrow a VGA or DVI cable tommorow morning from my local computer store. I’ve changed the port on the screen and it did nothing.
The screen doesn’t have neither HorizSync nor VertRefresh because it’s an old Samsung SyncMaster T260HD. It’s an old but great 16:10 screen.
I had noticed that I ran into the same problem even if I try to load the non free drivers for the Manjaro Kde live enviroment.
But I had noticed that sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia do give some errors while installing. Maybe this from this the problems come from?
The things that caught my eye were mostly that modprobe couldn’t insert neither nvidia nor nvidia_drm to the system.

Is there a chance it’s not working because I have don’t activate KMS?

try adding the ibt parameter:
open this file:
kate /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 existing parameters, save the file, update grub:
sudo update-grub

now open this file:
kate /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
and edit the modules section to look like this:

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)

save it and run this:
sudo mkinitcpio -P

reboot and see if you can boot with nvidia

I’ve added the modules you asked to mkinitcpio.conf

# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES=""

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap consolefont resume filesystems fsck"

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
#COMPRESSION="zstd"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()

# MODULES_DECOMPRESS
# Decompress kernel modules during initramfs creation.
# Enable to speedup boot process, disable to save RAM
# during early userspace. Switch (yes/no).
#MODULES_DECOMPRESS="yes"

But the second one is weird

well it is weird, the command looks ok…
but now remove these:

sudo rm /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf/nvidia.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf/redUsb/winpython/WPy64-31080b5/python-3.10.8.amd64/Lib/site-packages/alabaster/theme.conf

uninstall nvidia:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
install it again:
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
reboot:
systemctl reboot

19

Should I had removed the entire nvidia.conf directory?
I’ve done all the commands but I still get stuck on

what do you mean directory? the

sudo rm /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf

is not a config file, but a folder?

21

Yes it was a directory for some reason
