[GAVE UP] Failed to boot after installing nvidia driver

[feral crow]

Are you able to access a TTY with ctrl + alt + F[2-6]

If you're able to, try deleting the xorg configuration you made, also, you don't need to manually blacklist nouveau

[solemn hearth]

usually you can run nvidia-xconfig rather than making the config yourself unless you're doing specific options. Furthermore, I would also check if you're modsetting the nvidia KM'

[solemn hearth]

sorry what is the nvidia km

[solemn hearth]

Kernel module

[solemn hearth]

ah sorry missed your message, i can't

[solemn hearth]

how do i modset nvidia km?

[solemn hearth]

did you already dkms install for nvidia

for your kernel

[feral crow]

That should have been done automatically

[solemn hearth]

yes

if it is, then they need to check if that is even loaded into their kernel

[solemn hearth]

right i'm not very sure

i'm now on usb installation media

mounted

well looks like i haven't

[solemn hearth]

are you able to access a TTY?

[solemn hearth]

it's not booted yet, i suppose no

[solemn hearth]

Just because it hasn’t booted in your terms doesn’t mean it cannot access a TTY

[solemn hearth]

then i can't

i've removed the nvidia drivers now

not sure if i want to do it again

[solemn hearth]

Are you aware of what a TTY is

ye

terminal

alt ctrl f2

xorg uses the first tty1

i mean kde

or whatever

There are multiple TTY sessions

Not only one

7 ig

So if you cannot access one I would recommend chroot’ing into the system and bringing up the log of your previous boot and find the error for failing to load kernel modules or even change your loglevel to a higher level to debug which one is faulting

Using that knowledge you an isolate if the module is missing or just not being loaded
