[SOLVED] KDE Desktop enviroment broken after installing NVIDIA GPU Driver(s) | Arch Linux Community | Page 1

I'm using KDE Plasma 6 and I updated the Kernel & everything else not long ago, which caused a problem with when the operating system went into some sleep mode where the monitor turned off, the keyboard & mouse stopped working, and any usb devices connected after a minute, and I had to force restart, so to fix it we tried to enable some services according to the Arch wiki, I used an shell script online to see if it could help fix the problem, but apparently the drivers were not installed since it couldn't find the services, so I installed the nvidia driver from pacman, and running the script again was successful with the services, but it didn't fix the problem, and after a restart, the desktop enviroment had completely broke, as shown in the provided screenshot (I couldn't get a better screenshot since it had forced it into 800x600, despite my monitor saying it was 1920x1080, and I can't open anything because of it)

sorry if this isn't enough context, this is my first issue here and I'm rather new

limber gyro I'm using KDE Plasma 6 and I updated the Kernel & everything else not long ago, ...

The script you used is setup for the 460 driver

#

You don't need the script anyways, you just "systemctl enable" the required services and add the parameters then you're done

#

By the parameters, I mean adding a
.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d

alright, I didn't know which driver I had gotten, I'll try this next time I boot into arch

#

so from what I see, everything appears to be in its proper places

#

the conf file is there, the services are running, but the desktop environment is broken

#

and that appears to be the biggest issue now

#

So you broke your install?

#

Try pacman - Syu

#

nvm, I fixed it by enabling modesetting

#

somehow that got turned off from the kernel parameters, but I made a conf file and that fixed it

#

thanks for the assistance though

red talon By the parameters, I mean adding a .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d

So this was the issue all along? @limber gyro

#

Then I guess it's

#

... Solved
