Stuck at a black screen after bootloader

[solid pebble]

I am currently having the issue where my laptop is just stuck at a black screen after the bootloader. All I see at the top left of the screen is “_”. My laptop is dual booted, with Arch Linux and Windows, although Windows works perfectly fine. I’ve done quite a bit of research and tried everything I know to fix this, but I am having no luck.

[split plinth]

send ur boot parameters in ur bootloader

[solid pebble]

Alright I will

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1"

@split plinth

[split plinth]

well these are not ur boot params but its ok

remove loglevel and quiet and boot

so u can see whats happening

[solid pebble]

It’s been like that

[solid pebble]

Mk

[solid pebble]

What will it change

[solid pebble]

@split plinth

I did what you told me to remove, yet all I see is just this

I do not see any messages of some kind

All I see is this

[split plinth]

U need to regenerate grub config before

[solid pebble]

That’s what I did

[solid pebble]

I regenerated the grub config

[solid pebble]

If you don't mind me asking, how good are you with sddm?

[solid pebble]

@fathom orbit

[fathom orbit]

@solid pebble what de/wm are you on?

[solid pebble]

KDE (X11)

[fathom orbit]

try wayland

[solid pebble]

I have

How this happened in the first place was because I went into the boot config

[fathom orbit]

@solid pebble remove those nvidia kernel params

and switch to the nvidia-open packages

[solid pebble]

How would I do that?

[fathom orbit]

pacman -S nvidia-open

[solid pebble]

What do I do after that?

I'm currently on windows for now

[fathom orbit]

remove those kernel params

[solid pebble]

From here?

[fathom orbit]

yes

[solid pebble]

Wouldn't it just be this then?

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet"

[fathom orbit]

yes

[solid pebble]

alright then

[solid pebble]

Imma do this tmmrw at school and I'll get back to you with the results

[solid pebble]

Ok I installed this

[solid pebble]

And changed it to this

[fathom orbit]

what kernel are you using?

[solid pebble]

6.11.3-arch1-1

[fathom orbit]

now reboot

[solid pebble]

I am still getting the black screen

[fathom orbit]

try the lts kernel

[solid pebble]

What is lts?

[fathom orbit]

pacman -S linux-lts

lts = long term support

[solid pebble]

Oh I see

Wayland works but X11 doesn’t

Also I don’t think nvidia open installed…

I get the same error

[fathom orbit]

remove the lock

[solid pebble]

How would I remove it?

[solid pebble]

Oh wait

It says it there

[solid pebble]

It’s stuck

When I try to install it

[fathom orbit]

@solid pebble press enter

then reboot

[solid pebble]

It gives me a crap ton of errors

No wonder

[fathom orbit]

sudo pacman -Syu, then reboot

[fathom orbit]

update, then try to install the packages

[solid pebble]

That’s what I’m currently doing

But its failing to update right now

So now I’m updating again

Ok I was able to install nvidia-open

With no issues

Didn’t do anything though

I’ve tried loading X11 with and without the sddm

But I still get the same issue

So I can’t load the x server
