this was right after i uninstalled gnome-shell and all the other drivers i dont need {radeon and nvidia, because i need intel drivers}
i did install intel drivers after that
upon reboot, arch never got to my greeter.
tried opening a tty using ctrl alt f2, didnt respond.
and now i have no clue what to do
gnome-shell wasnt in use and nor was gnome's greeter

the only thing im truly absolutely sure about is the fact this computer is nvidia-free
ember arch

did you uninstall anything related to linux-firmware?
what are the exact commands you typed?
winter snow
what are the exact commands you typed?
sudo pacman -Rns gnome-shell vulkan-radeon vulkan-nouveau nvidia libnautilus-extension nautilus
all i remember
i know i put in a few more but i forgot the names
i'll try to find it in my history
sudo pacman -Rns xorg-server-xvfb
this one too
ember arch
gnome-shell is a dependency of gdm
winter snow
that might be a problem
winter snow
`gnome-shell` is a dependency of `gdm`
i uninstalled gdm
ember arch
and what greeter did you install?
winter snow
"tuigreet" is the only portion of it i remember
sudo pacman -Rns nautilus libnautilus-extension xdg-desktop-portal-gnome gnome-session gnome-shell
ember arch
what do you see on the screen? completely black? blinking cursor?
winter snow
what do you see on the screen? completely black? blinking cursor?
blinking cursor after the usual
/dev/nvme----: clean
thing
ember arch
do you have loglevel set in your kernel parameters?
winter snow
do you have `loglevel` set in your kernel parameters?
i dont think so
ember arch
does systemd print the green [ OK ] stuff on bootup?
winter snow
theres usually no logs unless i had recently gone into some sort of recovery, emergency shell utility
winter snow
does systemd print the green `[ OK ]` stuff on bootup?
no, it does not
ember arch
then you might wanna enable the logs
winter snow
blinking cursor after the usual
/dev/nvme----: clean
thing
it usually does this and then sends me into my greeter
ember arch
also you tried ctrl+alt+f2, did you also try f3 f4 etc?
ember arch
okay, first add loglevel=4 to your parameters
then boot into the arch iso and we'll be extracting the journal to see what's wrong
winter snow
okay, first add `loglevel=4` to your parameters
would that be in the options menu in grub
winter snow
then boot into the arch iso and we'll be extracting the journal to see what's wr...
cant, left my archiso usb at home
im booted into the fallback kernel rn
thats how im talking here
winter snow
yeah
ember arch
then do this
journalctl -b -2 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
and tuigreet works normally on the fallback kernel?
winter snow
yep
okay so let me just quickly say this
the boot before rn was also fallback
the boot before that other fallback boot was just regular
ember arch
then do this
```sh
journalctl -b -2 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
```
okay then do this
ember arch
yes
winter snow
what if you just do `mkinitcpio -P`?
[hour@hourfrozen ~]$ mkinitcpio -P

with sudo
ember arch
then do this
```sh
journalctl -b -2 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
```
can you also do
journalctl -xe -b -2 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
did it finish with no errors?
winter snow
did it finish with no errors?
a few possibly missing firmware warns but overall it was successful
ember arch
okay so the journal literally says nothing
which intel driver did you install?
is your system up to date?
winter snow
which intel driver did you install?
mesa drivers, vulkan-intel and a few others that were too weird for me to remember
winter snow
is your system up to date?
this might be a bit problematic
so i did a full upgrade and it exited with "One or more errors."
ember arch
show
winter snow
cant anymore, history is gone
ember arch
then try updating again
ember arch
how many packages are there to update/
ember arch
i'm asking about the packages
winter snow
oh
249
i dont have enough free space
when i made the partition for linux i made it only half of the amount of storage i actually had
ember arch
how big is it?
ember arch
how big is your partition?
winter snow
hold on lemme check
ember arch
do you take care of your cache?
winter snow
how big is your partition?
45GiB
winter snow
do you take care of your cache?
what do you mean by this
winter snow
no
ember arch
sudo pacman -Scc
should i run this now
ember arch
should i run this now
yes
ember arch
good
ember arch
why? internet?
winter snow
yep
winter snow
good morning, gonna try full upgrade again

winter snow
it seems like you haven't updated in at least two months
that would be correct, lost the power cable
i dont have nvidia tho so i just got confused when i first saw that
