From the date I am assuming the OP ran into this problem after updating to NVIDIA 387.22-1: I can confirm that I had the same error.
A few hours later NVIDIA 387.22-3 solved that problem (which in my case meant that I reverted to another error that has nothing to do with this thread).Did you try that newer version of the driver ?
Yeah, tried the new build and it works for me as well.
]]>@euromatlox:
nvidia-387.22-3 is the latest version in extra, as you can see here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia/
I assume by "As i can see" you mean you are using pacman to check.
Its possible that the mirror you are using is out of date.
See https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ for the status of mirrors and the link from above to see the current version of packages.
For me this new NVIDIA driver caused X Windowing to stop working (no screen available).
Since the other branch driver nvidia-340xx also supports my card (NVIdia GT 710) I switched to using it instead.
I am wondering if they are about to remove some cards from that Latest Short Lived Branch, and put them to Legacy branch.

]]>Are you all having nvidia modules in your initramfs and neglected to rebuild that?
@tinko thanks for popping iin here as well, sorry to mod hat you again, but could you wrap terminal output in [ code ] tags instead? Makes the post more readable.
]]>Hello, today my machine (P50 with nVidia Quadro M1000M) failed to boot to graphical target with the usual mode (Discrete Graphics) enabled in BIOS. It does work with Hybrid Mode enabled, though. I use proprietary nvidia drivers. Here are the versions:
yaourt -Q | grep nvidia
multilib/lib32-nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-5
multilib/lib32-nvidia-utils 387.22-1
extra/nvidia 387.22-1
community/nvidia-cg-toolkit 3.1-4
extra/nvidia-settings 387.12-1
extra/nvidia-utils 387.22-1
extra/opencl-nvidia 387.22-1
yaourt -Q | grep xorg-server
extra/xorg-server 1.19.5-1 (xorg)
extra/xorg-server-common 1.19.5-1 (xorg)
extra/xorg-server-xephyr 1.19.5-1 (xorg)
extra/xorg-server-xwayland 1.19.5-1 (xorg)[/quote]
yaourt -Q | grep gdm
extra/gdm 3.26.2-1 (gnome)
extra/libgdm 3.26.2-1
with systemd.unit=multi-user.target I was able to boot to tty and I wasn't able to start the xorg-server with startx or xinit either, so I don't think it's an issue with gdm.
Here are some Log-lines that stood out

Here is the full log of one of the boots in which I attempted to resolve the issue by getting package updates and tried to start the graphical session manually [[...]] indicate lines, that I edited for privacy reasons: https://pastebin.com/R6rDNDPB
Here is a pastebin-link of the Xorg.0.log https://pastebin.com/xKJgUh6u .
I tried to resolve the issue with a pacman -Syu and got some nvidia-stuff but the issue persisted.
I can't think of any change I made to the system before the first failure to boot to the graphical.target. It is likely though, that I ran pacman -Syu before the last reboot, because I get updates daily. With Hybrid mode enabled, the xorg-server works, my lsmod (with the working state) is:
lsmod | grep nvidia
lsmod | grep i915
i915 1683456 22
i2c_algo_bit 16384 1 i915

Update
I installed testing/linux and testing/nvidia without updating anything else. While this broke other stuff (as expected from this mixing of packages) and didn't allow me to boot to graphical.target, it did allow me to startx from tty in multi-user.target, so I guess the issue might be fixed, once those get to out of testing.

Please post the output of
pacman -Qs nvidia
pacman -Q linux
uname -a
How do I launch kde without launching sddm?
Same problem, lightm and gts450.
nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layoutworks again after downgrade.
OK, at least good to know I am not the only one with this problem.
]]>works again after downgrade.
]]>nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
but I have rebuild the module several times now. Why does it still complain?
