I have a box with a similar problem to that reported by laptop users seems related to nvidia and Linux 3.10.
The best solution seems to be rollback but I cannot login to do so. The box uses slim with .xinitrc running exec startxfce4, after login screen the system is unresponsive and x does not start.
I tried from a live cd, to change the .xinitrc file to prevent it trying to start x but cannot save due to file permissions.
How can I get to a cli?

If you chroot https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_Root you should be able to do anything you want.
You can downgrade, edit .xinitrc, make sure systemd logs you into the console and not automatically into X etc.

Thank you. chroot has always a a dark art for me, but I learnt something new.
At least I have got to the point where I can correct the errors, so marking this as solved.
