[SOLVED] Nvidia Can't Find Screens

CaptainKirk · 2014-10-13 11:28:07

I rebooted and now X won't start. Here is my Xorg.0.log file: http://pastebin.com/4tkgegjv

I tried downgrading nvidia to 340.32 from 343 but I get the same error. My pacman cache shows that in Aug and Sep I had 340 and in October it went up to 343.

Not sure what to do now....

Do you have nvidia-libgl installed? The missing file belongs to that package which is a dependency of nvidia.

I tried to reinstall it but X still won't start. I just decided to switch to nouveau so that I can get my PC back.

Thank you, however, for responding.

Interestingly I had (and still have) seemingly identical issue with LTS kernel. It does not happen with regular kernel so I am booting using that for now.

Maybe it is related to this:
https://www.archlinux.org/news/nvidia-340xx-and-nvidia/

As NVIDIA dropped support for G8x, G9x, and GT2xx GPUs with the release of 343.22, there now is set of nvidia-340xx packages supporting those older GPUs. 340xx will receive support until the end of 2019 according to NVIDIA. Users of older GPUs should consider switching to nvidia-340xx. The nvidia-343.22 and nvidia-340xx-340.46 packages will be in testing for a few days.

So, you probably have to remove the NVidia 343 package, and install nvidia-340xx.

No, it looks like the kernel module isn't loaded. Figure out why.

azzido · 2014-10-15 00:58:39

I updated LTS kernel and nvidia kernel modules to latest and X with LTS kernel is working fine again.

Yes, that was precisely it.

Thank you!
