Hey everyone,
i have been trying to get my nvidia card (GTX 950) to work with proprietary drivers, but it just seems to refuse to do so.
When i have installed those proprietary driver "nvidia" my system seems to get stuck at screen " /dev/sda3 clean..." and with blinking underscore.
So i could not just remove that driver, so i have inserted arch live usb and mounted accordingly all partitions, removed "nvidia"
package and installed "xf86-video-nouveau" and "mesa" packages. Arch now seems to work but i want proprietary driver as everything now seems to be 'slowed down' or 'laggy'.
Here is the dmesg i took while chrooted from live USB: https://textuploader.com/d2tgb
Here is the lspci and lspci -k : https://textuploader.com/d2tg3
Best regards and thanks in advance!

Welcome to the arch linux forums beyondLIFE. Was the system configured to start X or Wayland on boot? What does the journal from the boot that failed show?
Offline
Thanks,
i seem not to be able to get that journal from boot that failed or i am maybe doing something wrong. If you can direct me i would be grateful. I have tried with jorunalctl -b but seems not to be able to get it.
Here is journalctl -b from chroot i got: https://textuploader.com/d2tp1
Please consider that i am now in working enviorenment but with nouveau driver.
I am not 100% sure and i am ashamed, but i am pretty sure that i am not using Wayland, cause i have installed XORG. But i am not sure how those two are related.
Thanks again!

Now that you are in the working system see if you can find a boot that had the nvidia module loaded.
journalctl -b #is the current boot
journalctl -b 0 #is the also the current boot
journalctl -b -1 #previous boot
journalctl -b -2 #two boots ago etcSome display managers start Wayland by default others X. Is the system using a display manager or set to autologin into X on boot or is it supposed to just give you a console?

I am using GDM,
here is the log i believe is one 'with' nvidia drivers: https://bpaste.net/show/f5a95a0fa509

Just, i was unable to switch to another tty.
For the record, same thing happens with KDE Plasma.

How is KDE Plasma started? Did you try configuring GDM to not use Wayland?
Offline
Plasma was started by SDDM,
however now when i started X manually, it worked.
Thank you alot for answering and patience.
Now comes the question what caused the problem, i hope you might be able to tell from that position, but i know that is very difficult with so 'weak' informations.
Anyways it is late and i will try to figure myself tomorrow.
Thanks again!

After you have tested configuring GDM to use X and seeing if the issue persists will help diagnose the cause.
As will logs for SDDM and the log for the working manual invocation of X.
