Xorg doesn't start after Nvidia driver installation[SOLVED]

brainlag · 2020-03-20 16:36:06

Hello archlinux forum,

I am new to Arch. While following the post installation guide, i just tried to install the proprietary drivers for my 1060 3gb with the command:

sudo pacman -S nvidia

after that, Xorg doesn't start anymore. I don't use a dm and i have only one GPU and no onboard graphics.

my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Edit: Didn't run pacman -Syu before the installation and didn't read the rules. Shame about me!
