X crashes since most recet update

After updating this morning X has crashed a few times. This is the relevant update from /var/log/pacman.log.

Of note is the complaints regarding nvidia. I never got those drivers to work after install, had to boot with nomodeset and change to using nouveau.

Though it seems nouveau is the thing that actually crashes. I dont know how relevant the error above is. Below is "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log"

Not sure what the next step is here. Is the nvidia error a red herring? Are there a more commands I need to run when the driver packages update, mkinitcpio?

Re: X crashes since most recet update

I 'd say rerun mkinitcpio -p linux as root.

Re: X crashes since most recet update

Did that now, from the looks of it it's the same output as pacman got:

Is that nvidia error safe to ignore? I have a gut feeling the cleanup is incomplete after the swap from nvidia to nouveau. Anything more I should uninstall or remove?

Re: X crashes since most recet update

The error only happens because you actively added the nvidia module to your config, you can remove it, but it is technically safe to ignore as it isn't present.

Indeed it looks like nouveau crashes, if it only happened with the update, downgrade the kernel and check whether you've found a regression here.

FWIW are you actually sure that you switched to nouveau? If you've indeed changed your mkinitcpio.conf to include nvidia and you didn't update the kernel since, at least the kernel module will still have been present and you did either boot with no hardware acceleration at all, or your nvidia drivers actually worked correctly (... and you forgot to uninstall nvidia-utils)

In what way did the nvidia drivers "never work" ?

Re: X crashes since most recet update

Indeed, /etc/mkinitcpio.conf still had MODULES=(nvidia), removed that word and now mkinitcpio runs without errors. I had forgot about that file. Did a reboot after.

So regarding nvidia never working, after initial install i booted to a completely black screen. Rebooted and added the "nomodeset" parameter, since this worked, I assumed it was graphics related and swapped from nvidia to nouveau by uninstalling and installing relevant packages. Though apparently the swap wasnt as clean as I thought. After this though, I could boot fine and went on with the rest of the setup. Didnt think more of it until today. Checked just now with "sudo pacman -R nvidia-utils", getting target not found. 

Here's lsmod output:

➜  ~ lsmod | grep nvidia
➜  ~ lsmod | grep nouveau
nouveau              2375680  5
mxm_wmi                16384  1 nouveau
ttm                   118784  1 nouveau
i2c_algo_bit           16384  2 i915,nouveau
drm_kms_helper        253952  2 i915,nouveau
wmi                    36864  5 alienware_wmi,dell_smbios,dell_wmi_descriptor,mxm_wmi,nouveau
drm                   581632  10 drm_kms_helper,i915,ttm,nouveau
agpgart                53248  4 intel_gtt,ttm,nouveau,drm

So I'm fairly certain I have indeed switched. Any way to make extra sure?

As for downgrading, it doesnt crash often so right now Im more interested in figuring out whats wrong and potentially help fixing. Though I guess I should start by running a day or two on yesterdays version and see if the crashes go away.
