[SOLVED] Xorg not working after update

So i changed my ram(i put it in the wrong slots) and after that my audio stopped working. So i tried to reinstall some packages - for example pulseaudio and updating some stuff. After all that i rebooted my computer and linux was stuck on /dev/sda cleaned...
I'm able to change screen and login but i cannot start kde (startx not working)

Here im putting xorg.conf

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg not working after update

"updating some stuff." Classic partial update problem.

Update the entire system or nothing. You can't just update some things.

[  1266.147] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the

i was trying to uninstall nvidia drivers but still no results

"Do or do not. There is no try."

Please post your pacman log and the system journal. Also remove the xorg.conf (never a good idea) and see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … de_setting (pay attention to the early KMS suggestion and try that)

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg not working after update

That's a different problem, mark this one as [SOLVED] and open a new one and include the outputs of

dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'
aplay -l
amixer -c0 #Can differ, post the index of the internal soundcard you want, if it shows up in the aplay output
#If using pulseaudio
pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
