Re: [SOLVED] I3wm logout just go with blankscreen

with the same modules as #23, here is the output from multi-user:
nvidia-smi : https://ibb.co/1vCP63r
lsmod : http://ix.io/2VJI

also it seems like my intention was unclear, so this is just in case, but the uninstall of nvidia packages was just to see if the problem still persist without them, but if it still a no then okay

Re: [SOLVED] I3wm logout just go with blankscreen

If you remove those packages, the nvidia GLX module won't be loaded and X11 won't crash - I can predict as much.
This also holds for subsequent server starts, so your original issue will be gone as well - but you won't be able to use the GPU.

The GPU responds to nvidia-smi and neither acpi_call nor bbswitch are loaded.
This is either a massive bug in the nvidia driver or a massive installation fuck-up. You didn't symlink around libraries or install the nvidia driver from their webpage or something like that?
Post

ls -l /usr/lib/libgl*
pacman -Qikk nvidia-utils

and also the xorg log from one of those failed lightdm attempts…

also, i haven't installed bbswitch packages as i didn't come across a statement that it is a necessity, and another piece of information that maybe useful is when i "sudo mkinitcpio -P", there'is some warning of possibly missing firmware for module wd719x, aic94xx, and xhci_pci

Re: [SOLVED] I3wm logout just go with blankscreen

The intel driver somehow ended up being incompatible w/ likely mesa (partial update?) throwing  everything else off.
Does the original problem remain?

Re: [SOLVED] I3wm logout just go with blankscreen

the original problem seems to be resolved, and no i always run pacman -Syu, and every packages i ever installed were either from official repo or aur. but does it mean now i will only use nvidia and can't do hybrid?

Check glxinfo. But in general not.

You "might" in case, after removing the i915 module, the intel chip is late but the nvidia one is there and the server decides to use just that.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] I3wm logout just go with blankscreen

i think i can still do hybrid, as

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

output is Mesa Intel(R) Xe Graphics, and

prime-run glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

output is GeForce MX330.

but overall thanks for all the help, really appreciate it, and I've already marked the thread as solved.
