[SOLVED] New installation boots into black screen

bubbless · 2022-10-13 03:23:10

ISO used was the October 2022 one and PC specs are NVIDIA RTX 3090, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, ASUS X570E Gaming mobo updated to newest available BIOS. Tried booting into linux-lts and after displaying the message

Starting version 251.5-1-arch
/dev/mapper/volgroup0-lv_root: recovering journal
/dev/mapper/volgroup0-lv_root: clean, 306462/1966080 files,
_

the screen just turns black. Ctrl + Alt + F# to switch tty didn't work, and chrooting into the install, journalctl has some output like so:

Reading the journalctl past this, there's a bunch of services failing to activate because they aren't being found. For example:

hostname systemd[795]: pam_systemd_home(systemd-user:account): systemd-homed is not available: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.home1.service is not found.

and then we have

hostname systemd-logind[764]: System is rebooting.
hostname systemd[1]: Stopping Session 1 of User username
hostname systemd[1]: Removed slice Slice /system/modprobe.
hostname systemd[1]: Stopped target Bluetooth Support.

hostname login[771]: pam_systemd(login:session): Failed to release session: Interrupted system call

Also, no idea if this is related, but lspci -k lists nouveau as the kernel driver in use for my GPU instead of nvidia.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!!

Which graphics drivers did you install?

All the best,

Hey HG, thanks for replying! I installed nvidia and nvidia-lts.

Have you looked at similar recent threads involving Nvidia 3000 series GPUs producing blank screens such as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=280402 or https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=280102

seth · 2022-10-13 07:01:14

If that's not it and we kindly ignore that this is the exact same boot sequence as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=280405 … you're also booting w/ IBT
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation

If neither, post the entire journal, not some random, edited segments. (See 1st link below)

Also, no idea if this is related, but lspci -k lists nouveau as the kernel driver in use for my GPU instead of nvidia.

Because you're (hopefully) not looking at the journal of the booted system, but a chroot.
lspci is however for the running boot.

Updating to new nvidia drivers with the version that was just released (520.56.06) fixes it! Marking as solved, thanks for the help
