[SOLVED] switching from nouevea to nvidia-dkms stuck at boot

SOLVED summary:
I previously had Optimus Manager installed, which interfered with the Xorg pre-start setup.
This issue led to the X server failing to start and prevented the display manager from launching. Removing Optimus Manager resolved the problem, allowing the X server to function correctly and enabling the display manager to start without issues.

As the title suggests, I was trying to swtich from the open source nvidia driver nouevea to the proprietary nvidia-dkms (the one I went with).

First, I did not modify /etc/default/grub to append nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and then run:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I was able to boot, but simpledrm was activated (resoution significantly reduced) and nvidia driver not loaded.

Running this at runtime fixes everything:

sudo modprobe nvidia_drm modeset=1

I tried this /etc/modprobe.d/ method (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … odprobe.d/), which did not work for some reason. It would not load at boot time.

When adding appending nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and calling:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I was stuck on clean /dev/sda1.

When switching to the tty (which keeps switching every 3 seconds or somethign back to the clean /dev/sda1), this log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log caught my attention:

It seems odd to me that nouveau is included in any way:

Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
Assigned the driver to the xf86ConfigLayout
LoadModule: "nouveau"
Warning, couldn't open module nouveau
Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)
LoadModule: "nv"

I'm using lxdm as my display manager.
any suggestions on how to proceed?

Neither of those are what I asked for, and running lspci from the live USB won't help. Boot normally and switch to TTY2 or boot directly to multi-user.target

Re: [SOLVED] switching from nouevea to nvidia-dkms stuck at boot

"Neither of those are what I asked for"
I genuinely do not understand, do you mean to run it all as a separate command?

So I ran both in the tty now and the same output came, except for:
lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

The error line at the beginning is not included.

Re: [SOLVED] switching from nouevea to nvidia-dkms stuck at boot

So there is no driver in use for some reason. Do you have nvidia blacklisted somewhere, in /etc/modprobe.d/ maybe?

Try `modprobe nvidia`, maybe it errors out?

Notice on the -Qikk output that you were missing that last line previously

AH! So you're booting an old kernel, what does pacman -Q linux show? If it's the same version, this is a partial update problem, you need to fully update your system. If it shows a different version, you're booting the wrong kernel, usually because /boot wasn't mounted when you updated.

Why are you no running 6.6.3-arch1-1 ?

Edit: are you trying to do this from a chroot after booting the install iso?
