Re: [SOLVED]cant boot into command line

if i got any update from nvidia or linux-ck i know i will get black screen so after black screen i cant do anything because command line will not show so i need to  renistall arch again

This doesn't make any sense.

If you can boot a liveCD to reinstall, you could easily chroot into the current installation and roll back your packages. Why on earth would you reinstall?

Re: [SOLVED]cant boot into command line

You should take some precaution before any update, like a system backup. If it'll fail to wotk, the you will start a live image and try to get your system back to previous state. Maybe clonezilla will fit the task.

Re: [SOLVED]cant boot into command line

At the grub boot menu press "c". Type ---> systemd.unit=multi-user.target acpi=off

Hit esc key and enter

systemd.unit=multi-user.target starts Arch in runlevel 3

acpi=off turns off acpi in the kernel which was causing the blank screen.
