[SOLVED] Gnome won't start after update

GertJan · 2017-06-07 12:16:08

A week ago I updated arch and shutdown my laptop. Next reboot I can't get gnome to start. I get the oops something went wrong screen. I tried to find the error using journalctl. There seems something to be with the KMS service or Xorg? I posted the logs to pastebin. Can someone point out where I need to look?

I'm running a Dell laptop with integrated graphics and a nvidia card

Apparently this mess

[2017-04-01 22:00] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Sy nvidia nvidia-libgl'
[2017-05-20 18:43] [ALPM] installed nvidia-340xx-utils (340.102-8)
[2017-05-20 18:43] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] If you run into trouble with CUDA not being available, run nvidia-modprobe first.
[2017-05-20 18:43] [ALPM] installed lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils (340.102-3)
[2017-06-07 10:49] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S nvidia-lts'

leads to

And some invocation of nouveau as well.

Oke, guess I made a nice mess of it.

I think I should start from scratch then. Is it safe to delete all nvidia related? And then choosing the Nouveau route using the wiki? Or is it wise to stay with the proprietary drivers?

You should pick the appropriate driver (for your kernel)

Start with providing

uname -a
lspci

so we can determine which driver you'd pick best.

From the journalctl

Jun 07 13:53:58 archlap kernel: Linux version 4.11.3-1-ARCH (builduser@tobias) (gcc version 7.1.1 20170516 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 28 10:40:17 CEST 2017

Jun 07 13:53:58 archlap kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: NVIDIA GK107 (0e7110a2)

lspci output is in post #1

Ok ;-)

Supported by nouveau and main nvidia module.
You either need to uninstall all nvidia packages or require nvidia and nvidia-utils (along libglvnd)

GertJan · 2017-06-08 07:10:54

I unistalled al the nvidia packages and installed the nouveau packages.

Everything is working again.

Thanks

Arch Linux
