[SOLVED]NVIDIA driver causes black screen at boot

Hi guys!
i've installed the following packages: nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils.
At boot i get stuck into a black screen and i'm unable to do anything, neither access to another tty.
The only thing i can do is add param '3' to grub boot parameters, do the shell login and uninstall nvidia drivers; with the nouveau the system boots perfectly.
I've tried to follow this guide but it did not work: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … X_shutdown

Re: [SOLVED]NVIDIA driver causes black screen at boot

Post your xorg log, maybe there is some info over there.

And your journal, though there's no empiric evidence yet, I'm leaning towards: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=238602

Re: [SOLVED]NVIDIA driver causes black screen at boot

Neither journal nor lspci suggest you've the nvidia kernel module installed. If you're drawing this from a session on the working nouveau module - that's pointless ;-)
We'll need a journal from a former boot where you had the nvidia blob installed.

Re: [SOLVED]NVIDIA driver causes black screen at boot

i can generate it by running the system at level 3, but i'm not sure the issue will be reported at this level.

Re: [SOLVED]NVIDIA driver causes black screen at boot

Just start GDM, switch to a VT and post 

journalctl -b

if you can't switch to a VT due to some weird freeze, reboot and post 

journalctl -b-1

instead. That said in the logs we do have there's no indication of an issue. Which further makes me inclined that it's the issue I linked to, I suggest you go through that thread, there are multiple ways to get around it discussed there.

Re: [SOLVED]NVIDIA driver causes black screen at boot

ohh yes!
Uncommenting "WaylandEnable=false" in /etc/gdm/custom.conf solved the problem, i did not need to downgrade systemd (i'm using the 239).
Thank you very much guys!
