GRUB and intel drivers are fine it seems (detecting resolution and stuff)
tty2 is fine so I can still investigate.
sddm says
DAEMON: Failed to read display number from pipe
DAEMON: Display server failed to start. Exiting.
I tried adding:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
to /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup since I'm trying to do PCI passthrough using IGPU.
addtionally, I added intel in the device in the Xorg.conf file.
is there anything I can do ?
Thank yoU!

The output of dmesg, the contents of Xorg.log if SDDM is starting X not wayland. What display is connected to what GPU?
Offline
Tried manually starting X.
ends with error: (EE) Server terminated with error(1).
Since I don't have access to the PC, I'll just print the (EE) on the log that was generated.
(EE) No devices detected.
(EE) Fatal server error:
(EE) no screens found(EE)
(EE)
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support.
The dmesg is very long to type out manually. I'll try to figure out if I can ssh into that to provide more detail!
I have Nvidia GPU on the motherboard, but the screen is connected to the motherboard directly since I'm trying to work out if I can passthrough the GTX1070 and use the intel iGPU instead. It worked fine until I regenerated mkinitcpio.

List_of_applications#Pastebin_clients see the tip box (bit confused by you not having access to the system)

Thank you for that. That made it much easier!!
Here's the dmesg output.
Thank you so much for your help!
This is the Xorg.log

just to make sure, modprobe.d has the line
disable nouveau
inside it.
Edit: also, Sorry about the confusion. I meant I have access to the system, but only tty2-7. not the DE that I'm used to...

What is the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

Disable /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try starting X again.

Wow!
Thank you so much for your help!!
I followed the 'disabling xorg before GUI startup' under xorg wiki and set the kernel parameter to rescue.target, but it didn't help.
Then I just renamed the xorg.conf file to xorg_bak.conf so it doesn't load, and voila, it worked!!
Thank you so much for your help!!
If you don't mind me asking for one last time, how did you arrive at the solution? If I encounter any similar or different problem, how do I diagnose as you did and arrive at a solution?
Thank you so much!

From Xorg.log
[ 8.218] (EE) No devices detected.
[ 8.218] (EE)
Fatal server error:
[ 8.218] (EE) no screens found(EE)
[ 8.218] (EE)
in the xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce GTX 1070"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Those sections require the nvidia GPU to be present and screen to be connected to the nvidia GPU when X can not match that configuration it triggers the Fatal server error.

spelling and not anda

huh, thank you for the explanation. that cleared up nicely! I guess i should've seen that...
I guess i'm on default xorg.conf then. I already had a intel conf inside the xorg.conf.d directory that I created when troubleshooting this, I don't know if that helped in any way.
Thank you so much for your help and super fast reply!! You've been enormously helpful, thank you!!
