Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

Enable KMS by adding

nvidia-drm.modeset=1

to your kernel parameters.

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

Thank you V1del for answering!

I tried it but it is not working. any other idea?

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nvidia-drm modeset=1"

# Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"

# Uncomment to enable booting from LUKS encrypted devices
#GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

Re-read what V1del asked you to do - you have a typo.

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

nvidia-drm.modeset=1

nvidia-drm modeset=1

Do you see the difference between what V1del told you to add, and what you actually added?

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

Thank you for showing me the differences!

but still not working.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=nvidia-drm.modeset=1

maybe something to do with fn key of macbook, or screen resolution?

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

If you think that's right you'll need to re-generate grub.cfg

friend thank you for your time.

I have done it. and rebooted the laptop,
but it do not work. I have searched it on the net, some people talk about screen resolution.
I tried that also, without success, I thought that I could find the solution here

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

That's a hybrid system, try to enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … _KMS_start for the i915 module
Also be sure to read up https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

I would like to thank you all for the time spend with my questions.
It more complicate than I have expected. I will leave as it is, without TTYs.

thank you all.

Re: No TTY with nvidia drivers.

You *will* have to deal w/ the optimus config one way or another - regardless of the TTY situation.
"more complicate than I have expected" won't be the answer…
