GDM doesn't open until I shift to tty and back
I have shifted from Debian to Arch today on my IdeaPad 14ARE05. When the laptop boots up, GDM doesn't open until I go to some tty and come back. I tried installing haveged and putting `random.trust_cpu=on` in `/boot/refind_linux.conf`. It didn't help.

Enable early KMS for the kernel driver in question: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … _KMS_start

Re: GDM doesn't open until I shift to tty and back
You didn't mention it, and you didn't forget to rebuild the initramfs with mkinitcpio after making the relevant adjustment? Post the makepkg.conf and
lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-linux.img | grep amdgpu
sudo journalctl -bin

I'd not rebuilt initramfs. That solved the problem. Thanks a lot. Do I have to do that after every kernel update?

Technically yes but that happens automatically on updates.

So I only need to pacman -Syu on regular basis?

Re: GDM doesn't open until I shift to tty and back
Yes, if a kernel update happens mkinitcpio will be automatically executed and as long as you have that conf the relevant module integration will happen.
If this is [SOLVED] please mark it as such by editing the title in your first post. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … ow-to-post
