Login Loop on MATE, cant log to desktop

jordicg · 2021-12-18 17:19:30

Hello community.-

Yesterday i have made a full update to the system, MATE, lots of things were actualized between them NVIDIA drivers and kernel. I have a NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 Ti video card. After the update i found myself with login at MATE, but even though i provide the correct password i see a black screen and then MATE login comes again, and i can do this forever, no matter if i login to root i cannot access the system. If i press CTRL + ALT + F2 and get tyy if i remember the correct name, then i type startx and i get correctly to X, if i type glxgears i can indeed see the gears, but my guess is that there is a problem with the Video Driver when i boot but not shure, could anybody help me please? Thanks in advance.

You get the 495.44 packages (utils and dkms) and use that version along the current kernel until nvidia releases a proper update.

Ftr, it's "tty"

Yes but i cant downgrade with downgrade from aur, because if i want to downgrade nvidia it tells me it depends on nvidia-utils and also on nvidia-dkms so if i do
downgrade nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-dkms and chose 495.44 which i have done already it says error the operation could not be completed libnvidia-egl-wayland already exists in file system it is part of egl-wayland and also egl_external_platform.d/10_nvidia_wayland.json already exists in file system it is part of egl-wayland Errors ocurred, not files actualized What do i do?

First of all, not using yay.
Also I don't understand how you intend to "downgrade from aur", you can get the 495.44 packages from https://archive.archlinux.org/ and install them (… with "pacman -U"…)
And if you still face problems, you don't paraphrase them, but post the actual I/O (the commands you wrote and the response from the system) so that we don't have to guess what you see to then guess how you might have gotten there.

I mean the downgrade package from aur not to downgrade with aur or yarn

Yeah, don't do that either.
Download the relevant packages (nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils, maybe lib32-nvidia-utils if you've multilib enabled) from the ALA, and install them w/ pacman -U
Make sure dkms rebuild the nvidia kernel module, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dkms

If you have problems w/ that, as requested before, please post the exact I/O you're facing
