https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Early_loading - kernel parameter and initramfs additions.
If it still fails, please post "sudo journalctl -b", no excerpt, and no "-x" (that's just spam that makes the journal hard to read)

Thank you very much. This has solved my issue.
Incase anyone stumbles upon this with the same issue. This is what I did.

I added a pacman hook for nvidia with the following:

sudo gedit /etc/pacman.d/hooks/nvidia.hook

[Trigger]
Operation=Install
Operation=Upgrade
Operation=Remove
Type=Package
Target=nvidia

[Action]
Description=Update Nvidia module in initcpio
Depends=mkinitcpio
When=PostTransaction
Exec=/usr/bin/mkinitcpio -P.

Then I created the nvidia-modprobe utility automatically invoking the nvidia-modprobe via

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-nvidia.rules

ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/bus/pci/drivers/nvidia", RUN+="/usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c0 -u".

Then I ran:

sudo gedit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm).

If any existing modules are in the brackets, leave them there.

Finally I ran sudo mkinitcpio -P and rebooted.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

The issue has come back. Here is the log.

I tried redoing the steps i mentioned prior but to no avail.

Did you possibly configure https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#Use_Xorg_backend and what if you don't?

No I did not. This is what is in the file.

# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
#WaylandEnable=false

[security]

[xdmcp]

[chooser]

[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true.

Also what you mean "and what if you dont" you want me to undo the steps i did to fix the issue prior?

"what if you dont" configure it to run on X11.
So, then why is GDM running on X11?

lsinitcpio /boot/initramfs-linux-xanmod.img | grep nvidia

and I could see possible interference from libvirtd/kvm, so you might try to disable that service and see whether that reproduces sane boots (you can still start it later, during the session)

Edit: and please also use code tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode - edit your previous posts itr.

I disabled libvirtd but still wayland wont work. Here is the log https://pastebin.com/F5EmJDVy

Also, what do you mean by

I installed arch with X11 first but im really confused by what you are talking about.
Should I change what GDM is running on? Can you tell me how?

GDM runs on X11, not on wayland. And it doesn't even attempt to.
You could try to explicitly enable "WaylandEnable=true" and please also post an older journal from when logging into a wayland session was assumingly working.

Log is too big to send anywhere, can you give me your email?

seth · 2022-04-03 15:22:13

No - and the log won't be too big either.
…

sudo journalctl -b -5 # assuming it worked 5 boots ago

boocheus · 2022-04-03 17:42:42

I just realized the issue...

Haha its so simple. I experimented with kde and hated it so i nuked it off my machine.

I must have uninstalled some needed dependencies for wayland becuase it was working while i was using kde. Which was only for 1 day.

Ill see if i can fix this without a reinstall but i wont hold my hopes up. Ill update the title when ive fixed the issue

Edit; ill have to resintall. Ill consider this fixed.
