[SOLVED] Nouveau not getting blacklisted - no screen found (ee) Xorg

astanwar99 · 2022-09-25 08:48:56

I installed nvidia driver using this documentation https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … phics_only
But xorg server is not working. The log shows "Failed to load nouveau (module does not exist)" and other modules like nv, fbdev and vesa, which then ends with no screen found error.

Although nvidia documentation shows that it blacklists nouveau, I followed this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … acklisting to manually blacklist the module.
All this doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

mkinitcpio -M still shows nouveau in the list and xorg log also remains same. lsmod shows nvidia module loaded.

Kernel version : 5.19.10-arch1-1
Nvidia version: nvidia 515.76-1
Graphics card: RTX 3070

How should I proceed from here? Thanks.

Post your xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General and a complete system journal (sudo journalctl -b), you can use the tip in the 1st link below to feed them into a pastebin service from the console.

Add ibt=off to your kernel parameters, see the note in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation

hi guys

I seem also to meet the same problem, and it's probably a bug of Nvidia driver 515.76. See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/75995

After downgrading the driver to 515.65, everything goes well again.

However, I do not know other solutions except downgrade at present.

Did you add "ibt=off" to the kernel parameters and what does the journal look afterwards?
Because https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/75995 is not what has been going on in the provided log.

Edit: #6 isn't OP, if you're meeting https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/75995 you do not have the same problem as the OP (for now)

I thought that parameter is only for 5.18. That aside I added parameter in grub, but nothing is visible now. Can't see tty or anything else.
Got these xorg logs through live usb: https://dpaste.com/CBB4CUM2Q

I also tried nvidia-open, same result as above.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74891 is still open.
There're no problems in that xorg log, you might be running into https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/75995 now.
Check the journal for "kernel: nvidia-modeset: ERROR: GPU:0: Idling display engine timed out"

So I guess, downgrading nvidia driver was the only option, which I did to 515.65.01. But for some reason the driver was not getting detected. It was not showing up in mkinitcpio -M and I was getting no screen error in xorg as before.
For reference,

Xorg: http://sprunge.us/ycOjzg

After trying for few times, I installed https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-vulkan, which is working now.
Thanks for all the help.

You cannot exclusively downgrade the driver, the installed version needs to match the installed kernel.
(So either you'd have to downgrade the kernel as well or use eg. an older version of https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … idia-dkms/ )
