[CLOSED] Blank Screen on NVIDIA proprietary driver

ipgd · 2022-09-30 07:51:11

Hi There,
Been 4 days trying to install NVIDIA proprietary but I didn't make it.
I hope you can help me.

Here is my info

So confuse and headache.
I must back and forth between

pacman -Rns nvidia

and

pacman -Syu nvidia

All three outputs show the nvidia driver is correctly loaded and initialized in every aspect.

Xorg stops immediately, but that is likely due to what you intend to start. What are you trying to start and how are you trying to start xorg? Post your .xinitrc in doubt. as well as a

sudo journalctl -b

after attempting to start xorg.

That's the default .xinitrc are you sure you want to run that? you'd need to have xterm, xorg-xclock and xorg-twm installed for that. You should also create and use a normal user to start xorg rather than using root.

It works with nouveau.

Yeah. After NVIDIA proprietary driver works, I will add more feature. Right now, with everything the same and have basic functionality/feature, why nouveau works and NVIDIA proprietary wont ? If I add more feature It is more difficult to track the problem.

There's no error here, are you autostarting the startx? Does it start to work if you try a second time/after a delay? This might be up to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting and especially the early loading again.

ipgd · 2022-10-04 07:55:20

No I didn.t

Here are the log after adding drm and early loading.

lsmod | grep nvidia
Xorg.0.log
journalctl -b

The posted logs lack the modeset display timeout messages though (unless my text search is completely off), but I guess it wouldn't hurt to rule that out.

Thanks for your response, let me grasp it.
Seems advance for me.

There's no error anywhere, the (dated) xorg log show the server up and running on the only GPU (nvidia) and there's an output attached.
I suspec the only issue here is "your" xinitrc.
What's the output of

type twm xclock xterm

I'm sorry for late reply.
This is
the result

seth · 2022-10-22 12:35:28

Ok, those are (now) installed.

How blank is the "blank" screen? Is there a cursor or an underscore? Does the monitor say that there's no signal?

Did you meanwhile run any updates?

ipgd · 2022-11-08 03:25:32

There is nothing.
Monitor dont say anything.
Seems like on but shows black screen.

seth · 2022-11-08 08:21:40

Can you then switch to another VT (ctrl+alt+f2,f3,f4,…)?

If I switch to another terminal it is still blank.

Thank you for your response Sir.
Sorry for late response.
