[SOLVED] SDDM (Nvidia) not loading after kernel patch/upgrade

EDIT: This issue has been resolved.

---

This is a continuation of this thread where a Broadcom device was no longer being recognized after an update to kernel 6.1.4.  Following the installation of the patched kernel, systemd refuses to load SDDM.

I have booted into a live USB to chroot into the system to potentially finish a partial upgrade.  That didn't resolve the issue.

Output of pacman -Qs 'linux|nvidia'

dkms status produced nothing.

This is from the logs you posted in your previous forum thread - is that still accurate? This suggests no errors when running sddm.

That is still accurate.  What might be more indicative of the problem is that nvidia-uvm is failing to load.

For 6.1.1 (partial downgrade) and likely loqs' kernel as well (because of the naming scheme) you'll probably need nvidia-dkms and the fitting linux-headers package.

Installed loqs' linux-headers and nvidia-dkms.  It all works again now!  I have it running on loqs' patched 6.1.4.

Thank you all for your help!

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.

Edit: fyi, virtualbox has the same problem.
