Boot Stuck on [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.

Here are some information:
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070
Driver: nvidia-dkms-525.05.05-1

Logs:
$ journalctl -b: https://pastebin.com/GYPn60UJ
$ lsmod: https://pastebin.com/H2Bsgruf
$ pacman -Q: https://pastebin.com/MDkre6RQ
$ dkms status: https://pastebin.com/2L7QdyiZ

P.S it worked until I reinstalled xf86-video-vesa

Re: Boot Stuck on [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.

Your nvidia modules are blacklisted and you are prepping them for a VFIO PCI passthrough which makes them unavailable for the host system and there are no signs of any other GPU being present.

Has this ever worked before or did you randomly try to set this up and now blocked yourself from booting? Remove the vfio params and the nvidia module blacklist. Boot with the systemd.unit=multi-user.target kernel parameter to get to a cmdline.

If there were GRUB updates you probably will have wanted to reinstall your GRUB with the appropriate grub-install invocation as the post-install message GRUB issues warns you about since there might be incompats between grub-mkconfig generations and actual grub payload.

You'll likely have to fix this from a live disk chroot.

Re: Boot Stuck on [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.

Which error? If you logically remove nvidia from your linux host by setting up vfio and blacklisting the module then you are expectedly not going to able to get a graphical environment up on your linux host, this isn't really further surprising. What was/is your end goal here?

What? A VFIO setup doesn't set itself up, you need to know what you did. Which instructions did you follow to try and set up a VFIO passthrough (... and FWIW which instructions did you use to install Arch Linux?)? You need to remove the vfio kernel parameters and the blacklists check

grep -iR nvidia /{etc,usr/lib}/modprobe.d

and remove the files blacklisting nvidia modules.

V1del thank you so much

Btw how can I learn more about Linux and fixing those issue on my own?
