[SOLVED] system hangs at Starting systemd-udevd version...with nvidia

hello all,

my nvidia 3060 came in today, so I uninstalled all amd drivers (proprietary and open source) swapped cards and rebooted.

the system booted into desktop, I installed nvidia, nvidia-utils, nvidia-settings
ran nvidia-xconfig
rebooted.

my system is now stuck at

Starting systemd-udevd version 253-1.3-arch

I can switch to a tty and log in via command line, but X is not loading it appears. i removed nvidia, nvidia-utils, nvidia-settings and rebooted. still stuck at same place.


I went back to the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA and noticed that we have to remove kms from HOOKS array, reinstalled nvidia drivers, removed kms, regenerated mkinitcpio, rebooted and no dice, still stop before X.

I added the DRM kernel mode setting from the wiki, no help
I performed the early loading from 1.3.1 in the wiki, no help
i added the pacman hook, no help.

I am at a loss. I didn't think adding an nvidia gpu would be this challenging. 

any ideas?

ran nvidia-xconfig

Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and don't do that again.

lsmod | grep nvidia

On a guess: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation - blue note, the thing about "ibt=off"
You'll have ENDBR errors in the dmesg/system journal if that's the cause.

If not
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

Re: [SOLVED] system hangs at Starting systemd-udevd version...with nvidia

it's not that simple. smile

since I only installed the nvidia drivers for the standard kernel, when I rebuild grub, it reordered to have LTS as the default boot option, therefore it was booting to lts kernel, no nvidia drivers. once I realized what kernel I was in, I booted to correct kernel, and viola, gui. I've since installed nvidia-dkms so the kernels will have the nvidia module.

solved.

dumb question #17593
why not run nvidia-xconfig again?

Because it produces a static server configuration (which is asctively discouraged because it's inflexible and potentially glosses over underlying problems) that is in the specific implementation also full of cruft and garbage (the referenced kbd and mouse drivers don't exist since ages)

Xorg has decent autoconfiguration and the config files need only be used to augment that with specific settings.
