It started after I updated my system at first it was just black screen then I tried switching display managers from sddm to lightdm . I also added greeter to lightdm config.
After the boot my system is in a state as in title. Please help

Update:
I managed to revert to sddm using chroot in live environment.
Now I only have black screen with nothing and I am able to switch tty

I solved it myself by reinstalling Nvidia drivers and optimus-manager

Can you boot the multi-user.target (2nd link below)?
If so, you can fix your graphical.target mess from there.

Then look into https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … _KMS_start resp. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LightD … TTY_output

If there're remaining issues, please post a complete system journal for a failing boot, eg.

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

for the previous one.
