[SOLVED] Black screen after installing nvidia package

Druidroyalt · 2023-11-15 08:15:38

Hello there,

I just finished installing arch on my system (with an nvidia GT 660). But when i installed the nvidia package and rebooted, i got a blank screen right after grub.

I also installed xf86-video-nouveau.

How can i do to get it working ?

GT 660 is kepler and needs the nvidia-470xx branch that's only in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nvidia-470xx-utils

Ah yes i forgot about it !
Thanks i'll try that

I installed the nvidia-470xx package but i still get a black screen after reboot.

Do you have an integrated GPU? can you try to explicitly disable it in the BIOS/UEFI? Can you boot a live disk, chroot in and post

journalctl -b

Druidroyalt · 2023-11-15 13:30:55

This is already the case. To debug i switch to the IGPU, do what i need and reboot on the graphic card.
I just have one problem, i don't know why but every time i boot with a live USB, there's a kernel panic. (Only if it's a arch live )

We'll still need to see a journal, if you reboot on the iGPU, please post your complete system journal for the previous boot:

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

Though, spoiler, you likely forgot step 5, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation

Druidroyalt · 2023-11-15 14:06:42

http://0x0.st/HvQE.txt. It says the driver i should use is nvidia-390xx.

BTW, i reseted the BIOS and now i have on screen working on the GPU

There's no trace of any nvidia kernel-module, but nouveau is blacklisted by nvidia-utils.

dkms status

Druidroyalt · 2023-11-15 14:23:36

Nov 15 08:45:28 pelican kernel: nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 235
Nov 15 08:45:28 pelican kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 GPU installed in this system is

But it was this morning before i installed the nvidia-470xx package.
Before you replied me, i reboot and tried the 390xx package.

The dkms status returns nothing.
One of my screen is working, but it's labeled none-1 and i can't change the resolution
The IGPU is disabled

Scimmia · 2023-11-15 14:46:11

So do you have a GT 660 or a GT 620?

Druidroyalt · 2023-11-15 14:49:55

On the GPU's sticker it's writen 660 but my system show 620

V1del · 2023-11-15 14:58:03

Did you get that for cheap from shady sources? You've basically been lied to. For getting rid of the None device, add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to your kernel parameters. But yes you'll have to use nvidia-390xx in that case.

Druidroyalt · 2023-11-15 15:00:52

I just tried it right now, but it shows the black screen. I googled my card and it's in fact the GT 620 OEM Lenovo . I think i'll just buy an AMD card.

Thanks you all for your help

10de:1049 is "GF119 [GeForce GT 620 OEM]"

Before you replied me, i reboot and tried the 390xx package.

And what does the journal now look like?

The dkms status returns nothing.

Cause that doesn't sound any good.
Do you have "linux-headers" installed?

Druidroyalt · 2023-11-15 15:03:51

http://0x0.st/Hv1P.txt.

I don't have linux-headers installed

seth · 2023-11-15 15:06:41

No headers, no dkms, no nvidia module.

Druidroyalt · 2023-11-15 15:09:34

Ok, i installed linux-headers and now the result of dkms status is :

nvidia/390.157, 6.6.1-arch1-1, x86_64: installed

My two screens work now thanks. I've read the dkms article and i understand now.

Have a good day

Ok, i just have to add [SOLVED] at the end of the title ?

Rather the beginning, but yes.

Dumb question, but where's the edit button ?

Lower right corner of every post. Middle entry.
