Arch Linux flickering TTY after dual boot.

fraud · 2024-05-12 23:48:46

I am using Arch Linux with KDE (Intel i5-10300H @ 2.50GHz, NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti, 16GB DDR4) and I am having an issue with dual booting Windows 10 22H2 (via GRUB).

When I first did started dual booting, it gave me no issues and I was able to switch between Arch and Windows just fine. After a Windows update (I am assuming?), it seems that I cannot boot into Arch at all.

After showing the "/dev/sdaX: clean, */* files, */* blocks" message, all it does is flicker the TTY cursor and shut off the screen repeatedly. I would show outputs but it does not show anything and it will not allow me into any other TTY (which is why I believe it's an Arch issue and not a KDE issue). Nothing errors when I remove the `quiet` argument from GRUB. If it matters, I have [optimus-manager](https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager) installed and have already tried to do `optimus-manager.startup=integrated`.

Any and all help is appreciated. If you need any more information let me know and I will happily share it.

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Can you still boot the multi-user.target (2nd link below)?

Try to add "i915.enable_psr=0" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters

I successfully disabled Fast-Start.

Yes, I did successfully log in through multi-user.target. However, I cannot access the internet. NetworkManager is not allowing me to do anything and showed an error related to "secrets" (this is off of memory since I cannot screenshot).

KWallet is also giving me issues with allowing me into the Wi-Fi passwords and such. Any idea how to log into KWallet through the TTY?

The pimary goal would be to get the graphical.target running - NM and kwallet are the same issue, I assume. You'd have to manually provide the password.

What is your graphical.target? SDDM?
Anything in the journal (of the previous boot)

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

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … _passwords (tl;dr, use "nmcli --ask" to establish the connection)

I should switch to SDDM, however I am using LightDM at the moment.

Also, I am not able to upload anything to 0x0.st because I do not have an internet connection. I did go through it via Tmux and found that optimus-manager has messed up but I can't reinstall it without the internet.

no secrets: No agents were available for this request.

This is not the error that is occurring, I will get a photo soon.

You could
a) disable optimus-manager and remove the bogus configs it created
b) re-install it after booting the install iso, getting internet from it and arch-chroot'ing into the system

I have already stopped and disabled optimus-manager via `systemctl`. It did not work. Should I also delete the configs?

seth · 2024-05-15 06:26:53

Yes, certainly /etc/X11/xorg.conf - if this doesn't help you'll have to log the status from the install iso. You can also just https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … al_to_view - but explicitly connecting w/ nmcli --ask should™ allow you to establish an internet connection from the multi-user.target
