[SOLVED] Black screen on Plasma 6 with Wayland after big upgrade

I made a somewhat big upgrade after almost two months. See pacman log here.

After upgrading, rebooting and starting a Plasma 6 Wayland session with SDDM, the screen goes black and I can only see the cursor (which also disappears sometimes). X11 sessions work. Using NVIDIA proprietary drivers.

Here's my journalctl -b: https://0x0.st/XPuM.log

Here's my journalctl -b -p err: https://0x0.st/XPuQ.log

Yes, I did rerun mkinitcpio. My mkinitcpio.conf modules:

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

Modeset is activated via modprobe.d:

cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
Y

I've also tried setting some NVIDIA flags suggested by section 1.4 in this Wiki article and regenerating the init ramdisk to no avail.

I update every other day. Experiencing the exact same issue here.

Re: [SOLVED] Black screen on Plasma 6 with Wayland after big upgrade

I've just fixed it by setting the "modeset" and "fbdev" options of the "nvidia_drm" module to 1 in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf:

options nvidia_drm modeset=1 
options nvidia_drm fbdev=1 

I did have modeset set to 1, but not fbdev.
