[SOLVED] Wayland is showing a blackscreen on KDE with jus mouse cursor

I recently updated my nvidia driver(nvidia-dkms) and Wayland stopped working ever since.  I just see a blackscreen with my cursor. I use both KDE and Hyprland. Both had the same problem. I tried to downgrade the nvidia driver, but lower version of the driver isn't showing up in the 'pacman' list.

Re: [SOLVED] Wayland is showing a blackscreen on KDE with jus mouse cursor

You updated "your nvidia driver" how and to what version? just updating nvidia-dkms is a partial update that you need to match with a corresponding nvidia-utils version. Note that if you're actually on a testing branch there's currently a regression for nvidia on the 6.11 kernel breaking the default modesetting mitigations that are normally in place: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=299450

OTher than that post a

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

from a terminal.

Hello, thanks for your reply. I did 'pacman -Syu' to perform a system wide update, and it automtically updated the nvidia drivers too. I don't think I am on a testing branch. The nvida-utils is also update.
nvidia version: 560.35.03
Here is the output: http://0x0.st/XYJ-.txt

You're on testing and running the 6.11 kernel, see the thread I linked and in doubt disable testing and go back to 6.10.10 until this is ironed out.

Or at least if you still think you want to stick to 6.11 set  initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init as an additional boot parameter

Moving to [testing]

Thanks a lot, switching to a stable branch resolved the issue.
