Hi guys, I’m aniket and a few days before I tried to install arch and it did install successfully but there was a problem, just after I finished the installation and tried to boot, it was stuck on a black screen. I decided to try garuda Linux hyperland and this has the same issue. Though I tried garuda Linux kde a year before and it worked great. I tried refined bootloader and it is still not working but atleast the bootloader shows up this time unlike grub. This laptop has intel hd graphics and you can ask what else you want to know.
Thank you
Heya. I can get a new edition with a fix built for you, might take a solid 30 minutes or so. Sorry for the trouble.
Build is in progress. It will show up here when it’s done:
Relevant patch included in this ISO:
Only affects certain types of UEFIs.

Build’s done. Please let me know if this one works.
Ok I’ll test asap. Thanks by the way I never expected the assistance to be this good XD
Well three things contribute to that:
- It’s an easy fix (the issue was already solved yesterday)
- I happened to be looking at the forum when you posted.
- The issue is a core system issue that is not your fault.
We take any core system issues that are ‘not the users fault’ very seriously.

Hi, I tried it but the installer doesn’t boot. It shows grub menu then after some minutes it is just a black screen but I can access the TTY mode I guess. I’ll try with nomodeset if you want
Would be good to see garuda-inxi for sure.
As well as the logs of display-manager.service

What happens when you run sudo systemctl start display-manager
display-manager.service
Shows no entries
Gotcha. Can you try this:
I will try and see if the ISO works fine on my end, just in case. I did not get a chance to test it after I built it for you.

Downloaded the ISO and booted it up in VirtualBox. I also get a black screen. Will investigate, thanks for the report.

Thanks
@Ankur This one is for you. Hyprland’s sddm theme “sweet” uses plasma5 libraries that have been removed from the arch repos. What’s the game plan here?

@immiku69 for now I have a bypass for you:
sudo sed -i "s/Current=Sweet/#Current=Sweet/g" /etc/sddm.conf
sudo systemctl restart sddm
Make sure you have no typos. That should reset the theme to a very boring looking sddm look, but at least it works! You will have to do the same after installing the system.
