I used etcher and had no issues with it booting or installing. I’m going to try the removing quiet and splash first but if this continues I may try this.
Ok, sorry, I misunderstood. For some reason I thought you said you were having issues booting from iso.
Ok, I think I get it I’m going to do it now and get right back to you.
I forgot to mention to press ctrl-X to boot after you edit the kernel line, in case you didn't know.
I didn't know but I figured it out. Here's a pic of where it froze I am at a terminal screen and able to log in after I pressed alt+f5
Were you able to press ALT-F5 and get a tty?
EDIT: sorry I didn't notice that you already said you could.
Yes. Sitting at a command prompt
Well that's good!
Try:
sudo pacman -Sy xf86-video-fbdev
sudo systemctl restart display-manager.service
We will get to your swap issue after.
Also what is the output of lsmod | grep -i nvidia and lsmod | grep -i nouveau
And please list output of lspci -v | grep -A1 -e VGA -e 3D
You should see something like this:
root@znode ~# lsmod | grep -i nvidia
nvidia_uvm 1024000 0
nvidia_drm 57344 2
nvidia_modeset 1228800 3 nvidia_drm
nvidia 34045952 85 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset
drm_kms_helper 225280 1 nvidia_drm
drm 565248 5 drm_kms_helper,nvidia_drm
root@znode ~# lsmod | grep -i nouveau
root@znode ~ [0|1]# lspci -v | grep -A1 -e VGA -e 3D

As long as no one replies to your first post, you can edit it.
It's unnecessary to repost every few minutes.
Thank you

I’m not online yet so I just get a screen of commands that start with error in red.
Should I continue on to the systemctl command?
What is the output of:
lsmod | grep -i nvidia
lsmod | grep -i nouveau
lspci -v | grep -A1 -e VGA -e 3D

Start reading the wiki “Reporting bugs”
Please, again, no pictures from terminal output.

How am I supposed to transmit it if I can't get online with it?

I don't know what you want me to do at this point. I'm really trying.
Looks like you have Nvidia Optimus.
I have to step away for a while but I will leave you with these guides so you can read up on it. This is going to take some effort I think if you want to get Garuda to work, as it doesn't seem to support Optimus out of the box like PoP?
I suggest reading each guide as there are multiple solutions for you to choose.

Same problem here. I use macbook pro and have garuda and mac in a same laptop and use grub2 . But after i update my graphic card in garuda assistant , and reboot , it stuck on the initial ramdisk . So i thinck the problem is grub2 somehow. I read lots of articles but i couldnt make it work. I find linux line and add 'nomodest' after quite ( also i have 2 quite after eachother and somelines after that. ). When i go in recoverymode , my garuda works. But not normally. It stuck in initial ramdisk. So now how can i change it that my garuda work ?
Hi there, welcome to the forum!
Please open a new topic, including all the required information mentioned in the new topic template.
This one is very old, and things change quickly with rolling releases.
Better to start new.
