Garuda boots, but no video. What now?

Issues & Assistance
1

So, it’s been a while now that I can’t access my Garuda. I’ve been busy with work since last post (so I couldn’t give the issue much attention till now) and as it is already closed ig I decided to open a new issue, specially because I think there’s probably something else going on.

So, to summarize everything so far:

My GTX 750ti died, I tried the CPU’s hdmi port but no luck in getting any video. The system boots, I can see the grub and then I put my password for my encrypted device and nothing else, no video after that. I am tho able to pull up a tty, so I tried some recommended codes from other similar issues.

First I found this topic:

I then pulled up my tty, ran a successful garuda-update, and tried

mhwd -li
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-dkms
sudo mhwd -i pci video-linux

The mhwd -li now shows instead of nvidia, linux video. But upon reboot, I was still on the same page.
I then tried removing nvidia altogether (with the commands I could find on the arch wiki) from the system and reinstalling the kernel:

pacman -Qs nvidia
sudo pacman -Rd nvidia
sudo pacman -Rd nvidia-utils
sudo rmmod nvidia
sudo rmmod nvidia-drm
sudo rmmod nvidia-modeset
sudo rmmod nvidia-uvm
garuda-update linux-lts linux-lts-headers

Well… the commands went through and the update was a success… but still can’t see my login splash. So, please, veterans: what gives? Why can’t my cpu hdmi port give me video?

Note that I am using that same machine right now with Zorin, no issue so the port definitely isn’t banged. I assume it has to do with the nvidia drivers. Did I miss anything? Should I install other drivers? Idk, I need some help here.

The inxi is old as heck (from when my gpu was Still Alive) but it’s the only one I can copy-paste right now. If you will, I may tomorrow morning make a bootable usb and chroot to get a new one. (my system is not partially upgraded anymore)

Fix this first.

Again, the inxi is old and it’s not partially anymore. That was solved by bluish a while ago on

4

Let’s try reinstalling the kernel and headers. May as well confirm you are fully up to date as well by combining it with garuda-update. If you are still using the hardened kernel that would look like this:

garuda-update linux-hardened linux-hardened-headers

No, I’m using LTS, and as shown above I did that after uninstalling nvidia drivers. Hardened is my second choice actually, sorry for the confusion but that inxi is not helping us I figure xD

But I’ll give it a try as well, hold on.

6

Ok. Updated my system, I not only reinstalled Hardened, but LTS as well. I tried booting with both of them (main and fallback initramfs):

I am now able to see the following line of text after putting in my disk password:

x86/cpu: VMX (outside TXT) disabled by BIOS
x86/cpu: SGX disabled by BIOS.

Hardened also adds below:

systemd[1]: bfp-lsm: Failed to load BFP object: No such process

Now how should we proceed?

7

Folks, seriously, I do not want to be a begger but I absolutely want my Garuda install back and running. Can someone please give me some insights here on what to do next?

8

Display manager issue?

Have you changed any settings in the BIOS after removing the GeForce GTX 750?

If possible, enable virtualization technology and sgx in your BIOS.

x86/cpu: VMX (outside TXT) disabled by BIOS
x86/cpu: SGX disabled by BIOS.

Actually it doesn’t matter and you can ignore the two error messages - Linux should still boot.

The same here:

systemd[1]: bfp-lsm: Failed to load BFP object: No such process

Linux should still boot.

What I notice about your inxi is that Garuda was installed with deactivated igpu… it is possible that the nvidia-card is being searched for when booting.
Did you install zorin after removing the GeForce GTX 750 and you activate the igpu for this installation?

Nop, my setup was:

  1. Install Zorin 'cause it’s stable

  2. Install Garuda 'cause it’s the proper system to have

  3. Use my computer, daily driving Garuda and only booting Zorin for updates or when strictly necessary.

But that have been way over when I was starting out with Garuda. Probably a good 2-3 years ago. And I don’t mess with my files, I use stuff out of the box for any system-wise configs.

I only mess with apps and looks. So I have no idea what igpu even is. And no, I don’t mess with bios (UEFI actually) as well. I have little to no idea how to do that, but I guess vmx and sgx disabled were never a problem even before I had a gpu.

And yes, nvidia is definetely being search for on boot, at least that’s how I see it. But Zorin didn’t have no issue with my gpu dying, if that helps, I just changed ports and it worked.

But when my workshift is done I’ll give a try on what bluish just pitched me:

But if that info gives you any insight, please do say it. I’m not a noob but I’m just a regular user, which is almost the same xD

11

Have you just tried booting from a live usb?
Does everything work?

So Zorin “knew” the Nvidia card.

If you have never changed anything in your UEFI yourself and nothing was changed by a UEFI update, then the kernel has some problem. But the vmx and sgx messages also have something “good” - that is, the KVM works. But what surprises me is that the messages are displayed at boot. This used to be the case with older kernels (kernel flag/kvm flag) but not today (only in the kernel log).

How long do you wait to boot?

Do you have any snapshots? If so, can they be booted?

And yes, have you tried a live session like @TilliDie suggested?

Ahm usually it boots in like 2~3 mins like it always did (HDD user here ^^"). After I put in my decrypt password it takes like 10~30 seconds to appear the vmx and sgx message and as soon as it appears I’m able to pull the tty.

Just got my work done, will be testing what yall are saying

But no, snapshots are just the same, all of them only go as far as the main grub entry.

14

Yes, just tested. Live boot is working.

I took a photo here, see if it helps:
