After the update (sudo pacman -Syyu) and reboot, this is all. I tried also sudo pacman -Syu octopi (as some warning was on the desktop before all this).
sudo lightdm does not work from the tty (control alt f2) either.
Also: NONE of the snapshots historically do not work: chosing whatever snapshot from the past with enter on the GRUB list: just a flash blink and nothing happens looks like i'm totally borked and i needed this machine right away. This is the first time Garuda has broke on me unexpected.
@heidi on the Grub boot loader screen, can you select the top most option and press "e"?
After that, go to the line where it says "vmlinuz" and add "3" at the end, then press ctrl+x. Your system should now boot into a terminal. Log in and do: mhwd -li and then proceed to uninstall whatever video-nvidia version you have via sudo mhwd -r pci [name].
Example:
╰─λ mhwd -li
> Installed PCI configs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
video-linux 2021.08.29 true PCI
video-nvidia-prime-render-offload 2021.08.29 false PCI
╰─λ sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-prime-render-offload
After that, reboot your system and you should be able to boot for now.
Yes! i can press "e" there, but where to add that 3 exactly? Found the line of vmlinuz, but there is vmlinuz-linuz-zen there do i add the 3 after the zen word? There is lots of stuf after that zen word though, which looks like ending at subvol=@
Or do i add the 3 after that part or something else? Thanks already so much. I'm astonished at your great assistance at Garuda!
I don't want to mess up my system anymore, so i want to make sure. Here is what i see. The lines kinda cut and continue so i'm confused on the specific "end of the line".
