I can do alt f2 and run garuda-inxi command but would be grateful for a tip as to how to save as a log file that I can email to you separately
For now, I attach some error messages I have seen via screen photos
Hope you can assist
Cheers

Hey, sign-in in a TTY and upload your log file to a link using the command garuda-inxi | tb. This assumes you have an Ethernet connection.
Many thanks for quick reply; much appreciated. Grateful for some pointers re how to perform the TTY approach
Cheers
R
Hmm? You already seem to know how to get to a tty as you wrote out in your first message, what more do you need?
Sorry not familiar with terminology. Let me try that and get back to you
Clever, I will remember this..
According to the AUR comments below your Nvidia driver does not fully support Kernel 6.0.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-470xx-dkms
It could be that it was working fine with a previous version (e.g. linux-zen- 6.0.9) then the recent release of 6.0.10 created troubles.
I'd try to install the linux-lts:
sudo pacman -Syu linux-lts linux-lts-headers
Many thanks for the advice
I was able to apply the updates but unfortunately get the error message "Failed to start Displaylink Manager Service" and "Failed to start Samba NMB Daemon"
Should I try one of the alternative boot options?
Grateful for your thoughts
Cheers
R
Actually I went into advanced options and can boot via LTS option
Should I just do this from now on and ignore the standard menu option
Also, should I continue to apply system updates
Thanks again
R
Sure you have to continue applying the updates.
I’ll link you in a few minutes a procedure to boot by default to the linux-lts kernel.
That should be useful, so you keep the linux-zen installed, keep it up-to-date, and every now and then (when zen is updated) you give it a try.
Here we go:
Pay attention to the “1>2” example, which should be the case you need.
Thanks again
I set "GRUB_DEFAULT=4" and commented out the "saveddefault", however it still boots to the Zen version
When I boot into LTS and check the file, the changes are saved
Not a big deal for me to go via advanced options though. Just delighted I am back in
Cheers

Have you given
sudo update-grub
?
Is your linux-lts in row number 5 in the plain list (without submenus I guess) since you used GRUB_DEFAULT=4?
Check also that GRUB_DEFAULT does not apoear twice in that file (It happened sometimes).

I did the update Grub command and now it defaults to snapshots which is new
You have to use
GRUB_DEFAULT=3
Because it is the fourth in the list (starts counting from 0).
Additionally, set
#GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT
Finally
sudo update-grub
Again
Snapshots option has now disappeared but no LTS default. Honestly it's fine and appreciate your trying to help me. If anything it's an added security layer given I am the only one who knows which menu option to get in!
You could try simply uninstalling the Zen kernel while running the LTS. Update grub, then reboot and install the Zen kernel again. Update grub again. Sometimes simply changing the order the kernels were installed will change the default order they are booted.
Have you tried changing the boot default in Garuda Boot Options? There is a drop-down menu called "Boot to" where you can choose from all the available boot options.
From the image and text analysis, the image is from the 2nd page of grub menu.
If you read again previous advice, you should understand.
1>2 means activate the second choice at the 1st page (menu line numbers start from zero 0, so 1 is second line), which is the Advanced menu options submenu, and on the new page, boot the 3rd line (2 is 3rd line).
Keep trying and reading, until you succeed. 
Hah OK! Thanks for explaining further. 1>3 now highlights advanced options as default. However, if I let it run, it still boots Zen. Even 1>4 boots Zen. Also did the update command both times as well. So I am very close but still missing one last piece...
