Rarely something breaks my system (other than me messing with it), but this update was one of them. At first I thought it was the kernel upgrade that also came by today, but downgrading this pkg to 530 ~ made X and gdm work again
Mkinitcpio -P didnt work?
Nope, I tried mkinitcpio -P and bootctl in arch-croot with a live usb, reinstalling kernels, installing normal linux kernel instead of zen, only downgrading nvidia worked
what errors were being listed?
several nvidia process exited with code 1 early in kernel loading, I didn’t go after much else
I have been using the Frogging-Family Nvidia PKGBUILD for ages now. Easiest way I have seen to stay on the latest versions of the proprietary drivers with the least amount of headaches.
Had a maybe similar issue with steam and nvidia. Enabling multilib-testing and updateing lib32-nvidia-utils fixed it for me
My first linux fix find on Lemmy rather than Reddit. Keep it up!
