When choose NVIDIA proprietary driver, the system can't start

Open NyaDoo opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I use Gigabyte aero 15 OLED XD notebook with Intel 11800h and 3070 graphics cards. When I choose the open source kernel driver, I can enter the system, but sleep can't work (I can't wake up again after sleep, so I can only force shutdown and restart). When I choose a proprietary driver, I can't enter the system. I'll be stuck with only one _ in the black screen interface of the symbol, the symbol will not flash, and any keys will not work, including ctrl+alt+f3.

I have a Legion 5i laptop with RTX 3060 and I have the same problem!

Have both of you followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hybrid_graphics post-installation? Because dual graphics card, especially in laptops where they call them "Hybrid graphics" is a bit of a PITA some times. Nothing we really configure or prepare for in archinstall other than install the drivers you select.

I didn't follow any post installation. I had a Legion 5i with RTX 2060 that worked perfectly after installing it with archinstall. I didn't know it had specific settings.

Apparently it's a kernel issue as of 5.18 with current Nvidia drivers. I ended up downgrading to lts version, 5.15 and the problem was solved

There is another solution that is performed during grub boot, but I chose to use an lts kernel anyway

I'll close this issue since there's not much we can do in that case. Also the open driver is in a bit of an experimental stage so this probably won't be the last issue surrounding it :)
