[naxcold]

Okay I want to try hyprland I installed Arch clean install and installed all system items from systemd and gurb to all other packages I clone the script and run ./install.sh it takes time but after all of this th hyprland runs good but after I reboot it it's doesn't post anything after boot ☹️ I'm very sad how can I fix this

UPDATED: I Removed the the GPU card the system worked Now how to fix the the problem with the driver problem UPDATED: I installed nvidia-470xx-dkms it's boots But when I start to login after enter username and password nothing happens black screen

[ettige]

Can you please install with systemd driver and then run the command yay -Qs hyprland and ensure you are not using hyprland-nvidia-git.

@ettige the output: hyprland-git 0.32.3.r112.68783d90-1

@T-Crypt the output: local/grimblast-git r79.65e567a-1 A helper for screenshots within Hyprland. local/hyprland-git 0.32.3.r112.68783d90-1 A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor based on wlroots that doesn't sacrifice on its looks. local/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland 1.2.5-1 xdg-desktop-portal backend for hyprland

Can you get TTY on startup?

If so, I would remove the hyprland.conf and have it create the autogenerated default conf and see if you can load into hyprland that way.

@T-Crypt okay look I'm newbie in arch I was using manjaro I installed arch by archinstall script and choosed the default boot for my arch is systemd why because gurb fuks with me when I power on my system I see systemd processes then nothing happens that happens when I using my GTX 760 but when I remove the card and connect the HDMI in my motherboard it works like a charm so I don't know what happens exactly it worked for the first time on my GPU after install the script install.sh then I reboot my system see the systemd process and then Nothing but removing my card fix the error I don't know exactly why didn't boot when my GPU attached to motherboard

Hi @naxcold , your card is from Kepler family -

NVE0 family (Kepler)

Code name	Official Name
NVE4 (GK104)	GeForce GTX (660 Ti, 670[M], 680[M], 690, 760, 760 Ti, 770, 775M, 780M, 860M) Quadro K3000[M], K3100M, K4000[M], K4100[M], K5000[M], K5100M, Tesla K10

So please try installing this old driver instead -

yay -S nvidia-470xx-dkms

Think I'll make a database for all supported nvidia GPU's so that script can install the correct driver for the card!

Edit: done in 7667812

@prasanthrangan Woooo It's worked all most the system boots fine I see login screen now for the Hyprdots but I enter the username and the password and press login than nothing again but at latest I installed gnome and it works fine on nvidia-470xx-dkms

@prasanthrangan @ettige @T-Crypt @Kemipso the problem with your hyperland and nvidia driver I think

[prasanthrangan]

Hi @naxcold , looks like its the issues with nvidia drm, could you please login to TTY and check grub config and lsmod as below -

lsmod | grep nvidia

grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT /etc/default/grub

if its not enabled, please update the /etc/default/grub file manually to add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 as below -

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet splash nvidia_drm.modeset=1"

and regenerate grub conf as grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

@naxcold If your comfortable using the opensource nouveu driver it might help you launch hyprland.

Could you close as solved if you no longer have this issue. Thank you @naxcold
