I rarely to never have any issues but right now I have 2 at the same time.

1 being that while on the login screen my external monitor works, but after login it goes black and tells me no signal.  
I suspect that this might be wayland but i cant test it because kde kind of ditched x11 and i can’t select it on the login screen anymore. also it seems to be detected in the kde settings and windows tend to pop up on the second screen even if i can’t see them.

 ![image](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/5/c59dc87664351996a8cd385a0cfcf0c327e51ea2.jpeg)

2nd issue as of right now is that when I try to update ( via `eos-update` or `eos-update --aur` tried both) after reboot and grub select screen then the “splashscreen” i think its called, it goes blackscreen (before any error or “failed” that i could see).  
Thankfully to btrfs-assistant and snapper tools that makes snapshots pre- and after updates i was always able to recover when booting into the snapshots from grub (i have no idea how chroot works so this is easier for me).  
I have no idea what the issue is because the update throws no errors whatsoever, i paid very close attention the 2nd time i tried it. or what fails to load on the splashscreen, i suspect maybe nvidia or the kernel update might be it. but i guess i wont do updates for the next few days. (the last time i had this, that method worked out)  
but that also means i wont get my 2nd monitor to work, which i would need right now as it would make it easier as im working on something right now where 2 screens would be helpful.

* * *

### Update as from the comments and the process:

Currently I am on the new update, but only x11 works (with poor performance, heat and instable and without external monitor) while loggin in on wayland still goes complete blackscreen also on the internal laptop monitor. when trying a external ssd with very old garuda gives me no issues whatsoever (both screens work and performance is great) so no hardware issues.  
I also tried to install the Nvidia Nouvou drivers, robooted but still same issues on wayland = screen completly dark no response whatsoever.  
Reinstalled the Nvidia open-dkms drivers, still same issue…

I now installed the LTS kernel and wayland works again, the only thing that doesnt is still the second monitor, which works on the KDE Login screen but under wayland doesnt only gets detected but no picture

can you run checkupdates and show us what is avaiable for update? maybe that will lend a clue.

You have a few updates lol. I think I would try to go ahead and update again. You may want to add the plasma X11 app/extention or whatever it is that will let kde work with x11 and see if the monitor issue persist on x11 to determine if its a wayland issue or not.

be prepared to have to reset a snapshot in case it goes wrong. however wait as long as possible before doing so as to give others time to wake up and maybe they can see something I am not at the moment.

To enable x11 for plasma, run `yay -Syu plasma-x11-session` or use pacman if you prefer.

thanks, but right now i fear installing stuff without updating first could break linux (and updating also breaks my linux)

just updated on my pc for testing but there it works, so i guess there really is something that bugs my laptop (guess too many packages to update on my laptop maybe?)

if you run the command as @MyNameIsRichard posted it will do both.

Yeah, it may be broken, but you can switch to x11 to see if that fixes it.

maybe there is a way to safely update one part after the other without all these other packages like first update linux kernel, firmware, dracut, intel, nvidia and then if this succeds the rest

Edit idk what happened but i guess my internet was weird wantedd to edit the comment to say i missed that it would update everthing all good but it for some reason copied above commend and responded to you first idk

NO. Never attempt to do partial updates on Arch based systems. This could leave you in even worse shape.

I suppose you could add the others to the ignorepkg in your pacman.conf and update and then remove a few and update and so on. As long as it’s temporary it could be OK. There’s a risk with it though.

As far as I know, there is no completely safe way to do a partial update on Arch.
