Black Screen on boot after Nvidia Driver Installation

General system Newbie

I am sorry that did not work for you. It was a shot in the dark. Another shot in the dark. You might try adding a kernel parameter. Do the following.

  1. On the grub screen hit the e key. This will bring up another screen.

  2. Look for the word quiet

  3. Replace the word quiet with the following acpi_osci='Windows 2017'

Notice!!! Windows 2017 is surrounded by a single tick. We call it an apostrophe in the US. If you use quotation marks, it will not work.

  1. Hit the F10 to boot the system.

If this works, then you need to add the kernel parameter to grub permanently by doing the following.

Open a terminal, and type the following:

  1. sudo nano /etc/default/grub
  2. Add the kernel argument to the following line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT .

Example

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi='Windows 2018' rd.udev.log-priority=3 nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500"
  1. ctrl+x to exit and “Y” to save.
  2. sudo update-grub or if you do not have update-grub installed from the AUR, run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I can’t help you any further. Why? You refuse to share complete logs, system specs, and desktop environment. Just like a doctor can’t diagnose an illness without examining the body’s “error logs”, people who are trying to help you here can’t lead you to the solution without that kind of info. We can not physically sit at your computer, so we have to rely on YOU to provide them.

Good Luck.
