Can't Boot after updating nvidia

Gotcha, one sec.

It works when I connect from my usb booted instance of EOS.

using wifi connection? you will need internt connection to replace packages…

The crazy thing is my wifi works on all of my laptops (including the one I’m trying to fix currently), but when I’m booted up into the command line with no graphical interface, it doesn’t seem to work.

possible to use arch-chroot to hack into your installed system from the live ISO session and do the update too.

with this you will be in a terminal inside installed system and you can run command the same as you do here before from non-graphical login…

Give me a sec on that, I’ll do that.

it is not starting network-manager there.
so not internet i bet;
try:

sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

Can you share the output of:

lspci | grep -Ei 'wireless|wifi|network'
journalctl -k -b -0 | grep -Ei 'wireless|wifi|network'

(-v ether below should omit your MAC / hardware address, confirm it does)

ifconfig | grep -v ether

easier to start Network…

Follow up on @joekamprad’s arch-chroot suggestion before considering mine, his is a good one :+1:

should work too …

I tried that but what else would I do? I ran it and nothing happened.

run update again:
eos-update --yay

It was only enable the network service … without it you have no internet connection… and in case still not if you are on wifi connection…
you will need to connect manually using nmtui

If it’s easy enough to do, you might also consider hooking up an network cable for the time being.

Alright, connected to internet and running the update through the non graphical method

Alright, I ran the update, now what? I tried rebooting for kicks, still goes after a brief attempt to boot.

Ctrl + Alt + F4 works?

That does, yes, I’m there now

So if using testing repos from NVIDIA was the problem, if I downgrade those would that help?

pacman -Qs nvidia shows correct packages now?
