This broke sddm on virtualbox for me (it stopped at the line “Reached target graphical interface”). I got it fixed by switching to tty and changing sddm configuration to make it start under wayland instead of X11. ---

This affects my hybrid AMD/nVidia laptop. Downgrading mesa via chroot worked. When I get my system back up fully I can post my output. ---

Not sure if this is the right place to reply, but I wanted to share my experience in case it helps others. On my machine with an **AMD GPU** , I didn’t run into any issues after recent updates — everything worked fine. ![image](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/optimized/3X/9/3/93f3b3aff14f067892682d779adc38dd2b941f4b_2_690x40.png) However, on another system with an **NVIDIA GPU** , I did face boot freezes and black screens… Here’s what worked for me on the NVIDIA setup (running KDE Plasma on EndeavourOS): 1. Booted into a Live ISO (EndeavourOS): 2. Mounted the root partition and chrooted into the system: 3. Installed NVIDIA drivers: 4. Downgraded Mesa to a stable version that worked (25.0.5-1): If the console ask about disable mesa updates, set yes. 1. Reinstalled mkinitcpio and rebuilt the initramfs: 2. Exit, umount and rebooted: [Optional] Force KDE to use X11 instead of Wayland: This step wasn’t needed in my case, but it might help if Wayland is giving you trouble: ``` sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf.d/10-wayland.conf ``` Add: ``` [General] DisplayServer=x11 ``` I’m not sure this is the best solution, but it worked as a temporary fix for anyone who needs to get their system running again and doesn’t have a backup available. ---

mesa-1:25.1.1-2 fixed the black screen issue for me. However, installing either mesa-utils 9.0.0-6 or xf86-video-vmware 13.4.0-4 or both both of them (they came out at the same time as the problematic mesa version) results in a black screen on boot. I’m running EndeavourOS and KDE Plasma in a VMWare Workstation Pro virtual machine. ---

I wished I came across this post earlier… After an update yesterday I was stuck with this dumb black-screen-cursor thing. I tried the best I could to fix the issue with all the solutions I found on the web (none directly pointed to this thread strangely enough…) but gave up and did a full wipe and full new install of EOS today… What was my stupefaction seeing the exact same issue after a full reinstall ☹ What worked for me: - Install the nvidia-open-lts - Install KDE plasma (x11/wayland) Now both XFCE and KDE work 😕 I dunno if it’s still relevant but here are the output asked from the first post: ```auto 0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU106 [GeForce GTX 1650] (rev a1) ``` ```auto Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA TU106 [GeForce GTX 1650] driver: nvidia v: 570.153.02 Display: wayland server: X.Org v: 24.1.6 with: Xwayland v: 24.1.6 compositor: kwin_wayland driver: X: loaded: nvidia unloaded: modesetting gpu: nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers: nvidia,swrast platforms: gbm,wayland,x11,surfaceless,device API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 compat-v: 4.5 vendor: nvidia mesa v: 570.153.02 renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2 Info: Tools: api: eglinfo,glxinfo de: kscreen-doctor,xfce4-display-settings gpu: nvidia-smi x11: xdpyinfo, xprop, xrandr ``` ---

Little update, with the last mesa compromised update which I was concerned by the black screen, using the nouveau driver as default one. (choice made by default du to nvidia problematics at the time of EOS installation, 3 years ago) I’ve updated this situation by migrating to the nvidia driver via the helpful EOS Apps info (discovered in the same time… 😬 ```auto $ sudo pacman -S nvidia-inst ``` Then test and install as mentioned by the instructions given. So now, here my new situation, up-to-date and working: ```auto lspci | grep 'VGA' 0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation TigerLake-H GT1 [UHD Graphics] (rev 01) 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile] (rev a1) ``` ```auto inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: Intel TigerLake-H GT1 [UHD Graphics] driver: i915 v: kernel Device-2: NVIDIA GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile] driver: nvidia v: 570.153.02 Device-3: Chicony HP Wide Vision HD Camera driver: N/A type: USB Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.16 driver: X: loaded: intel,nvidia unloaded: modesetting dri: i965 gpu: i915 resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers: iris,nvidia,swrast platforms: gbm,x11,surfaceless,device API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 compat-v: 4.5 vendor: intel mesa v: 25.1.1-arch1.2 renderer: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics (TGL GT1) Info: Tools: api: eglinfo,glxinfo de: xfce4-display-settings gpu: nvidia-settings,nvidia-smi x11: xdpyinfo, xprop, xrandr ``` ```auto pacman -Qs mesa local/glu 9.0.3-2 Mesa OpenGL utility library local/mesa 1:25.1.1-2 Open-source OpenGL drivers local/mesa-utils 9.0.0-6 Essential Mesa utilities ``` Hope this return will be useful 🙂 ---
