Hi, I am new to linux, but wanted a rolling release, terminal centric distro. Everything was working fine, until yesterday when i ran sudo pacman -Syu and installed the updates. My gpu is no longer be detected, and I have tried multiple things, from similar issues already posted. They have not worked for my system, and have no clue what to do to fix it. Thank you in advance, for spending your time helping me.

Here is the boot log: from journalctl -k -b -0 | eos-sendlog
The boot log is too long to include as text.
Judging by the inxi output (and the nvidia GPU not found message in the log) there seems to be no such chip on your machine, that could mean either inxi isn’t perfect or there is a serious (hardware) problem with the chip. But that is just the way I see it.
Is my GPU dead then, because my laptop does have the RTX 3050ti, and it was being detected fine. It only happen this mourning when I tried booting a game, and realized that my GPU was no longer running.
I booted into windows, and it detected my GPU. That means it should not be a hardware problem right?
I reinstalled endeavor os and it detects my GPU. Thank you for your help.
It might have been a compatibility issue between the kernel and the nvidia driver.
I’d suggest using package nvidia-open-dkms as the driver if you aren’t already using it. That requires the kernel headers installed too.
Such a shame you did a reinstall.
I did have nvidia-open-dkms as my driver, I have no clue what was causing the issue with the driver, as I did some steps to see if there was an issue with the kernel and the drivers.
Yeah, but while I was reinstalling, I change the bootloader from systemd to grub, which I was planning on doing for booting with snapshots. So in the end, reinstalling help me switch much easier.
