Thanks for your reply @dalto.
I’m right on it now.
ahhh.
This all started when I could not run updates. It would refuse authentication of my password. So I logged out and restarted the computer. (this is before updates) I was then able to login. After this update and a couple of reboots/shutdown, I am getting the same issue. when I attempt to login from a tty, 4 in this case, I am denied bad password. So I was attempting to get an nvme I imaged with ventoy and boot the endeavourOS iso but my latop will not even recognize and I can’t find my primary usb stick lf;kasjdflkaj. So currently I am stuck. Gonna wait awhile so my account gets unlocked and try again.
okay after waiting awhile, I logged in and installing lts now.
lts installed.
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
command grub-mkconfig not found.
I have rebooted and no change. black screen.
I have tried: Tried the solution mentioned in this link.
Ran nvidia-inst –test: eos-sendlog did not detect any input. But from the messages: all requested packages and settings are already okay!
@dalto I finally figured out the issue while I was not paying close attention the nvidia 590 drivers were installed and that is why i get a black screen. Now how to downgrade.
I decided to just clear pkg cache reinstall nvidia-470xx reboot, rebuild optimus-manager-git reboot and change my display settings in uefi from performance to balanced.
Its back! Tx for you help.
