Hi,
I recently had a full system upgrade, following which I faced “the black screen” at boot which I was able to resolve by ch-rooting into my kernel and removing “optimus manager” and everything seemed to work fine.
Now, suddenly. I’m facing the same situation. I can login into my account (uisng tty); re-installed nvidia drivers, xorg-server but nothing seems to work.
running startx shows some boilerplate message and does nothing – freezes.
I don’t remember installing anything that may have meddled with graphics. On the last successful login, I remember clicking “Hibernate” which just took me back to my login screen.
Here are few logs:
