Hello
Woke up with my computer getting stuck t this screen.
So I tried using startx but it crashed and the logg pretty much says “failed to initialize the Nvidia kernel module”.
Looked through some forums where they all say “use nvidia-installer-dkms” the problem is that I have is all installed but I get “command not found”
So now I feel styck and no idea what to do next.

@ExDebianuser installed nvidia-hook and it seemed to fix it, try:
sudo mkinitcpio -P
Then reboot.
I tried it
Didn’t work and got another error.
Looks like the system dropped the ball somewhere.

How recent is the install?
Think I have had endevouros for about 1-2 weeks.
Though replaced Nvidia with nvidia-dkms today to see if it would make any difference.

So this is dracut? I just converted, but:
sudo dracut-rebuild
Check if dracut:
pacman -Qs dracut
local/dracut 056-1
An event driven initramfs infrastructure
local/eos-dracut 1.0-2
Dracut scripts and hooks for EndeavourOS
It may differ as my install was converted

Welcome to the forum! 
Note that nvidia-installer-dkms is outdated and instead one should use nvidia-inst
.
See nvidia-inst -h
for info about the options.
First I suggest you run command
nvidia-inst -t
to see what changes it plans to do. If they are OK, then you can run the same without the -t
option (and add other options you might need).
The command nvidia-inst worked after I installed it. Wasn’t installed by default.
Still have the same error.
Here is a part of my Xorg.0.log since I don’t have the possibility to copy the file to my phone.

I assume you need to add kernel parameter ibt=off
.
This probably was mentioned in the output of nvidia-inst -t
.
Or do you have it already?
My Nvidia-inst -t gives me.
Have no idea how use grub commands.
Can’t remove suggested package gets this prompt

Try option --32
for nvidia-inst -t
.
You have AMD CPU?
That is correct I have an AMD CPU.

Then you don’t need ibt=off.
That is one less thing from the list.
Though running the suggested commands does not change the output from Nvidia-inst.
And tried Nvidia-inst --32
And no change.

The -t
option does nothing but shows what it would do if allowed.
Now it only wants to add the kernel parameter nvidia-drm.modeset=1.
So you can just
- run:
sudo pacman -Syu
and reboot if needed
- take the
-t
option away from the nvidia-inst command and run it
- run grub related commands (at least grub-mkconfig …)
- reboot
and see if that helps.
Note: if any of the commands seem to fail, do not continue further but show the problem here.
Did a -Syu update for the system
When using Nvidia-inst I still get the steam Vulcan conflict as shown in pictures above.
Used Nvidia-inst --32 instead.
Updated grub mkconfig
And still the same problem.
Might try and remove Vulcan and steam when I get back home from work later to see if it’s something with that part.
Nope still nothing.
Could use nvidia-inst without any errors but did not change anything else.
Still get the same error log from xorg.
Even tried Nvidia-inst --conf --32
To see if it kicked any life into xorg but nothing.
I just copied /home and reinstalled it all.
So no true solution just a classic reinstall and rebuild.
