Hello, I tried for 2 days install the new NVIDIA drivers on Arch Linux, but after reboot I would get a black screen. I had tried NVIDIA-DKMS and the normal package NVIDIA and none has worked. Will this get fixed?

If you have nvidia included in your mkinitcpio modules, you probably need to manually run mkinitcpio -P after updating. Updating the nvidia driver doesn’t automatically update your initcpio, so if you update the driver and reboot without updating your initcpio, it will boot to black screen.

Nvidia 515.76 has some issues for certain users. Downgrade to 515.65 and you should be good. There has been a bug report submitted to nvidia and also for nvidia-open.

Here is just one of the threads… Why is there no mention of the borked Nvidia 515.76-1 drivers? I guess similar to the grub issue, but why isn't there a mention of the borked 515.76-1 drivers? Seems a bunch of people have issues with display locks up or no display at all. I had to downg…

There is something wrong with the drivers for quite a few people. It’s been 5 days and Nvidia haven’t said a word yet.

Hi All, Thanks for writing to us. Will really appreciate if you can share nvidia bug report fetched in repro state which will help us to triage issue. Meanwhile I will also try internally for local repro.

ran the bug report script in ssh after black screen. nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (297.2 KB)

The pre-x.log is after the computer booted, while it is on tty login screen before logging in, made via ssh. The nvidia.log was also made via ssh, after logging in on the computer and doing startx pre-x.log.gz (255.2 KB) nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (349.7 KB)
