installed nvidia-lts ---and system now fails at X startup Solved

Installed the package for the driver and assumed that was it  :)  Reboot and system fails when lightdm tries to start X it seems.

Did i miss some steps    :-[

provide logs from xorg, lightdm, maybe even dmesg.

nvidia-lts is from archlinux and for archlinux's kernel, not for artix kernel. It will fail everytime , because is not compiled for artix.
Use nvidia-dkms instead:

Code: [Select]
pacman -R nvidia-lts
Code: [Select]
pacman -S nvidia-dkms
