NVIDIA driver failing to load

I keep having problems with nvidia on Artix :/
No matter what package I try, be it nvidia or nvidia-dkms, and how many times I reboot, trying to launch nvidia-settings gives  me:

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded


ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

Any idea of how to solve this? This is really the last step before I'm ready to fully migrate to Artix.

without providing any logs we only could use a crystal ball to help you…

Code: [Select]
dmesg

Code: [Select]
lcpci -v

Code: [Select]
 cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

There are many ways how NVIDIA can fail.

Indeed.
Long story short, my old kernel was conflicting with what was used to compile newer NVIDIA drivers.

But isn't nvidia-lts supposed to load with the lts kernel?
If not I guess I need to boot into CLI and uninstall/disable nvidia.
So how do you tell grub you want a cli login ..
