I have some huge guess ideas but that's all.

You were lucky in a way as not long after you installed, the official iso got updated again and the 07/22 versions you installed from fell off the site.

Have you tried again with the current Live iso ? (Another new one is incoming from what I read on another thread, missing swap option)

Also I'm curious. Did the 07/22 iso you installed also have nvidia on it. I was going to look myself but like I say them iso's are gone. The link I provided you doesn't work any more.

Anyway my first huge guess is that the presence of the nvidia modules etc on the 02/23 iso's is just a red herring.
What was / is happening is that Nouveau was broken in some way on the ISO when combined with your particular hardware and old nvidia GPU. Xorg should have loaded Nouveau but failed.

My second huge guess is that maybe some of the nvidia modules got loaded but not nvidia_uvm. Which freaked Nouveau out and it failed to load? Outlier but who knows ?
I've read a few things recently, not just on here, about new issues with old nvidia GPU's.

Total guess, you'd need to extract and diff both iso's to get a better idea.
Also this recent post might be related ? (I haven't studied it in depth)

If loads of people start reporting similar issues I imagine it will get investigated.
But as someone who did get Artix installed maybe just let it lie ? Or figure it out for yourself

Solved for me!

when artix boot to cli, start this command for startx+nouveau

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe nouveau

PS but i do not know this preinstalled 5xx nvidia driver from live iso, also automatically will installed to new system or not?
PPS and one more question, why not working kernel boot parameters to blacklist nvidia driver and force use nouveau?
