After installing the latest manjaro updates and rebooting the system there is no output on the notebooks display anymore, it just remains black.
Any ideas on what’s wrong and how to troubleshoot this issue?
I queried journalctl and discovered the following:
journalctl --boot=-1 --priority=3 --no-pager

Is your laptop effected by the recent backlight problem? Are you running a release candidate for kernel 6.1?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Given the journal messages, might help to boot in a more verbose mode.
Looking at the actual msg, search engine hints me into looking at disable acpi in grub, and see where it goes from there:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI
related might help (and has an archive.org link on the bottom to the source of ubunut’s help guide)

With acpi=off I can see that it hangs on the Manjaro screen like so:
Interestingly enough, when I remove the quiet entry and also remove acpi=off again the output becomes more unreadable when it starts to hang:
I’m wondering if the culprit isn’t the following line:
Dez 08 10:58:21 cptLegendary gdm[700]: Gdm: Failed to contact accountsservice: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Accounts: Refusing activation, D-Bus is shutting down.
There is another thing I have noiced and this is the following process running at 100% utilisation all the time:
/usr/lib/Xorg vt2 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority -nolisten tcp -background none -noreset -keeptty -novtswitch -verbose 3
I have now tried both kernel 5.18 and 6 and the problem persists. The more time passes the more I think I should just re-install Manjaro (again)…
I think kernel (5.18) was a typo and thus far I have tried those kernels:
- 5.10.157-1-MANJARO
- 5.15.81-1-MANJARO
- 6.0.11-1-MANJARO
I have also deactivated Bluetooth, WiFi and the fingerprint reader, just to be on the safe side. Furthermore, I stumbled over a thread with a similar issue:
So, I went ahead and added ibt=off but it did not solve it on my end 
did you do:
sudo mhwd -li
they just pushed a new nvidia driver so I would just reinstall the driver.
sudo mhwd -r *insert installed driver here*
sudo mhwd -i *probably intel-nvidia-prime driver here*

Thank you very much, you and another user in the Manjaro forum pointed me in the right direction:
sudo mhwd -li
> Installed PCI configs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
video-nvidia 2021.11.04 false PCI
This only lists the nividia driver and it I discovered (thx to the other user) that I had the onboard GPU deactivated. So, I activated it in the BIOS, removed the video-nvidia driver and installed video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime.
What I’m wondering now though are those two things:
- Given that the driver has just been pushed shouldn’t the version say something different than
2021.11.04? - Is there an easy way to test if the discrete GPU is working as expected?
it depends on the Kernel you run, since your on 5.15 its probably the most recent driver version that Nvidia provides (or the most stable one).
prime-run glxinfo | grep OpenGL
should run on the nvidia, and
run glxinfo | grep OpenGL
Should run on the iGPU

No, I’m on 6.0.11-1-MANJARO.
glxinfo is in Essential Mesa Utilities, is this the right one?
Yes that is the right glxinfo. idk about 6.0 kernel since I am still rocking 5.19
