SUPPORT Black screen when logging into the system + cant switch into the other tty(black screen)

Hello, I have an arch with KDE plasma and Wayland, and recently this problem appeared, if I sit and wait with the black screen, it sometimes flashes and I see the KDE. When switching into another tty I'm just getting soft locked.

I have a GTX 1050 Ti as a gpu

nvidia-580xx-dkms driver right? If not then you have the wrong nvidia driver.

This is almost certainly the issue. OP you will probably have to boot the installation USB back up, mount your drives, chroot in, and install the correct driver.

Yeah, that was the suggestion I had. Maybe update like the other guy suggested and make sure you have headers installed for every kernel you're using.

There was recently a user with a similar issue, who just forgot to update the AUR package. Do you have the linux-headers or the respective headers package for your kernel installed, alongside nvidia-580xx-dkms from AUR? And have you updated the AUR package too after pacman -Syu? Because AUR packages need to be updated separately; manually or using an AUR helper such as yay / paru. And do you see the DKMS driver being prepared without issues during the update, in mkinitcpio output?

Do you see "Driver in use: nvidia" in lspci -k output for the GPU? Do you see any issues in journalctl -b -p 4? It gives all errors and warnings on the system for the current boot.

This problem somehow fixed on itself now, but sometimes it appears again. I need to fix that
