This afternoon i did an update (if i remember correctly it was only the mesa drivers). After rebooting all i have is a black screen. I cannot type anything. I need some help. My pc is an i5 10400f with Rx 6600.
Have you tried the solution noted above? It has fixed the problem for me.
Basically when the screen is black, access the terminal using ctrl+alt+f2, enter your username, then the password and execute a system update using commands (sudo pacman -Syu)
I am having a similar issue. I ran a system update and now my screen goes black after the splash screen. However, ctrl+alt+F2 doesn’t seem to open any rescue terminals for me. I also tried adding nomodeset to reFind but that didn’t change anything either.
Edit: after pressing keys for a while, I did find that ctrl+alt+del will kick me back to reFind. Still not able to open a tty though.
