[OPEN] Blackscreen after driver install for nvidia gtx1060

[Bertaga97]

Hello,
I am running on a GTX 1060 Mobile and I wanted to install proprietary drivers for performances purpose.
After installing the drivers as shown in the tutorial: I used

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -S nvidia

but I have a black screen at reboot.
I also tried (on a fresh install) to install the drivers using the nvidia website executable but it seems to freeze after detecting the number of CPU cores.
So I tried to use the advice in the troubleshooting page but nothing changed so I don't know what to do and I find nothing on the internet.
Someone has a solution?

Let us start with an inxi -b.

What drivers have you tried?
Did you try to blacklist your other graphical card?
