@mmartin20tw I don’t remember the exact boot line in the Antergos ISO, but remove from it two parameters before booting:
These messages may contain an info about the problem. It is usually contained in few final messages.
This is a pic about its final messages, I think it might be the problem with the two graphic cards (hybrid graphics with intel chip and nvidia GTX960M) in my laptop?
@mmartin20tw Rather than graphic cards, it seems to be the usual devastation generated by malefic nouveau driver on Optimus computers. Let’s start trying to exclude it from boot sequence.
Some parameters may be not suitable for the kernel, used by Antergos. Don’t worry, they won’t hurt anything - kernel will simply ignore them.
The last one give me the exactly same halt as direct boot (stuck at “[ok] Started Accounts Service”)
First one worked but it somehow set my fan at full speed and stop me from shutdown (some error messages kept popping up, but I forgot to record it)
Since my dorm net was cut off because I exceed daily limit xD , I will tell you when I have internet and free time. Thx a lot Just! Thx for your fast reply and patience. :D
OK. I highly recommend to uninstall the nouveau video driver - xf86-video-nouveau package - right after a fresh Antergos installation. It’s a root of all disasters on Optimus computers.
Forget about ArchWiki article. It’s a huge overkill for novice Bumblebee users on Arch Linux. Use Antergos Wiki Bumblebee article instead.
@just So after I boot into live session and install with modprobe.blacklist=nouveau, I still need to use modprobe.blacklist=nouveau to boot into arch on my hard disk for the first time right? Later on with bumblebee installed I can boot normally?
BTW the article mentioned that there are one type that is BIOS controlled. If there is no similar setting option in my BIOS means that my laptop is first one right?

Before installing Bumblebee, make sure that the system runs on xf86-video-intel driver. It should the only one installed. Just search in pamac for xf86-video-. None other video drivers are needed.
Yes. Moreover, you’ll be able to boot normally immediately after the xf86-video-nouveveau uninstallation.
Right. Computers without a BIOS that controls the video card are most Bumblebee-friendly. Bmb is usually installs and runs without a hitch on them.
A final note about ArchWiki Bmb article. It’s way too perfect. Too exhaustive. If Bmb will work for you after following Antergos Wiki, most probably you’ll never be in need to read the ArchWiki about Bmb.
@just Thank you very much moderator! Your description is very clear :D . If I encountered any problem or error I will report again :) Thanks for your patience again :D
@just I just finished installation, I boot into the system with e and added the second parameter. My fan is at full speed and I am not sure how to list drivers and uninstall nouveau. Please help me xD
Edit: I just found out how to uninstall xf86-video-nouveau, but I don’t know how to check if xf86-video-intel is the only working one
Please, follow the good rule - one problem, one post. Mixing many issues in one post is a bad practice.
The command iself (pwd here) doesn’t matter. Cooling fans spinning at max speed mean that the system runs on Nvidia. Optirun on exit must switch Nvidia GPU off. After some seconds the fans should slow down.
Then again, I hate Asus hardware. For me, everything works in a wrong way on it, so it’s almost impossible to manage it in a decent way.
Search for xf86-video- in pamac. Only xf86-video-intel must be marked as installed (checked). All other packages must be unchecked.
@just Thank you for the info, I’ll open a new post for shutdown problem, I am sorry that I broke the rule.
Take a look… No, read carefully How To Ask Questions The Smart Way article. It’s very instructive. Helps a lot to “survive” :) in forums .
