Start the live usb, hover over boot and press E to edit. Make sure nouveau.modeset
is set to 0, by default it is set to 1. With nouveau disabled press F10 to boot. On the desktop open Manjaro-architect
and configure Manjaro as desired. During one of the final stages of the desktop installation procedure the video driver needs to be chosen, be sure to select the intel-video driver otherwise it will not work! The intel-video
driver can be chosen from Select Display Driver
but only on systems with an Intel cpu if it is not available choose video-vesa
instead.
Next select the Install Bootloader
option and in subsequent menu’s be sure to select the grub bootloader. After the bootloader the last required phase is to configure the base. Follow each of the subsequent options from the Configure Base
menu. When the base is configured select Review Configuration Files
followed by selecting grub
.
After selecting grub an text editor will open, edit the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUIX_DEFAULT
and add the text nouveau.modeset=0
. Now exit the text editor by pressing CTRL+X
followed by y
and press enter. An menu option will appear asking to update grub, be sure to select yes and with that the required installation steps are complete.

In the future I plan to release a guide on how to get the Nvidia graphics drivers working for the GTX 1050TI while using Manjaro. This is more difficult as it might seem at first glance when using such a recent version of the Linux kernel. Luckily Manjaro has a nice tool for configuring & installing dedicated drivers for devices such as graphics adapters.
thx very much. I’ve got manjaro in my laptop.
