Hi, I currently face an issue I don’t know how to solve, I run manjaro, I use my login I press enter and then my pc is freeze on msi logo and I can’t do anything.
I tried going to my live usb and log in to the chroot, I updated mirros and system, reinstalled nvidia drivers but my system still doesn’t boot to desktop.
Thank you for everyone that will help me.

Can you get to TTY or boot to runlevel 3 ?
In whatever case we will probably need some info.
When we have problems gaining access to our systems it is difficult to gather information, let alone fix any problems. Here we will cover common causes and solutions to ‘manjaro wont boot’.
TTY
If your desktop does not load properly then you might still be able to use most, if not all, functionality by dropping to a non-graphical TTY.
By default your system will have multiple TTYs, with each corresponding to an Fx key. Your desktop is assigned to one as well - most often F1.
You can chang…
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
Rather than providing the commercial reference of a computer or piece of hardware, it is usually better to directly ask the system to describe itself. On top of saving time to everyone, this also often provides more details, including something specific to the running system.
Below is a (not exhaustive) list of commands for retrieving system information.
If you don’t know how to use those commands, or how to provide them to support, see: [HowTo] Use the terminal / TTY …
Sometimes we might want to easily share terminal output.
While this can be accomplished directly in the forums or manually through websites like pastebin, there also exist a number of open services that allow you to paste and share directly from the command line by using tools you already have installed.
This is great for many situations, including troubleshooting from a non-graphical boot, or simply very large outputs. Here I will share a few examples and how to use them.

What about booting to runlevel 3?
I mean … if you can chroot … then thats something … and you can work from there.
Well "desktop doesnt load’ is a very generic problem. Im sure 10000 people have had it … but I’m not sure that even the majority of them were the same scenario as you.
Please utilize some of the guides to take some first steps … such as finding the logs from the failed boots … providing your system information … and so on.
“why it no work … it dont work … help … why” isnt much to work with.
Booting to run level 3 is showing “running early hook (polymouth)” and it freezes
Like how am I able to get logs if I dont even have a terminal

Like by following some of the links posted.
So you have plymouth and its failing near there?
Thats a good morsel.
Try disabling or removing plymouth.
Remove plymouth then?
Well… you can test with some boot parameters:
plymouth.enable=0 disablehooks=plymouth
You can add this to options during boot from grub if you hit ‘e’ at selection.
You can also apply it persistently by editing /etc/default/grub and adding to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line. ex:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="plymouth.enable=0 disablehooks=plymouth"
Then run:
sudo update-grub
And reboot.
To remove it completely:
Uninstall:
sudo pacman -Rns plymouth plymouth-theme-manjaro

Failing to mount something …
I suppose check your UUIDs against the ones in /etc/fstab
.

If you are chrooted into or otherwise accessing the system in question then you can;
Print the partitions and their UUID’s:
lsblk -f
Print your current fstab:
cat /etc/fstab
If they dont match … edit fstab:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
I will leave here an example of a working fstab … remember that you must find and use your own paths, values, ids.
example fstab
# /dev/sda5
UUID=d2b4d247-7922-4279-458d-f00741e1ff16 / ext4 rw,noatime,commit=60 0 1
# /dev/sda1
UUID=CEGE-DCA1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 2
/swapfile none swap defaults,pri=-2 0 0

this is what I have:

and
cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may

Well its missing a lot of the info, it should look something like this…
NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS
sda
├─sda1 vfat FAT32 SYSTEM CEGE-DCA1 66.8M 30% /boot/efi
├─sda2
├─sda3 ntfs Windows EC74FF8B75FF5414
├─sda4 ntfs WinRE C47EFF7D7EFF7688
└─sda5 ext4 1.0 d2b4d247-7922-4279-458d-f00741e1ff16 21.2G 76% /
Maybe you can use some other tool…
