Hi everyone,
just installed Manjaro for the first time. Live environment worked nicely & installation finished without any errors, but now I can’t get the GUI to load (I chose XFCE as desktop environment). When booting into Manjaro, the screen just stays black unless I use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to go into tty-mode.
I’ve already done sudo pacman-mirrors -f3 and sudo pacman -Syyu (there were updates), rebooted, still nothing. (can’t link the thread with this fix because my account is new)
Then I tried startx (step 2 in thread) which flickered the screen and then exited with an error message like “xinit: Connection to server lost”.
In the logs there were two error lines (EE):
(EE) Failed to load module “fbdev” (module does not exist, 0)
and
(EE) Failed to load module “vesa” (module does not exist, 0)
I read somewhere that vesa is some sort of fallback driver module.
Should these modules be installed? If so, how do I do that?
What else can I try to fix this?
