Hello there , I might have goofed up a bit.
I accidentally killed the desktop process yesterday while Manjaro was shutting down (I am an idiot).
Well , the results came about today morning when I booted up Manjaro.
On login , the desktop is black and unresponsive (no options come even on right clicking the desktop) , I did not update or anything , everything was fine until I did the killing yesterday. I am able to access everything , no problem , its just the desktop. Its possible I might have corrupted some driver or something. I tried a few things that I found by searching.
-
Tried
sudo pacman -Syyuto update the packages .
It said there was nothing to do.
Still rebooted , nothing. -
Tried TimeShift to restore yesterday’s backup to see if it might work , it didn’t . It still boots up to the black screen.
-
Tried to use
startxin console , it said this .
xinit : connection to X server lost
even though I am connected to the internet. -
Tried to change the desktop image , didn’t work.
-
Output of the command
sudo journalctl -p 3 -xb

- Entering and exiting TTY2 console didn’t fix it.
