Desktop environment does not start on load. I have to run startx

I am very new to Manjaro and new to linux on the whole. I have recently installed Manjaro through the Architect installer and selected i3 for my desktop environment. I installed Manjaro as a minimum install so I am running bare-bones. The installation went fine with no errors. I rebooted and am just left with a flashing cursor icon and nothing else. I can get to the desktop by pressing ctrl+alt+f2 to spawn a login prompt and then enter “startx”. I have rebooted a number of times and it is always the same except the ones when it shown an error saying “Failed to start light display manager”. It only shown this the one though and I was still able to get access to the desktop via startx.

During the installation of manjaro i selected the “Automatic free drivers” option for display drivers. My card is an Radeon RX 6800 and I am running kernel 5.11. Manjaro version 20.2.1

If you require any further information please let me know and also how I can provide it.

Thanks

Please provide some more information. Could you post the output of these commands:

systemctl status lightdm.service
cat ~/.xinitrc
cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

If you’ve got inxi installed, the output of:
inxi -Fazy
would be nice. Please post everything as code (mark the text and use </> switch)…

Thank you for the reply. Hope I formatted the output correctly!

# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=()

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES=()

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck)

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"

#COMPRESSION="xz"

Personally I’m neither running xorg nor lightdm, and I’ve got different gpu’s, so I’m anything but an expert for your issue.

From what I can tell, your ~/.xinitrc seems to be ok.
Adding amdgpu radeon to your kernel modules might help…
Not sure what to do with the lightdm.service error message…

I’m sure there are some folks here who have more profound ideas.

Thanks for taking the time anyway, much appreciated

I had this problem and fixed it by adding “amdgpu radeon” to the modules section of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerating the image.

How do I go about regenerating the image? Thanks

Well, the way I did it was by installing a new kernel.

You could follow the instructions on the Manjaro Wiki where it talks about installing kernels with mhwd (I can’t insert links apparently) and reinstall your 5.11 kernel. It will regenerate the image in the process of installing your new kernel.

You were spot on the money. Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

Awesome! Glad it worked for you.

Thanks! Had the same issue and your help fixed my system too :smile:

:laughing: Awesome!

You run sudo mkinitcpio -P

The reason it worked after an kernel update is that above command is automatically run to generate the new images.
