Hello there,
I encountered a problem after last update :
- I can’t boot into X mode anymore.
- I can boot and open a TTY (ctrl+alt+F2) and enter commands
The error message is “Failed to load lightdm”.
It happened after last update and reboot.
I tried to follow other posts instructions related to this problem but made no progress so far.
Below are the outputs of severall commands.
Here is what I tried and didn’t work :
- added
logind-check-graphical=trueto/etc/lightdm/lightdm.confand reboot - disable lightdm from systemctl and reboot. I can still see the message, but now the whole screen turn gray and I see a blinking cursor
- reinstalling nvidia packages. I’m still confused about which packages I should use and how to install the correct ones.
Could anyone help me ?
Sorry if I’m not posting in the right place, I never encountered such a problem with Manjaro. I used to solve them almost immediatly…
