Hello! I’m a fairly new Linux user, so please be patient with me. I’m pretty good at following instructions and figuring things out. I’ve looked up my issue and cannot for the life of me get any of the solutions to work or people close out the forums without presenting the solution, so I’m frustrated. Please help!
I boot my PC and see “Failed to start LIGHT DISPLAY MANAGER”
I cannot log in to copy the prompts I’ve looked at running, from previous forums, it seems to be a fairly common issue others have resolved. Help!
I have had Manjaro installed since I want to say March 2020, previously mint, but it was a fresh install when I installed it. I COULD wipe everything again, but I’d rather not because of all the gaming packages I’ve since installed.
You may then open a TTY (basically a ‘full-screen terminal’) by pressing ctrl+alt+f5
Login byt entering your username (in lowercase), then enter the following:
rm ~/.*
cp -r /etc/skel/.* ~/
This will restore default config file for your directory!
May try to execute startx, to also see the logs, and see if it works!
I am not hard lined to the internet, but my internet stick is flashing, so I would assume. It is returning line after line of the same thing with increasing seq and time stamps on each line, below is just one of the lines, it’s still counting.
64 bytes from mail manjaro org (176.9.38.148): icmp_seq=196 TTL=54 time=141 ms
There are periods between mail, Manjaro and org, it stated I couldn’t send back to you with links, so you are aware there are periods in place where there are otherwise spaces.
Oh that’s awesome! Will I need to reinstall arch linux, wine and all of my other applications to make my windows games work? Linux is certainly better than windows in almost every way, but making everything speak the same language is rather taxing! XD
