Hello,

Would be useful to know if this started as random or after an update (that might actually go wrong) if you have a particular GPU … Can you access TTY log in from there and use startx ? Any errors there ? What kernel are you using …
Did you try, also from TTY to run another update with:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
And then reboot?

It happened randomly…I just swiched on my computer and I saw that. I tried the commands you suggested @bogdancovaciu

That looks like a DNS resolution error. Plea provide the output, a picture is fine, of:

ping manjaro.org

as well as

ip a

and

traceroute manjaro.org

and

route

This is the output @Mirdarthos

connect to the internet - neither your wireless nor your wired interface is connected
(you have no IP address)
once you have established a connection you can try again to update the mirror list and so on

power cycle your router - which likely provides your internet connection
or use your smart phone’s tethering to get a internet connection
be aware that an update through it will use a lot of mobile data volume

but this of course does not explain why sddm won’t start … maybe it will once you successfully run an update

Thank you this solution works for me @bogdancovaciu

You were right… It worked when I connected to the internet. Thank you
