GUI not starting with system

Hi @Sivar, welcome to the forum!

Did you happen to delete orphaned packages after your latest update?

If so, please see my post(s) here:

Manjaro boots only to Terminal

Hi @Free-Neon, welcome to the forum. Looks like you removed a bit too much with your orphan-cleaning, orphan cleaning isn’t reccomended unless you know exeactly what you’re removing (or at least have a timeshift snapshot you can roll back to if something goes wrong ). Please see the post linked below – it should solve your issue. Basically you need to reinstall gdm which you likely removed as one of the orphans.

or if you want to jump straight to the solution:

Manjaro boots into tty1, graphics disabled

Did you happen to remove orphan packages after updating? If so, you may have accidentally removed gdm (GNOME Display Manager). If so, you can install it and restart the service from a TTY: sudo pacman -S gdm systemctl restart gdm

gdm which is needed was falsely orphaned the last update, and a few people now have run into this issue since they deleted orphans (which is not recommended, see first thread linked above).
