I recently just installed Manjaro on my desktop computer dual booting with Windows. When I log in, my monitor says that it’s not receiving any signal and I just see a blank screen.
I tried the instructions in the forum post titled “System doesn’t boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message”, and I updated my system but it didn’t fix it.
The only thing that makes it work is starting the terminal with Ctrl + Alt + F2 with the startx command, but I don’t want to have to type that command every time I use Manjaro. If I type systemctl status sddm before running startx it says that SDDM is running.
I’m not that familiar with Linux/Manjaro so any help troubleshooting would be appreciated!

An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU you have, …
Welcome to Manjaro!
