Manjaro asks me to login twice

Just installed Manjaro. After turning the laptop on, it will take me to the login screen, which is asked twice.

  1. Login with password.
  2. It stays on a gray screen, with the cursor locked, for 2 minutes and half.
  3. It asks to login with password again.
  4. The gray screen again, but shorter time.
  5. Login completed, I can now see my desktop. Total time: 3 min 20 sec.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I dont know for sure about the ‘double login’, but …

To begin with make sure your mirrors are sorted and you are fully synced and up to date

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syu

So I would guess you want the drivers for your devices.

sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime

This does not really show anything related.
But you can get rid of some of these if you dont use them - like SNAP.
Plymouth is the boot splash animation and can be disabled like here


This does not appear to be the full inxi output.

And this is unlikely to be related to your issue.
But you do appear to have BIOS updates.

It turns out that my laptop has an Nvidia card and that was causing issues with Wayland.

The solution was to restart and use Gnome on Xorg to login.

That way it works.

Thank you for your response. The solution is here: Manjaro asks me to login twice - #3 by carloslugones
