Manjaro boots into tty1, graphics disabled

When I tried to boot my computer today, it launched into tty1 instead of gnome.

I got gnome to launch with

startx

but this is obviously not a great solution for the long term.

I really have no idea whats going on but three weird things I’ve noticed:

  1. After launching gnome I got a notification about some kind of display lock being disabled, but the notification immediately disappeared.
  2. Both 1Password and Jetbrains Toolbox asked to create a vault to store passwords in which they have never asked before, so thats weird
  3. When I tried to use some of my custom shortcuts is spammed them for a bit and it didn’t appear to be working, then in the next five minutes the shortcut was run like every 30 seconds so it appears there is something slowing the cpu, but the pc itself seems fast as usual.

Here is some general information about my system:

I know all of this sounds kinda random but maybe some of you detectives know more than me :slight_smile:
Thanks in advance

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

I would do “sudo mkinitcpio -P” and “sudo update-grub”

Yes, I did, thanks! How’d you know that was the issue?

You’re not the only one who did it, that’s why. :wink:
