Manjaro hangs on Dell logo during boot

Did you enable the service after installing the package?

I only installed Docker, java and some development libraries. Nothing shows up in the logs.

Yes, same thing.

Can confirm this fix. After downgrading to 5.4 LTS the issue is fixed. I was tested by restarting 4 times and it was successful every time.

Note that if you want to drop from linux-latest to linux-lts you’ll have run

sudo pacman -Rcsnu linux-latest

As described in forum.manjaro. org/t/cannot-remove-linux57-breaks-dependency-required-by-linux-latest-something/7679 (can’t add links for some reason, may be because I am new)

Thank you @Ciack404!

I’ve got the same problem, although the weird thing is that if I switch to another TTY and then back again, it continues booting just fine. For example, when I get stuck on the Dell logo, I can press: Ctrl + Alt + F2 followed by Ctrl + Alt + F1. The Dell logo then disappears and it shows the display manager like it should.

Edit: this was already mentioned above, I’m stupid.

This is without any doubt a consequence of your CPU developing too little entropy at boot time. Install haveged and you will be fine. :wink:

sudo pacman -Syyu haveged
sudo systemctl enable haveged --now
