I had this happen before when i first installed manjaro, however that was before I had any files to lose on the computer. Has anyone else had this happen?

Welcome to Manjaro! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

  1. Please read the information behind this link. It will help you to post necessary information. [HowTo] Provide System Information
  2. Please press the three dots below your post and then press the :pencil2:
  • If you give us information about your system, we can see what we’re talking about and make better suggestions.
  • You can do this by using inxi in a terminal or in console.
sudo inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
  • Personally identifiable information such as serial numbers and MAC addresses are filtered out by this command
  • Presenting the information in this way allows everyone to be familiar with the format and quickly find the items they need without missing anything.
  1. Copy the output from inxi (including the command) and paste it into your post.
  • To make it more readable, add 3 backticks ``` on an extra line before and after the pasted text.

Maybe your update got interrupted? Dependency failed for Light Display Manager - #2 by ishaan2479

I’m thinking that may be what happened, I was having some internet issues before the update. I came back to the computer having rebooted to that screen. I’ll try the solution that is in the link. Thank you!
