Not quite sure, but the issue is most probably due to the NVIDIA Graphics.

[Yellovv778]

Just tried updating kernel and updating Nvidia drivers. After rebooting, the problem still presents itself

[agl]

Hello,

I have the same Problem after the last update of ca. 360 packages: The Problem ist that the Lightdm starts and when the X-Server starts it died and then is repeating tried to start of lightdm.
I can login over SSH and then I give as root the command “systemctl stop lightdm”, so the repeating starting of Lightdm is stopping. Now I can login at the text console.

Then I try under my user-account the command “startx”: “The welcome music” plays but the screen ist black. With ctrl-alt-F2 I go to the next text console and see that the grafik system is started with the “ps” command. Bevore the upgrade I have selected over “optimus” the “NVIDIA-Grafik-Card” and it seems the the problem is the XOrg X-Server. I don’t know how I can select the Intel grafik card from the command line to test if I see the Desktop.

Hello,

I have spend a partition for timeshift and I restor the snapshot from 1.2.2022 → now I have again a running machine. The packet manager say: 368 packages for install.

I would wait until there is a fix of the problem with the not running Xorg X-Server.

Best Regards
Andreas (agl)

[Yellovv778]

Let me know if you find a solution to the problem!

[agl]

Hello, my Englisch is not so good, I hope you understand what I write here:

1. I go with timeshift back to the last working configuration.
2. I select with the optimus-manager the intel graphics.
3. I update the 377 packages.
4. After reboot Lightdm repeats starting → from an another computer I login into the Notebook and place the command “sudo systemctl stop lightdm” → now I can login at the console of the Notebook.
5. I install gdm and enable gdm → reboot
6. After reboot the gdm works and the login works too → I have a running system/graphics.
7. With the optimus-manager icon in the tray I try to select the nvidia grafik card but there come the message that I have to place two commands: “sudo systemctl enable optimus-manager” and “sudo systemctl start optimus-manager” → But it is not working.
8. With “sudo systemctl status optimus-Manager” I get more than 1 messages that the optimus-manager can not start.

But I have a running system with intel graphics!

It seems that the nvidia driver and the optimus-manager don’t works correctly.

Best Regards
Andreas (agl)

Hello everyone,

I am having the same problem on my machine.
Manjaro was working fine but the first reboot after update and it went black as the picture you posted.

@Yellovv778 I wonder how you managed to give inxi output after that.

Nothing seems to work on my machine not even net connection as I am writing this post from another device.
Whereas dual boot windows works as well as ubuntu from external usb drive.

@Thenujan the login link you posted does not work sa the command terminal does not appeat for any Alt+Ctrl+F(1,2,3,4,5,6) combo.
Alt+ctrl+F2 disables the mouse and keyboard input and Alt+ctrl+F1 restores it Whatsup with that?

@Shirshendu I dont even have the NVDIA as my machine has iRisXe graphics.

Thank you all for reading my post,
I am aware its relatively and unnecessarily big

[Thenujan]

@LoserLord

the login link you posted does not work sa the command terminal does not appeat for any Alt+Ctrl+F(1,2,3,4,5,6) combo.

You can live boot using ubuntu and then chroot manually and then try them

[HowTo] Chroot from or into any Linux distribution

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆ Step 1: Mount your system. This works for both GRUB and EFI systems/installations Okay, the first thing to do is to be root. To do so, open a terminal and type in sudo -i then hit the Enter key. You may then give in your password if prompted. We then need to create a directory where we will mount the target system. In this case, let’s make a directory named “chroot”, by entering mkdir /chroot in the terminal. Time to find where is your system located!! To do so, you may e…

Or you can live boot manjaro and then simply use manjaro-chroot script

manjaro-chroot -a

[LoserLord]

Thanks that works and I can chroot now from external Manjaro USB.

But can you please explain if I can run change things in my original installation from there?
Please tell me if there is a way do to so

Maybe so I can run sudo pacman -Syuu?
Or maybe I can undo the update of my original manjaro installation?

Also in the manjaro boot Alt+ctrl+f3 does not lead to the TTY screen it just stays what it is and the keyboard becomes unresponsive. and Alt+ctrl+F1 reverts back the keyboard but screen never changes to anything else

[Thenujan]

@LoserLord

But can you please explain if I can run change things in my original installation from there?

yes you can. Everything you do inside chroot is being done on your installation.

@LoserLord

Or maybe I can undo the update of my original manjaro installation?

i dont even know if it is possible but you can downgrade packages selectively

@LoserLord

Also in the manjaro boot Alt+ctrl+f3 does not lead to the TTY screen it just stays what it is and the keyboard becomes unresponsive. and Alt+ctrl+F1 reverts back the keyboard but screen never changes to anything else

live iso or inside original installation?

[Yellovv778]

Hello LoserLord, forgive my late response: i was able to get inxi output by logging into TTY2 , saving the output in a txt file and using curl to upload the file to a server. Took me 3 hours to figure it out

[LoserLord]

Okay !
Thank you @Yellovv778 and @Thenujan for your responses.

But I am not able to reach TTY2 or TTY3. The screen stays the same.

And return to earlier discussion with @Thenujan -

@Thenujan

live iso or inside original installation?

This was for the original installation.

So how to proceed with chroot and fix the problems I am suspecting the fprintid or the video drivers and want to change them

[Thenujan]

to switch video drivers
