Hi, i have a problem in manjaro where occasionally after my latest update today i can not login sometimes after the automatic lock screen it will say my password is incorrect (it is correct typed it 5 times, and checked it without hide) this persists on both my main pc and my laptop, and i need to reboot to log back in after this, here are the inxi -Fxxzzaa of my PC
Anyone got any idea how to fix this, thanks.
