Need help with Live Buildiso

Greetings everyone,

I am still having issues with building the latest version of DeLinuxCo (Manjaro Cinnamon)

The issue has to do with Live ISO , the system boots right into a gui but does not login automatically and entering “manjaro” as password will not work. But, dropping to a terminal (Ctr+Alt+F3), and reinstalling lightdm using sudo pacman -Sy lightdm and then restarting lightdm using sudo systemctl restart lightdm will automatically login and continue as normal.

Installing the OS onto the machine works fine and boots normally. This only occurs on LIVE ISO.

I have tried this on x.org and Xlibre, makes no difference from what I can tell.

Here is the test ISO if anyone has time to to look into it: https://delinuxco.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/iso/delinuxco-testing-26.1.0-pre-260615-linux70.iso

I am just stumped…

Greetings everyone…
Well, I still have not been able to get Cinnamon to boot properly on live ISO. Just got done starting from scratch building a stock version of Manjaro Cinnamon and when booting in a VM (Virt-Manager) it boots just fine, but on an AMD Mini PC takes you to the login promp and password “manajaro” does not work.

Have to go through the same procedure as before…

(Ctr+Alt+F3), and reinstalling lightdm using sudo pacman -Sy lightdm and then restarting lightdm using sudo systemctl restart lightdm

I am trying to build with Kernel 6.18 instead of 7.0, but at this point it is a matter of just throwing something at the wall to see if it stick.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I hear you - I have been at the point of giving in - throwing the towel - more times than I care to remember…

When you have the live environment where this doesn’t work, look at the file /var/log/mhwd-live.log - not sure if the filename is correct - but you get the idea.

What is interesting is what happens when the hardware detection run - apparently it does not load the correct driver on bare-metal.

If you wait 4-5 minutes after entering the password (manjaro) and then press enter, does it still not accept the password?

@growler that actually did work, I rebooted the stock ISO again, and when it got to the login screen, I just left it there for 5 minutes, came back and entered the password and it logged in right away!

@linux-aarhus Sunday in the USA is Fathers Day, so I do not have time today to dig deeper, but tomorrow I will hunt down the logs and see what I can find.

In all honesty, I am feeling a little uneasy about my efforts in this project. I have spent much time and money in doing this project hoping that it will benefit someone out there, but Manjaro’s direction is still unknown, will the community efforts just go away, is the future locked down to KDE, Gnome and Wayland and everything else be dammed? I have enjoyed my time here on Manjaro, I still believe it is one of the best distros around and wish to continue to support it. I know that with all of the issues with Manjaro structure right now, a lowly spin is irrelevant in grand scheme of things but it is what it is.

Thank you both for your help, I will report back soon with what I find.

Not at all. As far as we’re concerned, there is still a place for all of the different versions currently on offer, including the various spins. :wink:

So something has just not started in time, and the fix is probably a simple systemd dependency?

Experimenting with buildiso was on my list of to-dos. :confused:

Unfortunately I have no idea what is causing this login anomaly.
But I also encountered this while launching another - community-based release.
https://download.manjaro.org/cinnamon/26.1-pre1/manjaro-cinnamon-26.1-pre1-260610-linux618.iso

I booted your ISO on my hardware using Ventoy and got the same result. It doesn’t work right away, but it does after a few minutes.

@pwx Thank you for testing the ISO, yes even though that is an issue with Xlibre, the default manjaro-cinnamon ISO still does the same thing and it is running Xorg.

And here is one that is really weird… I had let my MiniPC (beelink SER), 8core AMD unit sitting idling from the last test, where I waited for 5 minutes and then logged in. I restarted the device from the main menu, and when it rebooted, it auto logged in right away! @!&#$%^(!@&^#%(!? :slight_smile: I then shut it down completely and restarted, again failed to auto login and had to wait the full 5 minutes.

Keep in mind, in a VM it does autologin every time…

wow, what a mystery!

I still don’t know what the issue might be … I built a local Manjaro Cinnamon ISO using linux70 (stable) - which will not load the desktop upon boot - prompt for password instead of autologin.

  • ThinkPad x13 AMD Ryzen 7 Pro w/ Radeon 780 Graphics

The pacman.log list the gpu packages installed - nothing intimidating there.

I am not good at interpreting the logs - looking into /var/log/lightdm

The seat0-greeter.log shows a message about an error spawning a command line

  • dbus-launch --autolaunch .... bla

I am having a lot thoughts

  • pam
  • systemd
  • could be interaction between kernel, pam and systemd

But I cannot make head or tails … nothing useful I’m afraid

I am going to test a similar ISO but with linux618

EDIT:

Using a process of elimination - throwing something at the ceiling to see if it stick…

After building a linux618(stable) ISO I can boot the same ThinkPad with no issues.

The LIVE desktop open as expected.

As I can reproduce your issue in it’s full using linux70, I am guessing that we are looking at the interaction between the kernel, pam and system - which one is

I don’t know what it is - I am utterly clueless… sorry…

I have now switched to another test laptop

  • ThinkPad T495 with AMD Ryzen 5 PRO w/ Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx

There is no issue booting the linux618 ISO - straight to desktop.

Restarting the second laptop - this time booting the linux70 ISO - no issues - straight to desktop.

Retesting the x13 - same mysterious issue using linux70.

EDIT:

Next step - new ISO using linux71(unstable) - no issues booting on ThinkPad x13 and the same goes for ThinkPad T495.

 $ uname -r
7.1.1-3-MANJARO

I cannot be conclusive but it do point to the aforementioned interaction between kernel, systemd and pam security or a kernel regression or it could be something entirely different.

EDIT: 2026-06-22T22:00:00Z
I wanted to make a note of this yesterday but forgot.

With the aforementioned ThinkPad x13 which exhibit the strange live boot issue using linux70 a little twist can be added.

The system is my primary working laptop - it was only booted with the ISO for the test.

The twist is, when normally the laptop uses linux70 so there is no reason why booting an ISO with Cinnamon and Linux 7.0 should fail - it simply makes no sense - no sense at all…

Well, i am almost done with the latest IOS of DeLinuxCo and I still have not been able to understand why this happens.

In my VM, testing the ISO, it goes right the login promp, have to wait at least 90 seconds and then I can login using “manjaro” as the password. That was last night, I shut down the VM ISO, this morning, booted the same ISO, logged right in automatically, no issue at all.

I just hate to push out a release of the ISO with this issue, but maybe I can swing it as a feature :slight_smile:

I even tried Ai, nothing…

Wait Longer: The most reliable but least elegant solution is to simply wait for the full 90 seconds (or a bit more, until you see the login prompt appear). This gives the integration process time to complete so that your real password entry works immediately after.

Wait patiently… then log in.

It would be worth trying to compare the contents of the files in /etc/pam.d from a working ISO with those in the current one to see if there are any changes and, if so, what they are.

Logic suggests that the delay would be caused by a systemd service that waits for another service to complete. Usually this would be something network-related.

And yet, why would it change?

Because of the unpredictability of the service it waits for. One time it could succeed right away — e.g. polling for a network connection — and other times it will hang for a while.

The solution is to look over the list of services your ISO is starting at boot, and to see whether they are all strictly necessary.

by the way; is your ISO profile public?

Not yet, that is on my list of things to do.

Can you try a different DM? I’ve had so many problems with lightdm, including what you’re suffering (Cinnamon, Xfce, Sway, etc.), that I always remove it and install ly instead.

It may not be pretty, but it always works.
