Just installed Latest Manjaro KDE and the live system looks fine. I boot and see a login screen. I enter password and wait a few minutes but all I see is a blank screen.
Why no desktop? What do I look for?
Did a reinstall and when I booted to the log in screen I selected the second kernel option and also chose Wayland. Now I see a desktop!!!
I have several PC’s. I installed the latest Manjaro KDE. The PC I used has 4 G DDR5 and I set a 4 G swap file.
My profile might need updating so I will check it after this post and update it to the main PC I use.
When I installed to the particular PC I was using it is difficult to determing the kernel in use on booting as both start with the same description and it is hard to see the full kernel name.
I don’t believe that… DDR5 is still a new technologie and today’s PC’s and Laptop’s should have at least 8-16Gbyte RAM. If anyone would sell you a PC/laptop with DDR5 and only 4Gbyte RAM, i would call it scam.
Boot with your Bootstick and post your system settings from Live Boot.
I would call that a typical retail sales technique; followed closely by that glorious term known as upsell where buyers are encouraged (forced) to buy additional hardware in order for their system to be usable as more than a paperweight.
On the other hand, I do like to purchase locally, from small businesses, even if they are sourcing their product from the Mega Corps, even if it does cost me a bit more.
Not everything I’m looking for is always available at a smaller business;
I have very limited funds, even after saving several months, so tend to look for the best price; and
with my hearing difficulty I don’t really like interacting with too many people; it can be very exhausting. Especially people I don’t know and don’t know me.
