do you even have working audio:?

  Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 16.1 running: no
  Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.56 running: no

also in the debug logs there was some xauthority issue, so post output from:
find $HOME/ -name ".Xauthority"

115

/home/edicao/.Xauthority

116

xauthority can also cause black screens, so remove it:
rm /home/edicao/.Xauthority
reboot

I am sorry, I forgot to mention that you need to install this before running lightdm as normal user:

pamac install xorg-server-xephyr

Then

lightdm --test-mode --debug

It works also in graphical mode (so in xfce). It is a so called nested xserver which runs a xserver as a xapplication.

no switching the Desktop Environment doesnā€™t change anything, but switching the display-manager would give you an alternativeā€¦ The are many of them: Display manager - ArchWiki

:notebook: It should also noted that if at the BIOS Fastboot is enabled it could have a negative impact like late initialization of the gpu.

@brahma and @megavolt

Tomorrow Iā€™ll try to be around and do all this. Just to be sure, @megavolt

After installing xorg-server-xephyr,
I reboot and run bash file in tty?

Edit: Luckily I still can enter system with startx.

@megavolt

Yesterday Iā€™ve got the same failed pkgfile database update, but Iā€™ve been entering system with startx.

Today Iā€™ve got

[FAILED] to start Light Display Manager

Sorry, I am tiredā€¦ just switch the display-managerā€¦

sudo systemctl disable lightdm
pamac install gdm
sudo systemctl enable gdm
reboot

Maybe that works.

Or sddm:

sudo systemctl disable lightdm
pamac install sddm
sudo systemctl enable sddm
reboot

Obviously only one display-manager (login manager) can be enabled.

It havenā€™t work.
Will just reinstall manjaro and hope for it not to happen anymore.

Sorry, thank you for help.
