hey!
i run gnome manjaro on my thinkpad w530. it had been running perfectly for months, and i run updates regularly. but about a month ago, i think after running an update, i got a problem.
sometimes when i get to the login screen i type my password, hit go, the screen goes black, and it drops me back into the login screen. the password is correct, typing in a wrong password just gives a ‘wrong password’ response and this is different. it doesn’t matter how many times i try, it just kicks me back to a fresh login screen.
to get into my computer i have to restart and try again, but this is no guarantee. somtimes i have to restart 4 or 5 times. at some point it just works normally.
i haven’t found any contributing factor yet. it doesn’t matter if i shutdown through gui or with the command shortcut i made. it doesnt matter if i shut down after closing all windows or not. it doesnt matter which apps i used, afaik. it seems very random.
now today i ran updates again, and i got a prompt saying ‘error while configuring manjaro-keyring’, so i hoped that would be a hint. but duckduckgoïng on that phrase didn’t give any situations that looked familiar. updating also didn’t solve the problem.
so… does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be? and maybe how to fix it?
if you want more info about my system please tell me to which command you’d like to see the response. i’m afraid i’m not fluent enough in code to know which you might want…
If you could provide some good information there might be users who can help you solve this issue.
The #announcements threads have common solutions to certain problems, it is a good idea to look through the last few stable update threads 2nd posts for solutions.
Posting the errors from the journal log could shed some light on your issue.

i really don’t understand a lot about this? is this a readout of my previous try to boot? that was one where it didn’t let me in. the session i’m in now is obviously glitch-free.
i also tried to change to gnome classic during login. didn’t help.
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

looks like it was already installed?
…and by turning automatic login off the problem came back!
…so logically i’d think the problem is somewhere around there, not in the drivers which should be engaged earlier in the boot? or am i wrong?
