Hello guys,
so I destroyed my home partition while moving/ resizing it with kde’s partition software.
Now manjaro is succesfully booting to the login screen. But when i type in the correct password, it goes to this typical black console screen for a second and than back again to the login screen.
Dont know if that’s relevant, but i dont have permission in the live System to change anything in this drive. (In the old one i remember deleting files etc.)
So what do i need to do to get past the login screen?

Press CTRL+ALT+F2 and try to login. If you can login, get the output of journalctl -p3 -b and lsblk -f

The live system should be able to do everything as root (sudo su) !
What do you miss ?

Strong of its many members, the Manjaro support forum can provide you help whenever you have an issue with your Manjaro installation. But in order to work efficiently, we shall also ask you to follow three major steps.

Unfortunately i am not allowed to post pictures or links and copying the output is impossible for me rn i think.
Username sddm-helper[1153]: chdir( /home/username ) failed for user: "username"
Username ssdm-helper[1153]: verify directory exist and has sufficient permission
I guess it wants the missing /home/username directory. Seems reasonable.
Now i need to learn how to create folders via console.

I will read through those links later and provide more information if necessary.
And yes i am pretty certain that i would be able to change something in this drive with the console and sudo su. Just didn’t understand why i cant without it, but that’s probably not relevant
To login as user there needs to be a /home/user with the right permissions, ownership and some basic content.
The easy way is to restore your old data
The hard way is to create this by hand

That doesn’t sound promising …
So I learned to save the terminal outputs to a text file now:

Your user doesn’t exist. What are the contents of /home?
ls -la /home
If the directory doesn’t exist you can create a new user: useradd -m -g wheel username
If you read carefully, the user does exist, but the dir/home/benjamin does not.
cat /etc/passwd |egrep benjamin
should get you:
benjamin:x:1000:1000::/home/benjamin:/usr/bin/zsh
mkdir /home/benjamin
chown benjamin:benjamin /home/benjamin
chmod 750 /home/benjamin

Thank you, that worked, I can login now.
But after
cat /etc/passwd |egrep benjamin
it gave me
benjamin:x:1000:1000::/home/benjamin:/usr/bin/
without the /zsh at the end.
Is this of importance?

Yes. this part should reflect the login shell for this user. Use chsh tool to assign the proper shell you want to use (bash, zsh, fish, whatever is your preferred shell).
man chsh
Do not manually edit the related files, use the system tools to safely do it.

Note that as you are on KDE, and probably your terminal emulator is Konsole, there is a specific setting for the shell used, in Konsole (in the custom profile you can create), this is only for Konsole, and is not related to the user shell (and incidentally, the login shell has no effect on the shell used in Konsole)./etc/passwd but Konsole is different it has its own setting, for each profile you create and use.
