Yesterday I decided to install kernel version 5.19.7-1-MANJARO. After two hours of using the computer, I rebooted it due to lags. After a reboot, xfce stopped running.
These are all the messages that I saw at startup:
/dev/sda1: clean, 1627541/61054976 files, 75107376/244189752 blocks
[FAILED] Failed to start Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of leds:dell::kbd
After them, the cursor blinks on a blank screen.
Please help because this is the first time I’ve encountered this error.
so try clearing some space, run this: sudo pacman -Scc
run again: startx and see if it helped
if not, are the any logs on the screen when you run startx? if yes take a picture of them

Remembered!
I also decided to install the hardware drivers in the Manjaro Settings Manager, and installed the latest drivers for video-linux, video-modesettings and video-vesa.
Could this affect the launch of the interface?
You really do not need those, and video-vesa most likely is not helping your system because is a generic fallback driver which should not be used in the vast majority of cases.
