Hi everyone! Hope you are having a nice day.
I’m a total noob, and I thought that it would be nice to start with manjaro as my first linux distro. I’ve installed Manjaro on a partition, and when I boot there, it takes me to a gnome initial setup, I completed the form and clicked in start enjoying manjaro or something like that. But when I do that, it just closes that window and leaves me with a blank desktop only with se upper bar, and does nothing. Even when I restarted a few times and so. I don’t know if I should reinstall it or if there is a way to fix it. I’ve installed it with a USB flashed with the ISO image.
Checked the iso and nothing strange was seen.
I can’t open the command line or anything.
When I try to log out, it says that I’m logging out from gnome’s initial setup and then leaves me with a black screen.
Download your iso from OSDN and select the Kernel 5.4 there…install that iso with 5.4 kernel…
And please share your system specs

Normally it logs out and logs you back in with your new created user. What happens if you restart the PC?
I had the same problem. What solved it for me was not using any capital letters when creating username. I reinstalled the system 3-4 times prior to that and nothing else suggested in other forums worked, but just putting a username in all lower case letters seemed to do the trick (that’s right after having chosen the language and keyboard layout).
