Start problems, I can't go from the start screen (resolved)

After putting my password and press Enter, the message that always appears from the file system appears on the left, in my case XFS, before the desk appears, but instead of appearing the desktop I return to the home screen of session and I have to oppose the password again and this is an endless loop. If you start the system in terminal mode and run Startx, I receive this message:
Mesa: glthread destroy reason:Enable(DEBUG_OUTPUT_SYNCHROUNUS)
Failed to connect to bus: No medium found dbus-update-activation-enviroment: errore: unable to connect to D-Bus: Using X11 for dbus-daemon autolanch was disable at compile time, set your DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRES instead xinit: connection to X server lost
Waiting for X server to shut down (II) Server terminaste succssfully (0).Closing log file.

Can anyone add me to solve this?
Thank you so much.

  • Did you update lately ?
  • Where there error-messages ?
  • Was the update finished ?

Welcome to Manjaro! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

  1. Please read the information behind this link. It will help you to post necessary information. [HowTo] Provide System Information
  2. Please press the three dots … below your post and then press the :pencil2:
  • If you give us information about your system, we can see what we’re talking about and make better suggestions.
  • You can do this by using inxi in a terminal or in console.
sudo inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
  • Personally identifiable information such as serial numbers and MAC addresses are filtered out by this command
  • Presenting the information in this way allows everyone to be familiar with the format and quickly find the items they need without missing anything.
  1. Copy the output from inxi (including the command) and paste it into your post.
  • To make it more readable, add 3 backticks ``` on an extra line before and after the pasted text.
    (Wisdom lies in reading :wink: )

Thanks for answering, I can’t show you the output of inxi, because I can only boot by pressing e in the grub menu and adding init=/bin/bash and I can’t copy anything on the screen because there is no mouse and the output of inxi is very long.

How to boot from USB into live Manjaro (for repair):

Sorry but I think you’re wrong, because I think your answer was not for me.

Although now that I think about it, I can boot with a flash drive and execute the inxi command that you propose, does it work for you?

I have started with a pendraive and I have done a manjaro-chroot -a and I have executed inxi with the parameters that you requested and this is what has come out:

I was trying to get the number block to be enabled when I’m on the home screen and for that I’ve done this script in /etc/rc.local:

#!/bin/bash

enable number block

numlockx on

continue with the next script

exit 0

And then I have given it execution permissions with:

sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local

And when I restart my system, what I explained at the beginning of my post happens.
I immediately deleted the script, but that did not solve the problem.

  • Can you switch to a console with [ctrl + alt +F4] ?
  • Can you login (there) using your username and password ?
  • Or can you only login as root ?

(May be your login is rejected,

  • because the system thinks this is not the correct password, or
  • because the system thinks you have tried to often
    )
    As root you can give your user a new password that may work

Did you run startx as root ? (don´t !)

If I understand you properly, you want the number pad enabled on the login screen? You need to edit the etc/sddm.conf, so at the very top section should look something like this:

[General]
InputMethod=
Numlock=on

If I can log in with my user in a consolé.

4 questions, 1 answer ?

  • If I can open a console with ctrl + alt + F4.

  • If I can log in to the console with my username and password.

  • If I can log in to the console as root.

After logging with my user, I have executed Startx and I have received the following message:

“xinit: connection to X server Lost.”

As I have Wayland installed, it has given me to see what happened if I entered with Wayland instead of xorg. And entered. But since wayland is not fully optimized yet, I would like to fix xorg.

when you type startx in tty, take a picture of it and post it here, and also take picture of this:
mhwd-kernel -li && mhwd -l -li

I have fixed the problem by reinstalling mesa and xorg.

sudo -S pacman mes xorg.

Thanks everyone for your help.
