System doesn't boot, gets stuck on '[OK] Reached Graphical Interface' with the mouse cursor

yes thats what im telling you, that this libGL.so.1 library is the issue, which we tried to fix yesterday … do you have a manjaro usb? it would be better to fix it via chroot

Hold I got the ISO, just need to flash it.

hopefully you are not using btrfs? if yes dont bother, i dont know how to chroot into it, and following the manjaro wiki guide on how to do it doesnt work …

No I don’t. Ok so I’m in the chroot environment. I didn’t bother manually mounting and chrooting so I simply executed manjaro-chroot -a and it works fine, but it does say something about grub-probe not being able to find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1 and that I have to check my device.map. Is that something to worry about?

no the grub error is for the usb, nothing to worry about … ok, so now run these commands and post output:

i would just remove those 304 libraries … i have nvidia and i dont have them … how did you installed the nvidia?

I don’t exactly remember. I installed the non-free drivers from Manjaro Settings then I installed GWE to try and overclock my GPU and it didn’t work (greyed out). So I searched on Google, pasted some commands and download some nvidia library from Pamac GUI. I also remember I did mess with the X config and changed few stuff but I don’t remember much. It was just me blindly following instructions lol.

you messed up …

run this, just to be sure:

pacman -Rns linux515-nvidia linux419-nvidia lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-utils linux515-nvidia-390xx linux419-nvidia-390xx lib32-nvidia-390xx-utils nvidia-390xx-utils nvidia-cg-toolkit

if it gives you error not found or something like that, then every nvidia is removed and then we remove the libs

error: target not found: linux515-nvidia
error: target not found: linux419-nvidia
error: target not found: lib32-nvidia-utils
error: target not found: nvidia-utils
error: target not found: linux515-nvidia-390xx
error: target not found: linux419-nvidia-390xx
error: target not found: lib32-nvidia-390xx-utils
error: target not found: nvidia-390xx-utils
error: target not found: nvidia-cg-toolkit

so remove the libs:
rm /lib/libGL.so.304.132
rm /lib64/libGL.so.304.132
if there are no errors post output from:
mhwd-kernel -li

1 Like

rm: cannot remove '/lib64/libGL.so.304.132': No such file or directory

the rm /lib/libGL.so.304.132 worked?
if yes post the output mhwd-kernel -li

Yup

The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux515
   * linux519
