Just performed an update using Add/Remove Software and can’t get past this boot screen. Any suggestions warmly welcomed. Thank you.

You should be able to set the theme using TTY ( Ctrl+Alt+F3 )

Fix breath2 not loading on Manjaro Plasma login screen

It really bothers me that I cant find the command for changing sddm theme. (maybe it was some qdbus thing …) Anyhoo … Its easy enough to go into /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf and edit for default breeze theme under the [Theme] tab: Current=breeze (the above path assumes plasma settings created the config … if not … it may simply be under /etc/sddm.conf)

Or you can make use of the lookandfeel tool (this will change desktop theme etc), ex:

lookandfeeltool -a breeze

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I’ll try this tomorrow and update the outcome. Fingers crossed!

[acurrall]

Sorry, but that hasn’t worked. I can’t get a TTY prompt with any CTRL+ALT+Fx combination. It just falls back to the above screen.

you have installed libplist and some other packages from the AUR, that are also in official repos, and now causing you this issue…

After last upgrade can't login, X not working. All of a sudden

Hi there, yesterday I “pacman -Syyu” and something went wrong. Now SDDM changed theme and it doesn’t let me in. I type the password and it send back again at the same SDDM login page. On TTY I’ve tried to refresh the mirrors and redo an update, no new packages, but I can’t install python-click and libimobile. Names are not 100% correct but I’ll check them later, if I cand find a working pc. Do you have any suggestion ? By the way yesterday after the update the system ws not responding anymo…

Trying to login with Plasma reboots my computer

I have been using Manjaro Linux on my Lenovo Yoga 9i for a bit over a year, and haven’t updated pamac for about half a year. Recently, I tried to boot my computer, but was met with an unfamiliar login screen. Instead of my normal ‘Nordic’ theme that I downloaded from online, I had the Breeze theme loaded with a message saying The current theme cannot be loaded due to the errors below, please select another theme file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/Nordic/Main.qml:26:1: plugin cannot be loaded fo…

but since you cant enter into tty, check this:

[HowTo] Resolve an unbootable Manjaro (black screen, login failed, cant boot, etc)

When we have problems gaining access to our systems it is difficult to gather information, let alone fix any problems. Here we will cover common causes and solutions to ‘manjaro wont boot’. TTY If your desktop does not load properly then you might still be able to use most, if not all, functionality by dropping to a non-graphical TTY. By default your system will have multiple TTYs, with each corresponding to an Fx key. Your desktop is assigned to one as well - most often F1. You can chang…

especially the runlevel option, and if you manage to enter cli, you can post picture of:
pacman -Qm
if you cant enter it, then you have to chroot and post the output from there, so we can remove the aur packages, and replace them with the official ones…

[acurrall]

Thanks. I ended up having to chroot from a live USB. Here is a picture of the pacman -Qm screen. Hopefully this helps. Not sure where I go from here…

[acurrall]

Thank you so much, Brahma!
I followed advice given above and have finally got back into my machine!
You’re a star, Brahma!

[brahma]

these packages needs to be removed in your case:

sudo pacman -Rdd ifuse-git libplist-git libimobiledevice-glue-git libimobiledevice-git

install them from official repos:

sudo pacman -S ifuse libimobiledevice libplist

you can also remove these, they are dead:

sudo pacman -R ceph-libs manjaro-documentation-en manjaro-firmware systemd-fsck-silent

[acurrall]

Thanks brahma. I figured out the first line from your previous answers, along with a little detective work. Thanks for the tip of which other packages to remove. I must learn to be more careful what I install.
