Unable to boot XFCE live USB

Support
49

Hello,
These last days, I tried to install manjaro on an old laptop (Toshiba Satellite C660 with AMD E-300). I first tried with KDE and then with Xfce, both had issues like the one described in this thread (Could not connect: No such file or directory, for KDE it was a different message I cannot remember). I solved both similarly:

  • When the error message was shown and the computer was stuck, I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open another terminal session
  • There, I restarted the window manager sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service (for Xfce) or sudo systemctl restart sddm.service (for KDE).
  • Then I was able to use the live system, install it on the disk and everything was ok, I’ve never seen the issue again.
