Last time I was on I tried to install

yay -S opencl-amd-polaris

But was unable to due to it conflicting with some amd ROCm

Searching for solution

Restarting

I assume you checked these for help…
https://forum.manjaro.org/search?q=Black%20screen%20after%20log

The problem is not that I cannot login it’s that When I login its just a black screen
I can get access to the terminal and firefox But all my gui and everything is gone it seem like it has nothing to do with the ROCm or opencl

I have the exact same problem. It happened after some update but i don’t know which because i didn’t reboot for a week or so.

Odd This just happened to me today. It was working fine yesterday and the day before

maybe that’s a problem with plasmashell because when i try to launch it through terminal it segfaults. Or is it normal?

Hi all,
Please, read the comments on the AUR package repository in order to find an answer.
AUR (en) - opencl-amd-polaris

You can search in the forum with the words POLARIS10 DRM 3.4.0 in order to find more help.
For example, this post: ‘eGPU issues with external monitor - #28 by pobrn

Hope this help, regards

the thing is, in my case i didn’t do anything with this package and i have the same problem, black screen after logging in, no desktop, no bottom panel. ctrl+alt+t works and brings up my terminal. Animations are working so i suppose that kwin is running. Is that something to do with plasmashell? where can i find the logs to check that?

when i run startx in TTY2 I get: Couldn’t exec startkde: No such file or directory. Not sure if that’s something to do with my problem

I managed to solve the issue! Yay! the problem was with the “eventcalendar” plasma extention. The solution was to delete line: “plugin=org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar” in the ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file. I hope this solves your issue too @EmynFuin

Great to hear! I just reinstalled as I was to impatient so sadly i cannot test to see if this will work
form now on I’m going to try to backup with Timeshift
