Wifi adapter RTL8821CE and black screen after reboot

Support Network
6

A solution for everyone with the same problem on XFCE and HP255G7/RCRTL8821ce:

  1. Install manjaro-xfce-20.1.1-201001-linux58
  2. sudo pacman -Syu
  3. sudo pacman -S base-devel
  4. sudo pacman -S linux58-headers
  5. yay -S rtl8821ce-dkms-git
  6. sudo pacman -S --needed sddm
  7. sudo systemctl disable lightdm
  8. sudo systemctl enable sddm
  9. reboot

I could still log in via the tty with the commands:

systemctl enable lightdm.service
systemctl start lightdm

Changed the display manager because:
systemctl --failed
“lightdm.service failed”

It’s obvious there was an issue with its installation and or configuration but its work with sddm.

Wlan works fine …
