[SOLVED] GDM restarts when I try to open a DE that is not Gnome

Today I have done a clean arch Install on my new laptop. Everything works out of the box but I am having some trouble.

Whenever I try to start a desktop enviroment instead of Gnome (tried xfce, i3 and plasma) gdm restarts, the only DE that works is gnome.

I'm not sure of what to put to give information. I have a dual graphic laptop but I disabled the discrete graphics.

Your Xorg log for a failed session would be helpful.

Re: [SOLVED] GDM restarts when I try to open a DE that is not Gnome

	Using the first device section listed.
[     6.079] (**) |   |-->Device "Nvidia card"
...
[     6.094] (II) LoadModule: "nouveau"

There's a bogus configlet in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d that instructs to use the nouveau driver - and you got an i915 chip.
=> either use the intel or modesetting driver

Well, I have deleted the noveau config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and now still tries to use the noveau driver as the log says. The ls of the directory is the following.

ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

00-keyboard.conf  20-intel.conf

Is there any way to restart the xorg config? I think it would be easier but I haven't found anything

Re: [SOLVED] GDM restarts when I try to open a DE that is not Gnome

Do you have custom files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d?
What's the content of those two files?

Stupid question: gdm writes the xorg log into the journal - this is not the same /var/log/Xorg.0.log, is it? Checked the timestamp of the file?

Yes, i have this ones but autoinstalled

10-quirks.conf  40-libinput.conf

What's the content of those two files?

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"

        Option "XkbLayout" "es"
EndSection

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Graphics"
        Driver  "i915"

Re: [SOLVED] GDM restarts when I try to open a DE that is not Gnome

i915 is the kernel driver, the one you configure in xorg is the intel DDX called, "intel". However this config as it stands is a no-op anyway since sna is the default so you could also just remove it.

Either remove the 20-intel.conf configlet to use the modesetting driver or install the xf86-video-intel package
