[SOLVED] Xorg issue cannot startx + text console fonts blurry

Hello everyone,

Since yesterday I cannot boot into archlinux...

It's a double issues (see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=235600) since I cannot read normally the console when I boot normally.

When I type my passphrase on normally boot I have this on my screen so I don't know what is going on (img).

Before this issue arch boot normally so the blurry text on passphrase attempt was not blocking.

I boot from usb live :

crypsetup open /dev/mapper/thor-cryptroot root
mount /dev/mapper/root /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
cryptsetup -d /mnt/etc/luks-keys/home open /dev/mapper/thor-crypthome home
mount /dev/mapper/home /mnt/home
arch-chroot /mnt

After chroot :

su benoit
startx (can I do it in chroot ?)

I obtain this error on Xorg :

https://ptpb.pw/2-Gn

I try :
- reinstall xorg-server
- sudo pacman -Syu
- sudo pacman -Sc
- sudo pacman -Syyu
- disable lightdm
- startx manually

The fact that I cannot read console issue on normal boot where can I find this log (dmesg ? journalctl ?)

Thanks you in advance

Problem Solved :

1) For the blurry text problem after grub (since live usb archroot)
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … on-startup

2) Once I have the text in grub works, the problem came from /dev/mapper/root

fsck /dev/mapper/root

fix everything !
