[SOLVED] Startx fails on login.

tfwStarving · 2019-07-14 00:09:09

Hi I just recently switched over to a ryzen 3600 CPU and a x570-a pro motherboard, I hadnt used my PC in some time and had some issues with systemd that were fixed by updating but now when i try to login and start I3 with x the screen freezes. When i switch back and forth from a different TTY i get an error message saying to check the log file I am not nearly qualified to know whats going wrong here by reading this log file so could anyone possibly lend me a hand?

How did you install and configure your graphics setup?

I believe i used xrandr because I have 2 monitors it was a while ago and I dont remember the specifics but im pretty sure i just followed the xorg installation guide on the arch wiki.

Please paste the output of `pacman -Qkk xf86-video-amdgpu`

It says the package xf86-video-amdgpu was not found

Is your graphics card a Radeon?

I seem to be having trouble uninstalling the ATI driver to switch to the AMDGPU driver, i tried removing the ATI driver and just installing the AMDGPU driver but it says "failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)" and then it lists some files do i need to delete these or something?

This is the output of "pacman -Syu xf86-video-amdgpu"

Please paste your full pacman.log

How did you install Arch?

I used rufus to make an arch bootable USB and followed the installation guide.

You have installed (and uninstalled) amdgpu and ati at various times. I have no idea why pacman left residual files, but you can manually remove them and complete the installation of the ati driver.

So removing these files allowed me to install AMDGPU correctly which worked. However I am not unable to get my second monitor to display anything, my first monitor works great, infact im typing this from said monitor which is a huge improvement from running back and forth from my second PC.

here is the output of "xrandr -q" https://pastebin.com/Ley1JQeC

and this is the config file i had manually set when i first got this system running located at "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf" https://pastebin.com/Naf3ggwe

The displayport monitor is the one currently not displaying anything.

This is a separate issue. Mark this one as solved by editing your first post and open another, with specific details about the second screen and how you are connecting it (HDMI, VGA, etc).
