[SOLVED] Dell 7548 UHD problems after big upgrade

Hello.

  I have a laptop with 4k monitor and radeon R7M265 / intel I7 5500U card.  I haven't updated it for some time.  I upgraded to gnome 3.36.

I updated the keyring and after downloading over 2GB of updates it went well until reboot.

X does not start on reboot.  Do you have a suggestion to give me or a track to follow?  Do I have to provide a particular log for this radeon?  Thank you

Do you normally boot to a display manager or console login ?

If a DM , add systemd.unit=multi-user.target as boot parameter.
Login as root , post full journal from previous boot .

If you already boot to  a console login and use startx/xinit to get graphics environment started, post xorg log file.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

The white error screen appears on startup. 

If I start a shell and give the startx command, a screen with three white windows appears.  And I put the output image to the travelskid  command requested. 

It is difficult to photograph with 4K but I try.  Tiny characters.

Buth if i scroll page there is hundreds of erros sections, keyboard ecc

Ok solved simply with command:

# pacman -S gnome

some missing packages have been installed.

it seems to go very fast, only I can't find the possibility to set a single color background as in the old Gnome....but that's fine, thanks at all
