[SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

I have installed arch linux (for the 2nd time) this week to dual boot with Win10. I have the rEFInd boot manager working perfectly. After selecting Linux it shortly goes through the booting procedures (idk what they're called) and then ends up in a black screen, from which I have to go to tty2 by using Ctrl+Alt+F2. I have also installed and checked that the XFCE desktop environment is there, so that shouldn't be a problem. I have also added and uncommented "logind-check-graphical=true" in the lightdm.conf as it was failing before that. However, now there are no errors (nothing in systemctl --failed either) and it is still not working.

Here is the output of "systemctl status lightdm":

     #systemctl status lightdm

     ⠀ lightdm.service / Light Display Manager
       Loaded : loaded (usr/lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
         Active : active (running) since Wed 2021-04-14 16:10:55 UTC; 5min ago
          Docs : man:lightdm(1)

         Tasks : 5 (limit: 9124)

                        -462 /usr/lib/Xorg :0 -seat seat0 -auth /run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch

     Apr 14 16:10:55 voyager systemd[1]: Starting Light Display Manager...
     Apr 14 16:10:55 voyager systemd[1]: Started Light Display Manager.
     Apr 14 16:10:57 voyager lightdm[468]: pam_unix(lightdm-greeter:session): session opened for user lightdm(uid=975) by (uid=0)

I don't understand everything in the output, but from what I see it seems to be ok. I have also tried doing what suggested in this forum post, but when typing "systemctl enable graphical.target" I get the following output:

     The unit files have no installation config (......). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
     ....
     ....
     ....
     ....

I'm now quite clueless as to what I should do/in which direction I should go. Any help would be much appreciated!

PS: Sorry for bad formatting. I have copied the outputs by hand (for obvious reasons), but let me know if there is something I should re-format for clarity.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

I have set up the early KMS as suggested (in my case for nvidia), as well as added the kernel parameter "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" as suggested in this section of the wiki. After rebooting I still get the same results (both with and without the additional kernel parameter).

I had to take pictures of the logs because copying them by hand would have taken too long.

Here is the lightdm log.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

This looks like a misconfigured optimus system - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus
Do NOT use nvidia-settings or nvidia-xconfig or Xorg -configure to write a static server layout. That's going to fail.

You're trying to run the system on the nvidia chip, but there're no outputs available, so you'll have to use reverse prime iff you want to run on the nvidia chip all the time.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

I have followed the steps for the reverse prime given here as well as added the specific parts required in optimus for lightdm. There may be some advancement. The OS no longer leaves me on a black screen after initiating, but leaves me right after the start-up processes. However, I am still in tty, but "systemctl --fail" now  does show that lightdm.service failed.

This is the new lightdm log:

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

Post your xorg config, FWIW for the setup you seem to have in mind I'd personally rather use the config mentioned in: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … phics_only

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file.

Please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf but "Inactive Device "nvidia"" doesn't sound a lot like a reverse prime config - please explain in your own words how you intend to use the system.

Edit: I should™ have pressed F5…

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

The inactive nvidia seems to be lifted from: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PR … erse_PRIME though I don't really know the ramifications of doing it that way and it does read weird to me to explicitly disable and then try to use the nvidia card anyway.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

So I reset my xorg.conf because I'm pretty sure it wasn't good and then followed the advice by V1del to use only the nvidia graphics in the optimus configuration. I also followed a few other recommendations such as this one (at the start of the document). The resulting xorg.conf file that I have reads as follows:

It is probably quite bad and I'm still reading up on Xorg in the wiki.
Also, if by system you mean OS, then I intend to use it for any purposes it may be capable of. Be that working on tasks, playing games, and browsing the internet.

PS:Maybe worth mentioning as well that any "xrandr" commands give output "The Control Display is undefined", which is probably also a result of bad xorg.conf.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

... And does that actually work? The config I linked to plus the xrandr adjustment for lightdm should be all that's necessary for it to just "work" for the most part, a lot of things in that config don't make sense to me like trying to use nvidia twice once with nouveau and once with the nvidia driver and you'll have two distinct xorg screens that can't be normally interacted with without jumping through a few hoops.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

Ah, forgot to mention the most important part. Nope, it is still the same, leading to tty. As for having nvidia twice, I mistakenly took that from the xorg page, as I though it would help (but I've deleted it).

I'm currently thinking maybe it'd be a good idea to download optimus-manager, but maybe that just makes things worse.

The thing references the nouveau driver but earlier comments suggested that you were using the nvidia blob - which one is it?

Also, if by system you mean OS, then I intend to use it for any purposes it may be capable of.

I mean whether you intend to only use the intel chip and have no interest in the nvididia one (to save battery) or you don't care about battery and want to use the nvidia one all the time or you want to default to the intel one and only invoke the nvidia chip for specific tasks (playing games etc.)

Did you read the optimus page?
And by read I do not mean "I looked at the letters" but whether you understand what is discussed there.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

From "lspci -v", under the VGA controller section I get "Kernel driver in use: nvidia", so it must be the nvidia blob. (Although nouveau does appear as a kernel module option below) As for usage of chips I think only nvidia would be the way to go (as combined seems more complex) since the laptop is continuously connected to the power supply anyway. I understand what is being described in the Optimus page (and I have followed the steps for the NVIDIA graphics only section), though I don't know exactly what each line in the configuration means.

Actually it should™ be the zero-effort setup.

If you want to only use the nvidai chip, follow the link V1del posted in #10 - your config is vastly wrong.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

I have followed that link and the steps in it, but the section on using NVIDIA graphics only does not mention anything about changing xorg.conf itself.
It instructs to add this section: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf", which is configured as shown:

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "intel"
    MatchDriver "i915"
    Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

I don't have to do anything with xinitrc because I'm using lightdm, so I created "/etc/lightdm/display_setup.sh" (and made it executable), also with the instructed configuration:

#!/bin/sh
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto

as well as adding the required section under [Seat:*] in lightdm.conf.

#
# General configuration
#
# start-default-seat = True to always start one seat if none are defined in the configuration
# greeter-user = User to run greeter as
# minimum-display-number = Minimum display number to use for X servers
# minimum-vt = First VT to run displays on
# lock-memory = True to prevent memory from being paged to disk
# user-authority-in-system-dir = True if session authority should be in the system location
# guest-account-script = Script to be run to setup guest account
# logind-check-graphical = True to on start seats that are marked as graphical by logind

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

Remove it. The snippet in the article is the only thing you need.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch linux install not booting into display manager (lightdm)

Thank you so much!!! I have finally accessed the lightdm greeter instead of tty! smile
For anyone else viewing this post, I just removed everything in the xorg.conf file after all the steps prior.
I'll mark this as solved.
