Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

Installed, files copied, running "exec openbox-session" kicks me out of logged in session (multi-user.target) and offers to log in again.

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

You cannot start gui sessions from the console (at least not this way) - the idea was to try to log into openbox from SDDM.

Ah, right.
So it is getting stuck just the same way plasma does.

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

Install xorg-xinit xorg-twm xterm xorg-xclock.  Stop and disable SDDM or from mult-user.target execute startx.  Does that produce a basic functioning X session?

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

I've never seen "a basic functioning X session", however, it did produced something which includes a bunch of different windows with console running in so I think yes, it works. I can start spyder from it!

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

More of it, by running "startx plasma_session" I can open plasma gui, but it doesn't solve my issue.

Also, it is only possible from root, running "startx" from ordinary user doesn't work (just stuck, but can be stopped with ctrl+z).
The only error Xorg.0.log shows is:

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver i965

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

Post the log, not just an excerpt of what you think is important. This error happens if you have old HW and need to actually install mesa-amber instead of mesa, or if you are using xf86-video-intel while using HW that does not actually require xf86-video-intel.

Since this is a Skylake level CPU, the latter will be the case, make sure mesa is installed, remove xf86-video-intel and try again. Also ensure you aren't exporting MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 somewhere in your user local environment files, that used to be a recommendation years ago when iris was new and unstable and shouldn't generally be used anymore.

There're 20 seconds where he's logged in and almost nothing happened.

Also, it is only possible from root, running "startx" from ordinary user doesn't work

As root:

find ~ganja \! -user ganja -print

Then also try a fresh user, and inspect your bashrc/bash_profile (or whatever shell you use) - there's perhaps something stupid inside (though that would not exactly explain the xinit behavior)

Other than that and on a wild guess I'd blame mullvad and whatever AnyConnect version you've installed, but there's really no basis for this assumption.
You can still try to disable them.

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

ok, so I disabled anyconnect and mullvadvpn, added new user and I'm able to log in! Output for your suggested command here: http://0x0.st/oVp4.txt
~/.bashrc does have anything newly added so I'm assuming it is okay if it was working like that for quite a while now.


Removing xf86-video-intel was a bad idea or I wasn't successful in replacing it. I've tried just removing + following this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/intel_graphics - no luck. Then adding xf86-video-vesa and again - no luck. By no luck I mean graphical.target like boot wasn't successful saying something like cannot find Display. startx command wasn't working as well. Getting xf86-video-intel fixed that.

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

The intel driver (or you tongue) might have left residuals in /{etc,usr/share}/X11/xorg.conf*

stat /home/ganja/.Xauthority /home/ganja/.bashrc

The other files not belonging to your UID are some python stuff, you might want to look into that.

and /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist. There is a directory xorg.conf.d which includes

ls
10-evdev.conf  10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf  10-quirks.conf  40-libinput.conf

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
…
        Driver      "intel"

Remove that file, it's only cruft that causes you trouble.

I've did chown on this .Xauthority file to go to root:root today.

Own the bashrc to yourself and just remove  the .Xauthority - then try to login as ganja again.

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

I removed this line from xorg.conf and deleted .Xauthority files, actually three of them, I also had .Xauthority-r and *-l.

Now my old user (ganja) is, hooray!, back. Thank you very much for guiding me through this mess!

I'll label this as "Solved" and probably about to start new thread about setting up Xorg to "receive/send/ graphics correctly over "ssh -X .. ".

P.S. probably it would be helpful to change the topic to: Stuck at login page due to incorrect X settings, isn't it?

Re: [Solved] Stuck after entering password at login page

ok, I'll keep as is.
again - thanks a lot, appreciate it. It's really fascinating how much one can learn from one corrupted file lol
