Today I run yay -Syu and after reboot, Arch started repeatedly to output following outputs?! (I don't know how to stop it, so I cant access journalctl.
Any idea what to do?
Output:

So it's booting fine, GDM just isn't starting. Did you configure GDM to use X11? If so, you have to undo that as X11 support has been removed.
Offline
Thanks!
No, I did not configure GDM to use X11, (I only run system update as usually: yay -Syu) but in journal I've seen X11. So, I need to remove X11?
Offline
I've not removed X11. Just commented line in: /etc/gdm/custom.conf
#WaylandEnable=false
And restarted gdm:
sudo systemctl restart gdm
And nothing new happened after reboot.
But in journalctl I found line:
nvidia: module verification failed: signature and or required key missing - tainting kernel.
Looks like I have problem with nvidia driver... or graphic card went out of date.

Looks like you're running on the intel chip (nvidia module loads fine, though), there's no output on the nvidia chip but there's absolutely no

There're some named problems?

It seems works now. After reboot it took too long time to system start. So I tried to switch terminal. But, now it looks works fine. named works. But all works much slower than before.
Maybe Wayland works slower (I never use Wayland before). No big deal, it works now!
Thanks a lot!

Do you still have X11 logs around to see whether you maybe ran on the nvidia GPU?
Offline
Not sure. But i found X11 in some lines in journalcta (last session).

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.
You're currently running on the intel intel chip (what's normal on hybrid systems)
Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

yap. Sorry. I forgot code mark.
Offline
"code", not "quote" - but the X11 log is currently more relevant as to why things might be "slow" (then we'll need some metric on this)
Offline
Log in: ~.local/share/xorg/Xorg.1.log is pretty big. Is there way to upload file instead paste log source?
(this log is one day old. New log Xorg.0.log does not exist there.

1st link below
cat ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.1.log | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
but you'd usually look for Xorg.0.log - look into the file and check the log date to make sure this isn't from 2015 or so

Nope, that's regular prime.
But all works much slower than before.
Mind to elaborate?

Huh... long story. After turn laptop on, it took times longer to system start.
Firefox need much more time to load.
VS Code need ~20s to appear on display.
etc.
But, It maybe normal after many changes in last update. Have no idea.

Maybe errors like following (not only) cause slow system up?
Obviously something in BIOS I need to change.

You can blacklist spi-nor but I doubt that's relevant and I doubt that the symptoms in #22 are related to gnome/wayland.
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:
sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
and the output of "echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
And see whether "MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 firefox" vs. "MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox" makes a difference resp. force VSCode to use a native wayland client, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chromi … er_Wayland (ignore symtoms and VSCode is the same as chromium itr. All electron)

sudo journalctl -b -20 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st (just in case I put 20).
