[SOLVED] Login flashes console and returns to login screen

Serpente · 2016-01-19 11:05:45

Hi,

On the weekend I installed Arch on my laptop for the first time. I have been using Mint for the past few years and decided to make the move.

Things are mostly working fine, but I do have an curious issue.

After the system starts up, it hits the login screen. When I type in my password and hit enter, it flashes the console screen (the one I saw during the boot process) for about a second or two and then returns to the login screen.
It does this several times, but eventually I am able to log in.

Sometimes I have to try 2 times, others a couple of times. I find that if I make several quick attempts, more fail. Whereas, if I make 1 attempt to log in, then wait a few seconds and make another, often the second will succeed.

It's not giving me any errors. Typing the incorrect password will not display the behaviour and instead will give me a failed login notification.

Is there some log that may help troubleshoot what is happening at the login screen?

I have done a full system update and am running the latest KDE plaasma desktop.

The behaviour does not happen on the lock screen.

It almost seems like Arch might be wating on something in the background until I can login successfully.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Moving to "Applications and Desktop Environments".

Perhaps.

Have a look at the output of:

systemd-analyze
systemd-analyze blame
systemd-analyze critical-chain

Then compare the times listed with the actual time it takes to get to the console login; if the `systemd-analyze` time is much longer then you may be correct.

Do you have this problem is you use a display manager instead?

Do you have this problem with other desktop environments or simple pure window manager environments?

Hi Head_on_a_Stick,

Thanks for the reply. My system doesn't boot to console; it boots straight to the SDDM login. It's at that screen that when I enter my password the gui will disappear for a second, displaying the underlying console, and then it will re-appear.

I was just doing some testing and after a reboot, I was able to log in first try, but after another reboot the behaviour manifested once more.

I checked systemd-analyze, as you suggested, but didn't really find anything hinting to a cause. It reports that the system takes approximately 24s to reach userspace. Timing it manually I get just about 30 seconds from the grub menu to the SDDM login screen.

I checked "last" to see if the login attempts are registered there, but only the successful logins have been logged.

Is there a way to temporarily disable SDDM and login via console? I could very well be an SDDM glitch.

Upon further inspection, I found this error in dmesg:

33.082088] sddm-greeter[346]: segfault at 30 ip 00007fcd195c69bf sp 00007ffcb234ff20 error 4 in libKF5CoreAddons.so.5.18.0[7fcd19592000+96000]

Docbroke · 2016-01-21 02:41:09

sudo systemctl disable sddm

reboot or logout after running above command.

Ok, so disabling SDDM allowed me to log in via console without any issues.

I had a strong feeling that this is an SDDM issue, so I did some searching on the below error that I am getting:

33.082088] sddm-greeter[346]: segfault at 30 ip 00007fcd195c69bf sp 00007ffcb234ff20 error 4 in libKF5CoreAddons.so.5.18.0[7fcd19592000+96000]

I found two threads on the manjaro forum that mention my exact issue:

https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=29830.0
https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=29857.0

It seems that the issue is a bug in the Breeze theme. Using another theme works flawlessly. The bug has already been submitted.

Looks like it's just a matter of waiting on a fix. In the mean time, using another theme or using auto-login seem to be the main work arounds.

Thanks everyone for your help and advice.

I am facing the same issue. I noticed this issue since I updated around 15-20 days. BTW, I am using oxygen theme and not Breeze workspace theme and yet I get this behaviour. I dont think breeze has anything to do with this since for login breeze has no role to play. I see a log of UserManager stuff on console during those 1-2 sec drops to console and back.

Serpente · 2016-01-24 01:55:31

Hi Chakra-User,

Workspace theme does not affect the issue. It looks to be caused by using the Breeze Login Screen (SDDM) theme under Startup and Shutdown.
Have a look at what Login Screen theme you are using. I am going to guess that it's Breeze. Try changing to something like Maui and see if you still get the issue.

After a little bit of fiddling I found a low tech workaround that works consistently on my laptop: clicking away from the password box then clicking the password box and the login process now works as expected.

chakra-user · 2016-01-25 15:23:36

Thanks Serpente. Seems changing the Login Theme to non-breeze has worked two times I tried since changing. Definately issue in Breeze Login theme,

Based on the last comment on bug reported (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358171) this issue maybe is a intel driver bug, I fixed it (without disable Breeze login theme) set DRI = 3 creating or edit the opcion of the intel driver (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf) with:

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "DRI"    "3"
EndSection

This solution in comment #13 works correctly on my Lenovo S1 Yoga.
Thanks Epsilom

I have exactly the same problem, but somehow I couldn't manage to enable DRI3 to solve it as suggested. I have a laptop with Intel HD Graphics 4400; fully updated archlinux-x64 (with pf-kernel, but I tried the stock kernel as well and have the same issue, i.e. breeze sddm theme exhibits this bug, and there is no mention of DRI3 in the X11 logs).

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf :

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
        Option         "DRI" "3"
EndSection

Here is what X11 log says:

Contents of mkinitcpio.conf, just in case:

$ cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf 
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="i915 msr"

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES=""

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS="base"
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base consolefont keymap udev autodetect modconf block mdadm_udev filesystems keyboard fsck"

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""

Any ideas on what might be the problem?

My case was a bit different.

I uninstalled a package with

sudo pacman -R <package_name>

Since I'm an ex-ubuntu user, I also wanted to remove the dependencies of that package, just like we use sudo apt autoremove there, i wanted to use something similar here, so I looked up on google and found https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/delete-re … n-command/.

So, I used the command:

sudo pacman -Qtdq | sudo pacman -Rns -

and little did I know, i removed xorg from my system.

I'm using arch with i3wm

So, the next time i booted my laptop to login, it didn't load up i3, and i was stuck on login screen. However, I was able to login as root user. I knew that this was happening because I removed something from my system that I shouldn't have. I tried to remember the list of packages that it showed up while prompting me and I remembered xorg was on the list.

Next thing I did was logging in as root and installing xorg

sudo pacman -S xorg-server

and I exited root, logged in again, and voila! I was back in i3!
