Only able to boot to Gnome-Wayland but not xorg

grandadevans · 2016-03-18 03:26:47

Hi All,

First of all I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place and I have to say that this is my first time using Arch.

I installed Arch as per instructions in Wiki. Most things are fine but the one issue I have is that I cannot use Gnome/Gnome classic or Cinnamon (inc. software rendered). All I can use is Gnome on Wayland.

When I try logging into one of the above (except Wayland) from GDM I get a blank screen with standard GDM speckled dark background and that is it. I am then unable to get a tty up with CTRL+ALT+[1-7] and nothing happens.

I am not sure if it related but the first entry on the screen after the grub disapears is regarding a failure of systemd-modules-load.service but the very next entry flushed the journal so I cannot get an error from it. If I do run

systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

I get

!514 $ systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
● systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)

           man:modules-load.d(5)
  Process: 182 ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 182 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable.

Like I said: I am not sure if this has anything to do with my x problems or not.

I wouldn't mind just sticking with Wayland but there are several applications that seem to have an issue with placement of their windows/overlays.

Any help would be appreciated. What logs etc can I provide in order to help you. Sorry for the lack of information but after many hours of trying to solve this I'm shattered and everything I try seems to go going round in circles and I keep trying the same things. I have a few more things to try tonight but in case they fail I shall post this now.

EDIT: additional information
I do not have an xorg.conf and the xorg.conf.d? directory is empty.

I have tried a few things since I wrote this thread and at some point a log entry has ben created

So I have not been able to get one that way.

I do have Ubuntu on another partition on the same drive but the X11 structure is quite different. I have copied the entire directory anyway...I know it's a bad idea but I am going to get rid of x and re-install it so that should take care of any differences.
Thanks in advance,
John

I told you I was shattered last night. I now remember getting x working but it wouldn't let me log in. I tried as my own user and as root but even though I know the username/password combo was correct for both it just kept going back to the login screen.

I am however able to open up a tty and run

sudo systemctl start gdm

so at least I can get back into a visual mode.

gdm presents you a graphical screen? So your drivers work fine?

Before you created an Xorg.conf X worked fine according to the log:

[   183.880] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

Remove the Xorg.conf that you created. Then follow this page to try create an xinitrc and try starting X with startx.

I am not sure if it related but the first entry on the screen after the grub disapears is regarding a failure of systemd-modules-load.service but the very next entry flushed the journal so I cannot get an error from it.

try journalctl | grep systemd-modules

What GPU do you have?

Did you install xf86-video-ati ?

Hi Guys (excuse sex),

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. A mixture of an Open University assignment and lack of sleep have kept me from here.

I managed to solve it eventually (but before Tetris11 replied). I am not exactly sure what was causing it. Looking back at my history it seems pretty much to coincide with my memory. I enabled gdm and the last entry in my history before I started on my assignment was

sudo pacman -S xorg-drivers

I will still go through the replies and see if anything was relevant but at the minute I need to lay down (I'm also suffering from complications post-spinal surgery so can't stay sat up for too long).

Thanks for your help everybody. If I see any replies that would have been relevant I'll create another reply.
