Display manager doesn't start

ptkato · 2016-05-26 01:44:53

I'm confused, a lot, I did an Arch Linux fresh install and installed lxde group. Then yaourt and did

yaourt -Syua

.

The problem is that I rebooted and it just got stuck, I get

[ok]Stopped LXDE Display Manager.
[ok]Started LXDE Display Manager.
... repeat 10 times ...
[ok]Started dhcpcd on enp3s0.
[time]Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devices-interface.device.
[depend]Dependency failed for dhcpcd on interface.
[ok]Reached target Network.
[ok]Reached target Multi-User System.
[ok]Reached target Graphical Interface.

And nothing else happens. I accidentally enabled a service called dhcpcd@interface, I've tried to disable it by the live CD, but didn't work.

I can't even access tty2, because 1 second after, it goes back automatically to tty1.

How can I fix it?

I did disable the dhcpcd@interface service by typing really fast, the start/stop of the LXDE DE is now gone, but nothing stills happen.

Boot to multi-user.target. Then start tracking down what went wrong.

My money is on this being a side-effect of following the horrendous advice out there on how to install yaourt "the easy way". If you are new to arch, you really shouldn't be using yaourt at all - personally I don't think anyone should use yaourt at all, but experienced users can make their own informed choices on that.

I ended reinstalling the system.

I like how yaourt just does everything by himself. Do ya know any other that does similarly?

Check out the table at the end of the article. Note that green is good, red is bad.
I use pacaur

Like any autopilot, it is probably a good idea to know how to fly by hand before you try to depend on the automation.
