[SOLVED]Can't run GUI, only terminal

Hello.
I launched Arch today and got suprised. It's didn;t start like always but i saw a black screen with;
"i2c_hid i2c-INT33D1:00: error in i2c_hid_init_report size 19 / ret_size:18". I can go to tty2 and do anything but I don't know what to do. I haven't Internet connection. My laptop doesn't have ethernet, wi-fi only. Could you please tell me what to do? Thanks in advice.

Re: [SOLVED]Can't run GUI, only terminal

Welcome to Arch Linux.

Is this an existing, working installation that suddenly changed?  Or is this the install media?
What GUI are you expecting to run?
Have you updated recently?
i2c and hid point to things like touch screens, keyboards, mice.  Anything change?
Laptop?  Desktop?
What do you mean no Internet, but you have wireless?  That makes no sense.  Do you mean you do not have wired Ethernet?  Is wifi working?
Can you log into tty2?

Respectfully, you may want to read the link in my signature on how to pose questions on a technical forum.

I have installed arch two weeks ago with KDE. Yes, I did update and I've changed to not suspend system after close lid. It's laptop so I haven't changed anything. Wi-Fi is not working. When I try 'pacman -Syu' it can't find host, so there is no connection. Yes, I can log into tty2.

Anything interesting in the logs?   journalctl -b

Thank you for help. After i checked journal i found problem. I tried to do autologin to system and I created sddm.conf in /etc/ and system was looking for something that doesn't even exist. I removed this file and everything is working.

Cool.  Be sure to edit your initial post in the thread and add [SOLVED] to the beginning of the thread title.
Thanks
