Receiving an error when trying to startx

Hi All,

I am receiving an error when I run the startx command. Everything was running fine prior to trying to configure my touch-pad according to the Arch Wiki:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput

After a reboot my laptop was no longer launching into lightdm. It was dropping me halfway to a shell and freezing. I disabled lightdm from running at startup and now when I try to initiate startx I am seeing error referencing an error parsing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-lininput.conf.

I'm able to find similar issues with starting X related to "no screens found" but nothing in particular to:

    "Section" is not a valid keyword in this section.

I reviewed the Arch Wiki for libinput.conf but I am confused as to how my touchpad could cause the (EE) no screens found(EE) error. Seems like a issue with video driver. I did copy the 40-libinput.conf from /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d thinking that maybe the original file would revert any thing that I may have screwed up. Unfortunately that didn't help and now I am not sure if what was in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d is the original now. sad

I am reviewing the Xorg documentation in the Arch Wiki now to see if there is any thing that may help but I was hoping for some suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

Here is the 40-libinput.conf file:

Re: Receiving an error when trying to startx

What are the other files in that xorg.conf.d directory? Please paste the one that is parsed immediately prior to this one.

Re: Receiving an error when trying to startx

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d there is only one other file: 30-touchpad.conf

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
    Driver "libinput"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "3"
    Option "TapButton3" "2"

@$#!, while looking at this file I noticed that the "EndSection" is missing.

So I just fixed that and now there is a new set of errors coming from startx. I am going to Google this, but, for your reference here is the new issue that is presented. It looks like there is some video card errors.

Re: Receiving an error when trying to startx

Hi Jason,

So I was looking at the pacman call you made:

pacman -Fo /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev                                                                                                                 
usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev is owned by extra/xkeyboard-config 2.23.1-3

When I ran the same call with -Fo I received a message:

warning: database file for.... core, extra, community, multilib-testing, archlinuxfr, does not exist user. pacman -Fy to download.

So I ran pacman -Fy and it synced those package databases. With that said here is a link to my pacman.log. I felt it is to big to paste here.

https://etc.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com … pacman.log

I am a little confused as to what that means.

Re: Receiving an error when trying to startx

That log link is broken. Use one of the paste sites recommended on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients

Re: Receiving an error when trying to startx

[2018-07-01 14:05] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Syy'
[2018-07-01 14:05] [PACMAN] synchronizing package lists
[2018-07-01 14:30] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S xorg-xrdb'

Do NOT do partial upgrades, it breaks things.

[2018-07-01 02:44] [ALPM] installed xkeyboard-config (2.24-1)

So it is installed, but is broken in some way. Check with `pacman -Qk xkeyboard-config`.
