LDM - XFCE black screen after updating.

Al1nuX · 2018-08-16 06:15:02

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting my GUI to run after updating using Pacman.

I have an Nvidia 550GTX GPU, The machine boots the kernel until it reaches the part to run the LDM and XFCE.

I get a black screen after that.

Please help.

Regards

Post your pacman log, and the journal entries for LDM and your Xorg.log.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

Thw problem is i cannot get the terminal screen, the screen gets black just after the end of the kernel boot messages.

So i cannot send the logs.

This happened after the update.

I have also removed LDM with pacman. But still, the same black screen.

I'm able to get the teminal now and start X11 by using the startx command.

I have added nomodeset to the kernel by using the GRUB boot menu.

i'm not sure if the nomodeset will affect anything.
