[SOLVED] Boot stuck after installing any display manager on amd laptop

Lukas152s · 2020-08-01 18:44:30

Hello, newbie here, after installing SDDM booting is stuck at: Starting version 245.7-1-arch.When i boot without quiet parameter it's stuck on Finished| Load/Save random seed.

When i boot with loglevel=7 no errors show after Load/Save random seed line.

I tried - reinstalling sddm, plasma. Installing rng-tools, haveged

UPDATE: Running sddm-greeter returns: GREETER: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found

UPDATE 2: Just tried GDM and it doesn't work either

Please post the system journal for such a boot (eg. "sudo journalctl -b -1" for the last boot)

Aug 01 19:52:34 archlinux kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts root=UUID=83abba91-9597-4c8c-8b64-83b59ea35997 rw loglevel=3 quiet 3

The particular boot was limited to the multi-user.target (final "3")
Did you also enable the haveged service?

Aug 01 18:20:58 archlinux kernel: [drm] This hardware requires experimental hardware support.
                                  See modparam exp_hw_support

modinfo amdgpu | grep exp

Yeah, I know what the output is…
You've to set this, though I'd start by not using the LTS kernel.

Oh okay... let me try and i will let you know, thanks

Switching from LTS to normal fixed everything, thank you so much

Great.
