[SOLVED]on a fresh install of arch, my startx will just give error

kashishme · 2021-01-09 10:52:36

Well, i am posting thus again because last time i screwed up so i hope i can do better.
Now, to the topic. I have a dell g3, and startx will just give server error, before it used to hang my computer but i saw on an old post that it might be nvidia issue so i uninstalled nvidia packages (all of them), then it just gives me this error (http://ix.io/2Lpl)
here is my xinit file http://ix.io/jmE
i saw an error in my journactl -b command, but couldn't figure out what does it say here: http://ix.io/2Lpp
Let me know if something more is needed.
also i have installed all the packages from archwiki xinit section, but still it won't work.
FYI, it used to work fine before i installed nvidia and lightdm, also i removed all their related packages, so that only integrated gpu is used.
Thank you

Please don' t open multiple topics for the same issue.

Will ask to close this one.

You removed the nvidia package did you remove the related configuration from /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
Edit:
@Archlin I suspect what has happened is kashishme running nvidia-xconfig generating an xorg.conf which requires the nvidia driver which is no longer installed. That does not explain why X failed with the nvidia package installed but no logs for that configuration have been shared.

@kashishme if https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=262461 is solved please mark it as such. If you reinstalled the system as you intended, abandoning the issue please contact a moderator to ask for the thread to be deleted.
