X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

Good afternoon,

I've just installed Arch today and I'm having issues with the graphical configuration.

I'm following documentation starting from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg and I'm testing X by running it manually (either "X" or "Xorg" commands) and all I get is a black screen (not sure if that was expected). So far I'm still able to swich tty and terminate X if needed. Xorg.0.log did not show any critical issues so I decided to move forward and installed GDM (only the gdm package + dependencies so far).

And that's where the real problem arises. When I start GDM (systemctl start gdm) Arch freezes (sometimes with a black screen, once it showed what resembled a very dark gdm login screen and once it froze still in the console). The system itself is somewhat operational since I can SSH into it.

Now I'd just like some help to go further into this troubleshooting since I'm not sure what I should check next or if I'm just (probably) doing something wrong.

Hardware is an HPe 260 G6 laptop:
- Intel Core i3 6006U 2GHz
- 8GB RAM
- Intel Graphics Skylake GT2 (HD Graphics 520)

Re: X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

Get rid of your xorg.conf file. Where did it come from in the first place?
Also you shouldn't start X directly. Read...

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

It was created with Xorg :0 -configure (as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg).
Although I already tried with and without it and had the same problem.

Right now I'm reinstalling Arch so I can start over this issue from scratch.

Re: X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

Just finished reinstalling and did nothing more than installing just xorg-server and xorg-init packages (and its dependencies).

When I run startx I receive some output, the screen blink and then X is "terminated successfully" and I'm back into the console (no hangs this time at least).
I'll start now by installing gdm and see what happens.

Re: X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

So I tried many different things after reinstalling:

1. Just xorg-server and xorg-init. Run "startx" X is started and stopped real quick;
2. Installed GDM: Same original issue when calling "systemctl start gdm". Console freezes in black screen, unable to switch tty and the only thing left is to SSH and reboot the machine remotely;
3. Installed gnome: Issue persists;
4. Installed xf86-video-intel and mesa drivers: Issue persists.

Xorg log does not show any errors so now I really have no clue where to search next.
Probably will try a different dm.

Re: X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

And I simply switched to LXDM + LXDE and now everything works just fine.

Maybe my setup just doesn't like Gnome ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

xf86-video-intel was already installed according to the log in your OP and typically it would be the offender here - are you sure it wasn't present immediately w/ your re-installation?
(Notably since you cannot have added mesa *after* gnome - it's a hard dependency)

Run "startx" X is started and stopped real quick;

is typically because of your xinitrc, the default one in /etc will launch xterm and twm - which you probably did not have installed?

Pretty sure about it. I was very meticulous about which packages I was installing (also some Xorg messages about "intel" module not found made me safer about it). With or without intel drivers GDM+Gnome just wouldn't work.

That was on the spot! Actually I've also seen error messages trying to execute xterm and the blinking effect disappeared after installing it (now I'd get a gui with xterm and another messages).

But like I said above: I tried with xfce and lxde and they both work just fine. My black screen + freeze only comes with Gnome. But since all I needed was a graphical interface and was only going for Gnome due to habit I'm fine with the way it is right now.

Re: X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

It's probably because gnome/mutter is very OpenGL dependent and/or you might run into issues w/ dri3
=> "glxinfo -B" ?
Can you run "gloss" from mesa-demos?

Re: X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

Nope. You'll have to look into the journal to check why gnome refuses to start - the GL installation looks fine.

Re: X issues with Arch Linux 5.14.16-arch1-1

Yep, that's a weird one.

I remember checking gdm log files, enabling gdm debug, disabling Wayland, and nothing worked: didn't get even a single line of message.
