[SOLVED] Sddm freezes when logging in

25hawkeye · 2021-11-24 06:39:50

I have a problem with sddm freezing when I log in. When i type my password in it freezes, take a look, https://imgur.com/a/llF559K Its not very descriptive though. This happened about 3-4 days ago and i can't fix it. I waited for 10+ minutes even with high entropy (whatever that is). I tried restarting sddm using systemctl, Deleting .Xauthority file, starting sddm from bash and none of that worked. One time i got the greeter but it froze too.
Note that I did have add the command "sudo su -s /bin/bash root" to .bashrc

If you need any file results, please get the gui to work on tty2 so i can post pastebins.

!* Im a new Linux user so please be noob friendly*

Post

sudo journalctl -b

and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log after running into such a freeze, you don't need a gui for that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services . Are you trying to start a wayland or x11 session? How sure are you you typed the password correctly? Did you check that the keyboard layout in SDDM matches yours?

Okay so i didn't find a Pastebin service that works because I'm lazy but i believe I'm using x11 and i did in fact type the password on my account correctly. But it froze on my other account too so its a system issue.

EDIT: i think ix will work for pastebin

Until that changes no-one here can help you.

journalctl -b : ix.io/3G10

Xorg.0.log : ix.io/3G12

Omg I'm such an idiot because I'm new. When i edited bashrc it set bash to sign in to root when konsole / bash was open, little me did not know it effected startup and that startup used my account on bash

Ah, you blocked your bashrc w/ an unconditional sudo call…

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Also note that unconditionally logging you into a root shell every time you open a terminal is plain not a good idea even without running into these kinds of issues. Not everything you ever do in a terminal needs to run as root and you can easily hose your system if you aren't using this correctly.
