[Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

After last update when I rebooted, I was directly sent to tty interface. I was confused but I suddenly recalled that grub was updated in the last update but i didn't those 2 commands.

# grub-install ...
# grub-mkconfig ...

So I did that too and rebooted confidently but that didn't helped anyway. I checked arch wiki found `sytemctl set-default graphical.target` and rebooted with again full confidence.
But landed again into tty interface. I checked journalctl and found when I had shutdown last time after updating then I recalled some issue occured after shutting down I was into sddm which is not expected usually. Taken out that part exactly from logs

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

I can come into graphical interface from tty by doing `sudo sddm` and then login as normal user but this adds an overhead.

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

Also after last update I have few things got broken like if I start few things which probably require some variables set then it simply fails. My soundcard is failing because pipewire or pulseaudio is failing because DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set. I found I need to do `export $(dbus-launch)` but that doesn't makes soundcard comeback.
Also I launched spectacle, it failed so I launched through konsole, following are the logs and second time it launched

$ spectacle

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

Yup I was aware of the fact the error I showed on the top was taken from last working as expected system. After that Getty simply comes over after plymouth instead of graphical target.

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

Few other things also seems broken like safeeyes is not working anymore probably it also depends upon some variable and showing next break at a time which is already passed. Seems it is unaware of current time. There is some meta problem which is resulting in these symptoms. I am just trying to put more of them here.

This day actually system was already running from a long time so I have filtered the majority of the process from where this all started on 23 april from "23:26:36" I ran

This started fetching core,community db etc. and downloading stuff happening
Around 00:25, probably(not sure) I pressed CTRL+C because it was still downloading.

I restarted the download with

I just went to sleep thinking it will shutdown when the process would be done but I woke up to see

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

One thing to note here is that coredump is not new because it happens most of times I update from when I had started using ALHP.GO repository. Currently I am not using that but there are many packages from that repository still there because there isn't any update released from official repositories so those are still from that repository.

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

Run a

pacman -Syuu

to downgrade/upgrade everything to a consistent state.

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

Ran again got logged out probably a core dump again but now I feel some of the things got fixed as after getting logged out first tty interface came up but it automatically sent me to sddm which was not happening.
I logged in back. I wasn't able to see that downgrade happening. Used following command

$ ps aux | grep pacman
root       31489  0.0  0.0  17832  6616 ?        S    13:24   0:00 sudo pacman -Suuy
root       31490  7.5  2.4 281936 197364 ?       S    13:24   1:27 pacman -Suuy
root       62348  0.0  0.0   5780  2004 ?        S    13:41   0:00 xargs -r pacman -Qql
amit       63429  0.0  0.0   6568  2412 pts/0    S+   13:43   0:00 grep --color=auto --exclude-dir=.bzr --exclude-dir=CVS --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=.hg --exclude-dir=.svn pacman

So it's running. Out of context here but may i ask is there anyway to start getting logs of a process into stdout from there pid?

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

rebooted nothing happened it's all same way. TTY then sudo sddm then login. soundcard can't be detected.

Edit: however, alsamixer can list the soundcards. I doubt in last update there were major upgrades in kde packages probably those are itself the reasons for errors.

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

For sound cards to be detected you need a proper login and dbus session which you get if the thing is started via systemd. you also need to not export dbus-launch anywhere.  Start the system normally, make the login fail, repost the full output of journalctl -b (without loglevel=3 set on your cmdline)

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

ohh yess...
sddm was disabled but how? why?
I enabled it and rebooted everything seems to work. All above symptoms gone. Thanks.


BUT WHY THAT HAPPENED ON THE FIRST PLACE?

So I also had plymouth from around more than 3-4 months and I have made no change not even changed theme or anything. So I recalled that there was some more configuration required to allow the transition from plymouth to sddm. During the process I found that /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service was a broken symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/system/sddm-plymouth.service.

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

And probably that was as a result of downgrade? But the problem was before that too.

Re: [Solved] Booting into tty directly, $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS not set.

Unless you've figured what anyone could reasonably need homed for and you didn't convert your logins, you can safely disable it again.
Also disable wpa-supplicant, NM activates that itself.
You somehow have cups.service twice.

BUT WHY THAT HAPPENED ON THE FIRST PLACE?

During the process I found that /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service was a broken symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/system/sddm-plymouth.service.

So you kinda replaced sddm w/ sddm-pymouth, that was broken and you probably just removed the symlink altogether, leaving no instance of SDDM enabled?

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.
