"logind"… Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

How do you attempt to start gnome in the first place?

sergik82 · 2023-08-05 04:50:09

I tried both gdm and from console I've got the same error

seth · 2023-08-05 05:51:49

Did you read the link I posted?
("no, of course not"…)

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

bakermensch · 2023-08-05 06:08:34

Just to be crystal clear, you did the "sudo systemctl enable --now gdm" yes?

EDIT: there are more replies that clarify this now that I've replied. Disregard.

Typo, login on TTY1, login into plasma.
There's no sign of any attempt to log into a gnome session in that journal?

There do seem to be too many desktop session services, though?

Sorry I gave wrong log I'll correct it a bit later

seth · 2023-08-05 18:10:41

How does this thread relate to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=287751 ?
Specifically

arch gnome-shell js error requiring clutter version 12 typelib file for namespace json version 1 not found @resource org gnome shell ui environment

pacman -Qikk gnome-shell clutter

Though the normal way how gnome fucks itself is through some 3rd party extension becoming incompatible with an update.

sergik82 · 2023-08-05 18:32:15

http://0x0.st/H_zc.txt it should be correct

sergik82 · 2023-08-05 18:38:24

It happened at Aug 05 23:25:17 according to the log

This show you logging in on the console twice and two failed launches of gnome-shell for GDM (ie. a straight duplicate of https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=287751 )
