GDBus.Error
I'm running i3 and sddm with Nvidia card.
After an update last night I'm getting a blank screen at login as if my video driver is not loaded and the system halts during boot.
After poking around a bit I fund this error: "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.PackageKit: The name PackageKit was not provided by any .service files"
Now, I do not know what cause that issue but it seems as if GDBus is no longer found or is missing.
Any ideas to troubleshoot this problem?
NOTE: It's hard to get log files out of my Linux box because I have to load it using an install USB drive, load the partitions and chroot to be able to find anything.

Re: GDBus.Error
Sorry. I do not follow.
You are suggesting that I change kernel? Could you explain how that would help fix the problem?
Thanks.

Re: GDBus.Error
Depending what kind of hardware you're using it can be the factor. On the older boxes the most recent kernel version can trigger a very weird bugs, the more so with nvidia proprietary drivers. I'd try a LTS kernel at first.

Re: GDBus.Error
I see what you mean. But I do not think is the problem.
This system has been working for almost 2 years now with the same kernel.
Thanks though.

Re: GDBus.Error
The quoted message just says that something's trying to use package kit which you don't have installed. That's not an abnormal message, and unless it's a symptom of an overall DBus problem I doubt it's even related to your actual problem.
You'll have to show a full log, i.e. "journalctl -b | curl -Ffile=@- https://0x0.st". You'll also want to show the latest Xorg log.
