Black Unresponsive Screen on Logging in after boot.

I recently created my new arch build. I use Gnome 46.

Also sometimes the system freezes. This has never happened before in my previous builds.

The only way to get out of this is to hard shutdown the laptop.

I am new to arch linux. Can anyone help me figure out why this problem is happening and how can it be resolved.

look in your journal :

sudo journalctl -b -1

post it here if needed :

curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st < file

Can you reliably log into different sessions?
(in doubt just openbox or sway)

There're a lot of threads about freezes when trying to log into gnome 46 (since gnome 46 and gnome 46 specifically and only)

I haven't tried openbox or sway. But after the boot when user screen shows up, after i enter my password and it is accepted. The black unresponsive screen appears. @seth

Openbox showed a similar blank screen. The mouse cursor moved but not response to any keys.

icewm worked but i cannot work with that ui.

Should i just downgrade GNOME?

Openbox worked, there isn't much of a GUI by default.
Not sure how good of an idea it is to downgrade gnome in isolation, is the deterministic? (Most people experience a rance condition, sometimes the login succeeds, sometimes it doesn't)

Can you log into a gnome session w/ a fresh user account (ie. is this specific to yor local gnome config)?

To resolve system freezes, try downgrading to 6.6.27-1-lts.
I've been using Arch Linux for a couple of years without significant issues.
However, after upgrading to version 6.6.28-1-lts recently, I experienced numerous freezes.
Downgrading was the only solution that helped.

Do your "system freezes" manifest as failure to log into gnome 46 sessions?

no, it's complete freezes, and downgrading that I mentioned earlier actually didn't fix the issue. I will create another topic.
