Sddm login manger and others freezing after entering login credentials

FrostedFlare · 2025-06-01 03:32:35

Hello everyone. After using arch Linux Hyprland for around a month a random Issue just started happening. After typing my username and password on a login manger like sddm It just freezes. It does not allow me to enter hyprland and I cant do anything. The only way is to press Ctrl Alt F3 and then open hyprland manually. I have tried ly, and tried uninstalling sddm. I have also tried to look at all the jounal ctl logs on sddm and there are no errors. I have looked online and no other posts have been useful. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks (Sorry that I haven't included any logs, but I can give any more information necessary if anyone requests it.)

Also: Can you start an openbox (X11) or sway (other wayland compositor) from SDDM?

I have tried ly, and tried uninstalling sddm.

And? Does ly behave differently (nb. that it systematically breaks the session bus which is less than ideal)

Also, just tbs: you want to use a DM anyway?
You know that you can also just boot straight into a (locked) gui session?

Seth, I cannot access any other wayland compositor or anyting for that matter. I just tried sway, and It does not work. Ly does not really do anything different. Also I havent head of booting into a locked gui session, and I dont really understand how or why. Thanks

You do seem to somehow autologin, but then there's no attempt to login from SDDM? (the next session is you from TTY3)

FrostedFlare · 2025-06-01 08:54:19

Yea, because for a few days if I try to login it freezes, so I dont try to login. Should I try logging in with sddm and then sending?

Have you actually tried to log into openbox, not only a different wayland compositor?

FrostedFlare · 2025-06-01 21:16:18

Ill try open box. I looked at core dumps, however it says no core dumps found. I can confirm openbox does not work, while it still freezes, it freezes differently compared to hyprland. I have also tried using amdgpu by following the wiki, however I am kina a bit confused

seth · 2025-06-01 22:15:06

I am kina a bit confused

Try reading your previous post

Did you disable coredumps?
*How* does openbox freeze "differently"?

I have also tried using amdgpu by following the wiki, however I am kina a bit confused

Please post an udpated journal where you're using amdgpu and trying to start an openbox session.

FrostedFlare · 2025-06-02 02:14:41

Ok just spent like 2 hours trying to get amdgpu to work and now it does! Also openbox freezes differently becuase it freezes while showing mouse, why hyprland freezes without a mouse. Here is the updated journal: http://0x0.st/8YMq.txt Please help (WAIT holdup. I just realised the kernal parameters reset. I fix that now and resend)

"amdgpu", I guess that's what took two hours

There's no sign of any problem - does the cursor move? Try to click the right mouse button. Does a menu popup?
Pure openbox will show a cursor on top of a black abyss, that's normal. It's a window manager, there's no panel etc. by default.

Have you retried hyprland on amdgpu? And try weston (reference wayland compositor, it comes with a panel )

FrostedFlare · 2025-06-02 08:11:04

Yes the issue appears to only affect hyprland, while openbox still freezes. I have allready tried weson, and also hyprland too.

seth · 2025-06-02 14:56:51

Please read https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 - as long as your posts consist of vague statements that all boil down to "its does nots works", this won't go anywhere.

Don't be sorry, but if your want to get ahead with this, we'll need some actual data on the situation.

If you find a relevant coredump, post the backtrace next to the system journal

FrostedFlare · 2025-06-09 08:47:17

Ok. In openbox the cursor moves, but I cannot right click on anything and no box shows up. However as im a newbie I tried looking at core dump, and I found 3 but I cant figure out a way to show you. Also what journal do you want?

seth · 2025-06-09 12:08:26

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p2244187
Add "sudo" to that.

The linked wiki explains how to print the coredump.
What problems do you face with that?

FrostedFlare · 2025-06-10 04:33:05

No, I followed the wiki, and printed the coredumps, but I did not know a way to show you them, as I did not want to copy and paste 3 massive things of text.
