failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

Hi I am Rupesh from India and I have brought a new system with AMD Ryzen zen3 5500GT and Asus prime b450 motherboard. I have installed Arch Linux successfully and installed various desktop environments. At present I can't login into gtk based desktop environments.

After installation of Arch Linux basic packages I have installed all the available desktop environments like gnome, cinnamon, mate, xfce, plasma and others like Maxx-desktop which is from AUR.

I have also installed trinity desktop environment.

At present I am able to enter into trinity desktop environment and KDE plasma desktop environment but I can't enter into cinnamon, mate, xfce and gnome through SDDM display manager.

After entering username and password in SDDM display manager and pressing login button within five seconds I am getting back into SDDM display manager.

I am providing the logs of journalctl and dmesg below.

Re: failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

Dmesg log is as follows

https://bpa.st/ZPWQ.

All the required information is present in journalctl log not in dmesg log but I have provided for further information.

Try to examine last few lines in journalctl log.

Re: failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

Instead of posting the kernel messages and some random lines from the journal, post the entire system journal after a failed login attempt.

Re: failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

I think that main problem is present in the following few lines 

Jun 25 17:46:59 Rupesh dbus-broker-launch[850]: Ignoring duplicate name 'org.freedesktop.Notifications' in service file '/usr/share//dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service'

Jun 25 17:47:33 Rupesh sddm-helper[1099]: gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file

As you suggested I will post the full log.

I have used the command "journalctl -b -p 3" but can you suggest the proper command to obtain the full logs and other information.

Re: failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

The $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS isn't exported…
Do you still log in with sddm?
Is this sddm from the repos?
What kind of frankenstein-system is this tbw?

And why in god's name are your logged in as UID 1001 but there's a reference to  /root/.trinity?

Re: failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

Hi I am using several desktop environments and the last is the output of printenv from the trinity desktop environment.

The following is the output of printenv after failed gnome session.

SHELL=/usr/bin/bash
XDG_SEAT=seat0
PWD=/build2/build2
LOGNAME=build2
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=tty
MOTD_SHOWN=pam

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1001/bus
MAIL=/var/spool/mail/build2
_=/usr/bin/printenv

Something is wrong and the examination of the above output can be helpful.

Re: failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1001/bus

The session bus is there, can you 

loginctl session-status

That being said, this isn't necessarily what gnome and cinnamon see when you start them, because that's from a console login, right?
SDDM is the version from the repos?

Re: failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

Hi I am able to run cinnamon mate xfce and gnome desktop environments through startx as follows from tty command line.

startx /usr/bin/cinnamon-session
startx /usr/bin/mate-session
startx /usr/bin/xfce-session
startx /usr/bin/gnome-session

But I can't start through SDDM display manager.

Re: failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

Another important thing is gtk based desktop environments are not working but others all are working fine.

Re: failed to start gtk based desktop environments from sddm.

This hasn't anything to do w/ "gtk-based", you don't have a proper session bus when logging in via sddm - what is a bit odd, but also despite the missing environment you can actually talk to the session bus from TDE
Let's see whether any package got shredded:

sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files' | grep -v backup
