SOLVED Arch got stuck on boot message dialog sda1; clean, files, block

Today when I turned on my laptop I saw archlinux didn't start

The boot process stuck at

"/dev/sda2 : clean, 849958/13516800 files, 8182641/54037900 blocks"

message

After a few minutes I tried to switch to another TTY with Ctrl+Alt+F2..F3..F6 and I had success

So, I tried to login via ssh through debian and I could, then the first I did was updating the system with

sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm; yay -Syu --noconfirm

Everything went well with the update process.

I did some changes from suggestions that I saw on this website. Without success
Like:
edit: /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet"

Remove the "quiet" value
(Reboot and the same problem)

add value "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="systemd.unit=multi-user.target"

(Reboot and the same problem)

Change the root pass vaule from "0 1" in /etc/fstab
(Reboot and the same problem)

As nothing worked, I undid those changes

I switched to another TTY and tried to launch X11 session via startx command, yes I've X11 instead of Wayland

That gave me some information before the error message, one of those lines remembered me about my touchpad configuration

Yes, yesterday I was configuring my touchpad for X11 and I had forgotten it.

So, I deleted the configuration file

SOLUTION:

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf; reboot

And that's all, archlinux booted normally

Offline
