Cannot login anymore

[emninger]

All of a sudden, i cannot login anymore to X.

Xless login to another console is possible. Now, unfortunately, i'm clueless where to search for the error. Possibly, i did something wrong in the mhwd-tui hardware graphic-driver settings.

The working settings were

linux video               x        x
video modesetting         x
video vesa                x

I activated both both, modesetting and vesa (moreover, after suggestion of the installer of ungoogled chrome i had installed libva-intel, which i actually removed but that didn't change anything).

When i look into bmenu -> Installed driver i see video-linux, video-modesetting and video-vesa are installed.

I' m pretty clueless where to look and check and i don't know, where and what eventually to remove.

Many thanks in advance for any help (it's pretty urgent for me, since i need that machine in this corona-locked times. Teaching from a tablet isn't fun at all ;-( ).

You have to provide more info than this.

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information. When you provide info from the terminal, usually from your logs, you have to format it so the content is easy to read. First copy and paste your text/terminal/code into the post Then select the text/code and click the post edit toolbar button </> . Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

Since you're stuck in the tty and it's difficult to copy and paste to the forum, use pastebinit.

In the meantime i looked into /et/X11 where presumeably the erroneous configuration is.

What i found is this:

/etc/X11/mhwd.d/vesa.conf

Section "Device"
     Identifier        "Device0"
     Driver            "vesa"
     BusID             "PCI:0:2:0"
     Option            "DRI"   "true"
EndSection

Section  "DRI"
      Group            "video"
      Mode             0666
EndSection

Section  "Extensions"
       Option          "Composite"  "Enable"
       Option          "RENDER"      "Enable"
Endsection

Section  "InputClass"
       Identifier      "Keyboard Defaults"
      MatchIsKeyboard       "yes"
      Option           "XkbOptions"  "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

And exactly identical is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf.

Replying to myself: I found the solution.

It was that simple! I deleted the both files above, i.e.:

/etc/mhwd.d/vesa.conf
/etc/mhwd.d/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf

And all turned as before.
