Installation stuck on [Started TLP system startup/shutdown] on Raspberry Pi 3 b+

[ptrpham1234]

Hi, y'all. I'm trying to install manjaro arm on my raspberry pi 3 b+ but I'm encountering an issue. It would get stuck on startups. Right now it is stuck on "Started TLP system startup/shutdown." Couple of days ago it was "Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service."

I'm able to create my profile and all that but it gets stuck after it reboots. It never boots to the desktop.

I've tried buying a different SD card. My first attempt and several after that was on a Kingston 64gb, currently, I'm using a Sandisk 32gb and have tried twice on it.

I've also tried to redownload the image to make sure it wasn't a corrupted image. I use the "RASPBERRY PI 3 LXQT." I'll also list my process of flashing the image just in case that was the problem.

1. Extract the .img
2. Used SD card Formatter from sdcard.org
3. Used balenaEtcher to flash SD card

Raspbian and OSMC work fine on it but Manjaro is the only one I've been having some trouble with. Please help. Thank you.

Your problem might be related to this...

[SOLVED] New install, boot stuck on Started TLP system startup/shutdown

I strongly suspect that it's got to do with the entropy pool in your system ─ see this article at the Arch wiki. You could try... sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu Let it update, and then install haveged. sudo pacman -S haveged Enable it at boot time... sudo systemctl enable haveged.service ... and then reboot... sudo systemctl reboot Please let us know whether that solved the issue. If it didn't, then it's either way not a bad thing to have haveged installed.

I've connected to the internet and tried sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 && sudo pacman -Syyubut it's giving me the error unable to unit server: could not connect: connection refused

I've tried `sudo pacman-mirrors -g' and it can't connect.

I have a feeling it's my DNS that's having an issue because I can't ping google.com. Says "Name or service not known" know anyway to fix that?

Can you ping IP addresses?

[ptrpham1234]

Yeah, I can ping ip addresses just fine. I just went away and don't have my pi with me. I'll try to solve it once I get home.

We have had mixed results with the rpi3b+. Some have it working, others don't.

The display problem could be because of a missing driver. Some components are different in the 3b and 3b+.

Regarding the internet issue, you can disable systemd-resolved and see if that fixes it.

sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved

and then reboot.
When you have internet, try updating your system and reboot again. Maybe some firmware update fixed it.
