Login in send me back to the login screen

[Loupning]

HI, I just updated Manjaro Deepin and after a while I decided to reboot and since then each time I login it send me back to the login screen, I can't access the console environment with ctrl+alt+F1 this is the first time this is happening to me and I really don't know what to do now...

I would love some help.

(I've searched around but I didn't seem to have found an issue like it.)

Can you supply a bit more info, like video card, drivers, hardware, dm etc.

[Loupning]

I have; GPU: Radeon HD 6670 using proprietary driver, CPU: AMD Phenom X3 8450 RAM: 6GB; I forgot to mention that its also a fresh install....

I believe it is a known problem with the tty and non-free drivers.

Chroot into your system and swap to the free driver.

How to save your Manjaro installation when it breaks

Some of you might have had it happen, a Linux installation on your computer that breaks after installing certain software, after installing updates or after editing a configuration file. Sometimes you mess up so bad, that the entire system doesn't boot past Grub or doesn't even boot Grub itself if you messed around with its configuration files. So what can you do when you really messed up big time? What if you didn't make that Clonezilla backup of your system that you should have made in case…

@xircon

6. Now a new terminal window will open. In this terminal window you can execute commands as if you were inside your actual Manjaro installation.

it didn't open a new terminal at all... nothing is happening after I did "sudo mhwd-chroot /mnt" its just there... doing nothing

[xircon]

So which partition did you install to?

[Loupning]

I use the right partion for it, where its installed; /dev/sdb1

[xircon]

so you should be chrooted in then

ls -la /home

should show your user's home

[Loupning]

I swapped to the free driver and its broke the booting, so I reinstalled it with the free driver and that failed too, boot failed midway each time I tried to boot in.

[xircon]

can you get into a tty? Am working a late shift today, so am not around till late 2300 uk time.

if you can - check:

journalctl -b

for errors.

dmesg

same.

Which display manager are you using and which desktop? Can you check the checksum of the iso downloaded?

[Loupning]

I was able to fix it with a reinstall using proprietary driver again and I carefully redid the update with care to make sure everything worked out fine this time. Thanks for you help still.
