Manjaro Gnome fail to boot(?)

[Lillievelantine]

So ive had Manjaro gnome for a day or after switching back from windows 10. I rebooted via terminal and no matter what i do it doesnt boot, just sits on the hp logo after the grub menu. Any help would be fine

Go into BIOS and turn off secure boot and fast boot.

You also need to tell us what kind of machine you have. Make/model would be nice.

See if this solves the issue...

[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.

Secure boot was already disabled, and my laptop doesnt support fastboot. The commands didnt really work. It is an HP BS015DX laptoo

If you can't get into the Manjaro how did you do the commands?

If you can't get into Manjaro then you'll have to chroot in.

Maybe this might be of help then?

Manjaro doesn't boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message

While there are many potential reasons why your Manjaro installation doesn't boot to a desktop, the primary reason is that the graphics drivers haven't loaded correctly so your login/display manager (DM) doesn't start. This is why you get a "black screen" or stuck at an [ OK ] Started some service message. The normal reason for this is that you have the incorrect driver version for the kernel. This happens when the mirror you are updating from is not fully synchronised and so has differen…

I have reached an error preventing "startx" from starting, and im able to put in commands via alt f2 for the text console

[Aragorn]

What was the error?

[Lillievelantine]

(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connectiom refused
xinit: server error

Sounds like a video driver problem, then. Don't tell me, Nvidia, right?

[Lillievelantine]

Im on Intel intergrated graphics, no Nividia or AMD

[Aragorn]

That's even weirder, because the Intel driver should work out of the box.

Hmmmmm...

[Lillievelantine]

It just happened after a reboot, no idea what went wrong

[Aragorn]

• Have you updated (or attempted to update) the system before that fatal reboot?
• What kernel are you using?

[Lillievelantine]

It was entirely up to date before hand, and currently on the latest (5.2.11-1 Manjaro)

[Aragorn]

I'm afraid I'm at the end of my rope here. This is above my pay grade, and I urgently need to go to bed because I'm about to fall off my chair.

I'll see if I can get someone else to take over ─ I don't even do GNOME, but some of the other regulars do, and they might know more about the GNOME editions than I do.

What CPU (and GPU) model do you have?

[Lillievelantine]

Its an intel i5 7200u with Intel HD 620

[eugen-b]

There have been some reports about this generation don't work with new grub, but I wasn't able to wrap my head around it yet.

[Lillievelantine]

I have used Manjaro on the same device earlier this year, so im not sure why its not working
