@Energy40 Weird, when I click on your links it opens another tab with the same discussion but no image.

anika200
try to copy links and paste new tab pls

anika200

Energy40 Well now I feel like I might catch something, I probably will not be any help anyway. I wonder why the link does not work in the forum software??? or does it?

Energy40

Nobody can help me? 🙁

Anyway Solus uses display managers (lightdm), running startx from the command line won't work.

Energy40 what can i do? how can i fix it?<

We can fix this so do not panic, unless there is a hardware failure.

I think someone would need more information to fix anything.

What exactly is the problem??? Can you log in with your normal user name at the prompt you are given? Did you lose power, no shutdown or something. Please give us a clue.

I am getting this issue too, itseems to be related to org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.AccountsService.xml with lightdm and slick-greeter with no interface available. Sorry it is not complete error log as I can only get terminal and currently booted now via liveusb

Some relevant error logs from lightdm and greeter

Gdk-Message: 17:16:46.603: slick-greeter: Fatal IO error 4 (Interrupted system call) on X server :0.

and a link to lightdm log

x-0-greeter.log is here

Justin

marxistvegan looks like the slick-greeter image was corrupted. Try re-install slick-greeter: sudo eopkg install --reinstall slick-greeter

marxistvegan

Justin yeah I had done that to no success

Justin

marxistvegan Remove the package, check if that file is still around, forcefully remove it if necessary and then install.

marxistvegan

Justin sorry got caught up, if which file is still around?
