From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[Solved] "[OK] Reached target Graphical Interface" after login before getting booted back to the login screen (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey all, semi-novice Linux user here.

I'm running EndeavourOS with KDE on a Lenovo with an Intel CPU and integrated GPU.

I was attempting to update my system today but kept getting the error referenced in this newsletter that I found after looking for the error online. I ran each command in the newsletter exactly as written and then rebooted my system.

After rebooting, I'm able to successfully get to the login screen and input my username/password but, instead of my desktop, logging in takes me to a command interface for about a second before reverting to the same login screen. The line in the title is the last entry shown in that command interface.

I've looked online for solutions but it doesn't seem like anyone with my same error is getting stuck on the login screen (most people seem to be stuck on Grub and are able to use e, ctrl+alt-F2, etc) and I'm just sorta lost on what to do at this point.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you to MyNameIsRichard for your help. It turns out that I needed to install plasma-x11-session as I am still an x11 user and a recent update made it necessary to install this package manually.

What does pacman -Qs linux-firmware show?

I was hoping you had f-6 which was causing all sorts of problems for amd and intel users but you have f-9 which purports to fix them all. The next question is are you using Plasma with X11? If you are, the have a look at https://archlinux.org/news/plasma-640-will-need-manual-intervention-if-you-are-on-x11/

I am indeed using X11. I tried using Wayland ~a few months ago (on one or both of my setups, wish I could remember) and it did not work very nicely for me so I just stuck with X11, which so far has worked perfectly for what I do.

Yeah, you will need to install the X11 session as detailed in the news page I linked. To summarise sudo pacman -Syu plasma-x11-session

It's fixed!! Thank you so much!

Side note: also going to subscribe to the Arch newsletter to avoid mishaps like this in the future.

No Probs. I'm happy to help.
