[Solved] "[OK] Reached target Graphical Interface" after login before getting booted back to the login screen in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] lordgoose@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Looks like those XYZs ended up being irrelevant to my situation (figured as much seeing as looking online didn't give me much information).

I needed to reinstall plasma-x11-session per a recent update since I still use x11.

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.

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.

(Sorry for image quality) this is what I've got:

Successfully made it to a different tty with ctrl-alt-F5 and was able to run journalctl -b

I'm not entirely sure what error I'm looking for here in particular so I'm taking a guess that "Activation request for 'org.freedesktop.XYZ' failed: The systemd unit 'dbus-org.freedesktop.XYZ.service' could not be found." is the one I'm looking for (XYZ because there are a few of these such errors with just the XYZ changing between them).

Is this the same error you got?

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.

I know you probably mean one of those serving-sized cereal boxes, but the mental image of you pulling out a family-sized box of cereal from some portal-to-Narnia pocket in your pants is fucking hilarious to me.

I personally use Matrix. I haven't gotten very far into using it but it does have groups, text, calls, and encrypted messaging so I'd say check it out.

Yeah, I got mine for 98 cents a can. Highest price I've seen is like two bucks.

Element. It's a popular client for Matrix, which is a federated messaging platform (similar to lemmy and mastodon) with different instances.

Honestly, I'd like to see this version. This might explain better why the machines using humans for their own benefit is such a bad thing since, presumably, using humans as CPUs would take up brain power that we could use to build a better society or something.

As someone who switched to Linux primarily because of Windows 11's never ending BS (bugs, resource mismanagement, etc) and the inevitably end of Windows 10, I can confirm that Windows 10 will be my last.
