I just turned on my Dell laptop Latitude D530 with after the update two days ago. I see a glimpse of Netrunner trying to load, but it gets to a blank screen which says:
Netrunner Rolling 3.14.18-1-Manjaro (Fred-Latitude) (tty1)
Then the next line is:
Fred-Latitude login:
When I enter the login, it asks for the password, and when I enter that it repeats it self, and nothing happens. I turn it off and restart, and I get the same thing. Rolling is disappointing me! What can I do?
First, check you MD5 on the install media,
This sounds like it didn’t get installed properly.
Could you please post either your hardware specs or the brand/make and model of your computer?
Same exact problem here. I checked the MD5 and they match.
The only way I can login is excuting startx on tty1 with is a little annoying.
Specs:
From tty1, log in as root and give the command reboot, at next start up should be fixed.
Thanks for the reply, but KDM still refuses to log in unfortunately.
I also created another user but the outcome is the same.
Is there a way to replace KDM with an alternative software?
Netrunner Frontier & Rolling both use SDDM by default, not KDM. If you changed this that would be why you can’t log in.
sudo systemctl enable sddm.service -f
My bad, It’s a fresh installation and I just assumed it was KDM.
It is/was a known bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1116450
I disabled SDDM and enabled KDM and It’s working fine now.
What bug are your referring to exactly?
The link you gave has to do with SELinux as far as I can tell and SELinux is not used in Netrunner Rolling.
