#

can you ctrl+alt+f4 into a TTY?

#

check sudo systemctl status sddm

viscid blade
#

did you try lightDM?

#

are you sure sddm is the issue though? because you did say someone said sddm could be the issue

#

atleast for them were not sure if it will for you

#

i have gotten that screen and thats only when nvidia does the nvidia

#

so id probably test lightDM if it works then its sddm

#

oh your on debian?

#

thats ok

#

but im pretty sure you can just do

systemctl disable sddm.service

then install lightdm

#

disabling the service doesnt allow it to start on boot im pretty sure

#

i havent used arch in a while so mb if i give something unclear

#

i mean i would do disable and install then reboot

#

probably a driver issue?

#

id probably guess xorg

#

but its getting late for me and i got to sleep so you will have to wait for another person to help you good luck

You should use Rns to uninstall, so configuration files and dependencies are removed

#

Anyway, yeah if both SDDM and LightDM don't work it's probably a graphics driver issue

#

What GPU brand do you have?

#

Can you run lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' and show the output?

#

I want to see what kernel driver is in use

#

hm, it didn't say the driver

#

What driver did you choose in archinstall?

I believe proprietary and open-source
