[SOLVED] log in screen is a static _ after enabling a theme

[wild shadow]

The theme in question is the Ventura-dark theme from Vince if I forgot to include something please let me know

[wild shadow]

(That neofetch was taken before I killed it and sorry for bad camera quality)

[devout basin]

@wild shadow x11 or wayland?

[wild shadow]

Wayland @devout basin

[devout basin]

@wild shadow try x11 instead

[wild shadow]

How can I do that? @devout basin

[devout basin]

@wild shadow reboot and pick x11 from sddm

[wild shadow]

Sddm never loads @devout basin

Just the _ is there and the cursor

[devout basin]

@wild shadow control alt f5

sudo systemctl disable sddm

sudo pacman -S ly

sudo systemctl enable ly

reboot

[wild shadow]

I’ll try

[devout basin]

cd /usr/share/sddm/themes

rm -rf the bad one

[wild shadow]

Aight

I just need to grab a diff keyboard coz my main one doesn’t have F keys 💀

[wild shadow]

@devout basin after I remove the bad theme can I do sudo systemctl disable ly sudo systemctl enable sddm ?

[devout basin]

if you want

[wild shadow]

Alright

@devout basin

[devout basin]

pacman -Syu

[wild shadow]

@devout basin

[devout basin]

ping -c3 archlinux.org

[wild shadow]

@devout basin Temporary failure in name resolution

Could it be the terminal is not connected?

[devout basin]

did you press the airplane button?

[wild shadow]

No last time I checked it was fine

Should I try to connect to Wi-Fi with iwctl?

[devout basin]

@wild shadow yes

[wild shadow]

Ok

Stuck on waiting for IWD to start…

@devout basin

Weirdly this exact thing happened on my vm

[devout basin]

@wild shadow sudo systemctl enable --now iwd

[wild shadow]

@devout basin

At this point should I just delete the theme and reenable sddm?

[devout basin]

yes

[wild shadow]

Aight

Should I reboot or can I try ctrl alt f1?

@devout basin

[devout basin]

reboot

[wild shadow]

K

Tysmmmmmm

[devout basin]

@wild shadow you're welcome

@wild shadow Global themes are commonly provided by end users and not monitored. You should use extreme caution when downloading and applying global themes. They can run arbitrary code and loss of user data has occurred.

[wild shadow]

Yeah I didn’t want to do global

I couldn’t unclick it

And ping -c3 archlinux.org works now

[devout basin]

@wild shadow pacman -Rns ly

[devout basin]

@wild shadow pacman -Syu, then reboot

[wild shadow]

this will take a while...

It’s done @devout basin

[devout basin]

... solved
