Black Screen error right after boot.

[wooden crater]

Hello Everyone. My arch stopped running. When I boot my computer, the grub menu shows up, I hit enter and okay, some texts flows around the screen and after that it's black screen. Nothing. I tried to change tty by clicking Alt+Ctrl+F(something). And I'm in cli login. I logged in and it said Start Hyprland with command Hyprland(and yeah I use hyprland) but then,

Error:i/o timeout

Sorry I can't take screenshots because of knowing reasons.

I tried to reboot a few times, but still the same.

Are you using SDDM? It might be an issue with your xorg display server not starting correctly.

Also, hyprland is not a systemd service, so just type hyprland to start it instead of using systemctl.

Sorry for bein' late

[wooden crater]

Is SDDM login manager?

I use Hyprlock and I think it may be based on sddm, sorry if I'm wrong

[shy marsh]

yes

[wooden crater]

Ohh man it worked

Thanks

[shy marsh]

hyprlock is just a screen locker

[wooden crater]

But will I have to do it everytime?

x11 problem?

[wooden crater]

I'm sorry 😭

I'm so newbie at Arch

What is x11?

[shy marsh]

a display server, often reffered to as xorg

basically a program that provides an interface for other programs to display things on screen

SDDM relies on xorg so if xorg breaks you get a black screen.

So you managed to start hyprland but SDDM or xorg is still broken.

sudo Xorg -configure should reset your confihuration and possibly fox your black screen issue

At least it wont make anything worse as your configuration is mosg likely already broken : P

@wooden crater run sudo systemctl start sddm just to make sure its xorg that is broken
