quiet current
#

Did you enable graphical ?

# 

sudo systemctl enable sddm.service```
night surge
#

I was trying to fix flatpak before this happened

quiet current
#

Oh so its not a fresh install

#

Check logs when starting sddm.

night surge
#

that's journalctl grepped with "sddm"

night surge
quiet current
#

If you try and launch it you get no verbose?

night surge
quiet current
#

Is there a log file in /var/log/sddm/ ?

night surge
#

I tried running it as a cmd and it says "failed to create xauth file"

quiet current
#

lsblk please

#

Also was it working fine yesterday ?

night surge
#

sorry for all the paste links I dont even have discord installed on my pc yet

night surge
quiet current
night surge
#

the format

#

?

quiet current
#

Everything about it really

#

Its weird that /var/log/ and stuff is mounted.

#

Cant see where home is mounted.

night surge
#

sda2

#

sdb is just my drive with stuff like code

quiet current
#

Hmm, okay... so if you cd ~/ && ls -la what does it output?

night surge
#

im in ~

#

but I'll send

#

good luck reading it 😭🧱

quiet current
#

Odd

#

Seems fine, yet X is complaining about .Xauthority

#

Is there an sddm log in /var/log/sddm/ ?

night surge
#

/var/log/sddm doesn't even exist fr

quiet current
#

Okay good to know.

#

Something seems wrong with Xorg (X11) trynna create .Xautority in your home directory. Thing is it looks in order.

night surge
#

lovely 🥀

quiet current
#

Your user is called locale right.

night surge
#

yeah

quiet current
#

Yes then you def own the home so its not perm issues, least at first glance.

#

Could try reinstalling xorg package 🤷

#

I dont know how things broke really and the journalctl log is just too big and cryptic for me on my phone.

#

Im not sure where sddm stores its own log.

night surge
#

wc on the file btw 😭
807, 8528, 111049, ./locale-sddm-output.txt

quiet current
#

If you cat it?

night surge
#

like the words in the file

#

"Print newline, word, and byte counts for each FILE"

quiet current
#

doing cat wont break anything.

#

Im not sure what it is. You could

cd / && sudo find . -name *sddm* and try and find a log specific to it or... try and make sense of the journalctl log you sent.

#

But Im sure xorg is the culprit with it not being able to create xauth

night surge
#

@opaque talon are you able to help me here?

opaque talon
#

whats even the problem

#

you gave literally no info in the top post

night surge
#

you said to install wayland fr

night surge
#

I fixed it ty uncles

[UPDATE]: Do not try to install flatpak on Endeavor unless you know how to correctly install it. Installing it via pacman will probably break sddm (needed packages conflict with sddm)
