Well now you know that elogind isn't running properly on your machine. No wonder you can't start xorg. ;)

A simple "s6-rc -u change elogind" should bring the service up. After logging out and back in, "loginctl" should show a session with your username. If it still does not, then something else is wrong. elogind-s6 depends on dbus-s6, so check to see if you have dbus running as well ("ps aux | grep dbus-daemon"). If you don't see anything there, you can try "s6-rc -u change dbus" to start it manually.


This definitely doesn't sound right. Try reinstalling s6-linux-init (it remakes the poweroff/reboot/etc. binaries) if you haven't already.

I tried both the commands as shown in image attached and things do not seem right

s6-linux-init is already installed

Something is very broken and wrong in your install. It looks like s6-rc isn't even running to me. Do you have a /run/s6-rc/state file?

Just install it again.

 Do you have a /run/s6-rc/state file?

No , run directory is blank

Just install it again.

ok

Wait, are you still in chroot or something? If you want to actually use s6-rc, you need to get out of the live usb and actually reboot the machine.

I checked this directory from my arch linux to see if i have any contents in it or not .

All the previous commands I checked and pasted back where booting to artix with s6

to check this directory on artix would mean I have to remove battery once again to be able to reboot/restart pc so i checked  it from my arch linux

Ah, well I don't know what's up with your power up/power down issues. Forcibly shuttting down by holding the power button is totally hardware and has nothing to do with OS, init, etc.
