ok then it's back to artix-chroot and reinstall your conman or network manager and your desktop?

which desktop are you using?


you're doing great... we are nearly there.

I'm using XFCE. KDE plasma used to work for me back then but something weird happened. It would give me the same error I'm having now but XFCE would bypass it somehow and let me do what I'd like to do.

I'd assume conman? I tried the commands on chroot just now, same issue.

There is no output, after doing those commands it installed the XFCE packages but when I booted back into my system I still don't have a desktop enviroment.

ok so from you installed system login to your user at the command prompt and start xfce4 with
Code: [Select]
startxfce4

probably you need to start sddm with the appropriate s6 command.  however that works.  on dinit i use dinitctl enable [service] default
do you know how it's done on s6?


is it like this?
Code: [Select]
# s6-rc-bundle -c /etc/s6/rc/compiled add default sddm elogind
not familiar with how s6 works

at any rate startxfce4 should get you a desktop

 should be able to school you on s6 or maybe @Dudemanguy @Lancia

going out to feed cats. bbl

The only way I can access XFCE is through root otherwise I get this message.

At this point you how to correctly add the arch repository so you should be able to reinstall, add your repository and if needed add r8168-dkms.  A fresh 8nstall could do wonders

I'd prefer to find a sollution if available I don't want to go through a bunch of configurations like I've done before again.

That one looks like you don't have elogind running for some reason (permissions). Presumably you're on s6, so s6-rc -u change elogind; then log out and log back in. There may or may not be an existing elogind process you have to kill.

Sam Hyde?  Where did you get to?  Dudemanguy was helping you with s6 commands.
