Which ISO ?
Official and Weekly both fit your description.

Have a look in /var/log/Xorg,0.log, do you spot any errors?

The Official iso works on KVM. From which I can see the display manager is lightdm. Xorg seems to be ok.
Show the contents of the logs in /var/log/lightdm and maybe try and start manually
Code: [Select]
su
rc-service lightdm stop
lightdm -d
Seems odd?

The lightdm.log on the VM I fired up has many more lines relating to the startup of X.
Just after
[+0.01s] DEBUG: User artix added
the next line is different on yours then the rest is missing.
So maybe it is an X problem?

Really not sure sorry.

I was wrong in what I thought before. X is the problem. If you look in the log it's finding the nouveau driver but not using it then trying with fbdev.

Do you still have the older ISO ?
If not there is one here https://iso.artixlinux.org/archived-iso/artix-xfce-openrc-20220713-x86_64.iso

Path of least resistance:
Install from the older iso then update the system. Gets you to the same place hopefully.

Latest log shows X trying to use the vesa driver.

startx would need xorg-xinit installed.
Try the older iso remains my advice if it worked before.
