[ Solved] New migration of my arch

Hi all, I'm new of artix. Normally I use arch with btrfs fs. Today I've used my snapshots in new btrfs partition and I migrated from arch to artix. But when I reboot and I try to entry in kde, I received error message of dbus. I migrated in openrc and I've actived dbus service. If I want can I use my arch partition for reinstall artix with chroot?

Can you be more specifc on the dbus error? KDE/Plasma is known to run just fine in Artix, I run it in a couple of boxes too. Try installing systemd-dummy and libsystemd-dummy, if you haven't already. If you still can't login, try re-installing dbus, elogind and eudev.

Not sure what you mean here, maybe rollback your BTRFS partition to Arch?

Welcome.
What error exactly are you getting?
Are you starting kde manually or through a dm?  Which dm do you use and is it starting manually or is a service enabled?
Are you trying to log in as user and have you tried root?  I am not too familiar with kde but I'm wondering whether a systemd group/service is creating trouble.
Before you resintall it it might be worth the trouble to try to fix it, otherwise you'll never know what went wrong.
I understand you switched this installation from arch to artix, you didn't install from scratch, right?
If you can go through related installed files and make sure your pkgs that can be replaced by artix have all been replaced.
Dbus, xorg, xf86, *dm, etc.

Hi, Thank you so much for both. I had use the page on artix site for migration. At the moment I don't have the laptop with me. I use sddm, I put it in xdm configuration. But if I boot with sddm active I can't use tty for try to enter with startx. In my system I have lxqt also. If I put lxqt on sddm and enter I don't have any message to error, but I see two panel, one upper on the screen, one on centre, and I can't use nothing. The error of dbus I don't remember and I won't be able to use the PC before Sunday night. I'm sure that I wrong some setting, I can to reinstall elogind dbus and udev

Maybe I've understand my error. I've do my migration in chroot and this command
Code: [Select]
 systemctl list-units --state=running | grep -v systemd | awk '{print $1}' | grep service > daemon.list
gave me error because in chroot. I believe that I've not setting all services in a correct way. Sunday I enter in my arch partition, and I save my correct systemd list units

I solved with dbus upgrade

I'm seeing this issue as well.  I have everything up to date and no unhandled pacnew files. I installed it using the runit install disk from June. I did not install lxqt, I went straight to cinnamon (which works fine) then plasma.

The error I'm getting is a pop up over sddm saying "could not sync environment to dbus" and an "okay" button. Upon clicking the button sddm freezes and I have to restart xdm.

Besides just selecting the DE in sddm, I've tried stopping xdm, putting "exec startkde" in my .xinitrc, and doing startx and get the same error.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
rocky

I tried your suggestions to no avail. I've attached a copy of my sddm.log

Solved it, all I had to do was
dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id

Discovered it in error messages I missed while doing startx.

Why aren't the install scripts for dbus doing that automatically?

Hm, perhaps in Arch is created by some systemd hook or component, which we have probably missed. Thanks for the report.
