The broken sddm theme from 2 days ago was my fault; other than that, I'd advise against re-installing the whole system. If nothing else, we'll never know what caused the problem in the first place.   ;)

I can keep it going to diagnostic purposes - I'm just not technically skilled enough yet to figure it out quickly and my time is pinched to do the normal "learn, apply, repeat" method.

And while they all might be related, it looks like I have a udev, kvm, and sddm issue that no one else has reported or chimed in on - so very possible I (or some random package) had some unintended effect on my system and I feel like i would be wasting everyone's time.

What I'm getting at is, I'll keep it if it might help the distro and keep working on this puzzle with those that are interested.
But I may still install a second copy and also practice better backup/restore habits.

And no problem there. Just to be clear.
Hiccups happen.

Regarding the udev issue.
There is a snippet of messages that pop up at boot that never happened before. I've barely been able to capture a screen shot with my phone. If i can find the log, I'd post it here.

The message is many lines long. Happens right before "* Setting up tmpfiles.d entries ..."

And the last line of the message is
udevd[911]: worker [950] failed while handling '/devices/pci0000"00/000    ...

there is more after the ... , i just didn't capture it.

Any clues where this log might be.

Regarding the original issue of being thrown to tty1  instead of sddm.

A reboot, and things worked Another reboot, and I'm back to the above.
would kvm or udev cause a hang or race condition for sddm which would explain the temperamental nature of this problem?



edit: clarity

If you suspect there is a race condition, try disabling parallel start in openrc. Well, I'm assuming you are using otherwise it shouldn't be possible for openrc to have a race in its handling of services.

Not sure if it would be in openrc /var/log/rc.log.  You may need to turn on openrc logging, in /etc/rc.conf:

Code: [Select]
rc_logger="YES"


You may also want to set verbose logging on :

Code: [Select]
rc_verbose=YES


And openrc has an interaactive option:

Code: [Select]
rc_interactive="YES"


The only place "udevd" appears in any of my logs is dmesg; showing that its starting up along with entries on urandom.

parallel is set to no (actually commented out, so default).
So I guess that isn't it. Bothersome that it may or may not work seemingly randomly (so far)

I captured the dmesg from the last boot after enabling verbose and interactive (didn't use that, just enabled for later)
The new entries I noticed during boot start at this line:

Hey dude, don't be surprised, that your system not works, your kernel crash.
I see, you have ryzen procesor?  What for procesor you have?
Which kernel parameters you use in boot? Put here compete dmesg.
Your problem have nothing to do with openrc, but with your hw (gpu) and kernel.
What for libdrm, mesa, kernel use you?

Don't worry, not surprised given how weird this machine is acting. :)

Short answer is a Ryzen 5 2400G APU.
Added the results of hwinfo --short to the opening post if it helps.

Added the dmesg and sysctl -a as attachments to this post.
Weird observation: I have a backup of this Artix on a flash drive during this issue and it never shows the kernel crash I noticed (even though it doesn't always boot into the graphical sddm either). Ubuntu has never shown this error and has never had trouble reaching login.

the amd-ucode does exist.

I can try the update to the motherboard.
I'm running the latest stable update which was working fine for over a year.
Is it likely that updates to software/kernel/etc would trigger a need for a bios update?

Will report back on the bios update in a bit.

Progress!
Attached is the dmesg after the update (OS was already up to date)

Changes:
  • Didn't see the error at boot.
  • Don't see the error in dmesg
  • shutdown doesn't pause at udev then stop a worker
  • kvm exit doesn't hang on shutdown
  • Suspend appears to work again (didn't report that before)/color]

Only two oddities are
  • [    0.347623] pci 0000:00:00.2: AMD-Vi: Unable to read/write to IOMMU perf counter.
  • [    5.126973] sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: Watchdog hardware is disabled

Maybe these aren't big deals, just alerts. I have no idea what Watchdog is and will look up later.
Got the gist of what watchdog does and isn't needed on a desktop typically.
Still not sure about the conflicting IOMMU thing (Unable to read/write) then proceeds to add iommu groups two lines later.




I'm going to give it a day or two reboots JUST to make sure because I'm skittish now :)


I'm hopeful though, and I apologize it was a BIOS update that was the culprit (Feels a little like I just found out the computer wasn't plugged in or something simple like that).



Thank you to everyone, but especially alium for your help.

not necessary - should not directly require.  MSI just fixed with combo 1.0.0.4 (this prepare AMD self, what is reason, why is this update important) a lots bugs in BIOS and added  some optimalisation  8)

your dmesg report just looked like something wasn't working perfectly in the HW (and linux has the ability to write what exactly, unlike Windows "an error has occurred")

i have same warnings, but i think is nothing important...
I don't use Watchdog too, but it can be turned on somewhere
