Happens on every reboot!

Hi @Dasher56 ,

it’s a new installation?
i think you have a problem with the nvidia driver. try to change the driver, if the problem is solved, you know that the driver was the problem.

3

What is that supposed to do?

Especially since the kernel won’t acknowledge the parameter.

I would start be removing kdeconnect

I am fairly certain the is a configuration error.

Thanks for the reply,
Removed kdeconnect, stlill happening.
Removed sddm and installed sddm-git. About to reboot!

Well I believe Timeshift was the culprit!
I have snapshots saved to another partition an another drive. So I disabled scheduled snapshots, and installed from AUR, timeshift-autosnap. Have rebooted 5 times without a glitch. So maybe. Time will tell!!
Spoke too soon!
Seems the longer I’m on the desktop, reboot is fast without no text. Where as if I
reboot within 5-10 mins I get “start job running for user”
So very strange!

In the end I gave up. Found a script in archlinux forums from a fair way back.


pacman -Q | awk '{ print $1 }' > installed.tmp
for i in $(pacman -Qm | awk '{ print $1 }'); do
    cat installed.tmp | sed "s/^$i\$//;" > installed.tmp.1
    mv installed.tmp.1 installed.tmp
done
pacman -S --noconfirm `cat installed.tmp`
rm installed.tmp```

Worked great !
Have rebooted 10 times 
Everything back to normal, just like a new install.
Thanks to all for your time.
