[Closed]Sddm greeter stop for unknow reason

This is the 2nd times greeter stop. one in 10.24 and other in 10.26.

problem

sddm-greeter suddenly stop. There is no input panel to input pwd to login. Mouse can move by touchpad. Background image still there. Bluetooth not working. Before stop, I run firefox, qbitorrent, ffmpeg, everyting fine. then I go out for lunch. It got wrong when I am back.

get into tty2. Bluetooth works. my program still running(firefox, qbitorrent), I got some experience about DE stuck. so I find sddm-greeter stop. I try to restart it but fail. so I restart sddm and work out. But that cause a problem, firefox, ffmpeg and qbitorrent are closed. Luckily I do not need to save data from firefox or qb. the output of ffmpeg still in /tmp/tmp.mp4. maybe ffmpeg finished work before restart sddm.

I learn REISUB from this forum. so I stop try reboot ot force reboor.

detail

1st freeze 10.18

1st DE problem here. not known reason. sovled by sudo systemctl restart display-manager. 2nd and 3rd DE problem, a little diffenent from 1st. touchpad works. Knowing sddm-greeter stop.

2nd stop 10.24

2nd I sovled it by sudo systemctl restart display-manager temporary. And I check log and find many rslsync. so I think it is the reason. so after that I stop it and disable it.

log file got 17 000 lines. L1682~L16660(10.23 23:02:26 - 10.24 00:00:48) is about rslsync

10月 24 23:52:32 82dm bluetoothd[511]: src/profile.c:record_cb() Unable to get Hands-Free Voice gateway SDP record: Host is down

3rd stop 10.26

3rd I sovled it by sudo systemctl restart sddm temporary. Because I make sure this time this way will close my program like firefox. (sddm== display-manager)

log’s size is 17M and quite long. The point is the log file is useless because it did not record any about this DE problem. the time show that it stop at 10.24 00:00:52, which is the day before yesterday. The break time should between 10.26 12:30~13:30. so not know what happen.

status of display-manager and bluetooth is the same as 2

whan I want

make greeter work fine . no more stop.

SDDM#Troubleshooting arch wiki:like 3.1. it’s solution is restart sddm

Sddm-greeter - dumped core

Python 3.10 update needs possible rebuild packages like Optimus-manager and others
pacman -Qm
as sddm is known to cause issues sometimes, I’d also recommend trying another DM, e.g. lightdm

there are a lot of fail in the log this is only one …

And as you mention that you are using miniconda:

aur/miniconda3 4.12.0-1 (+40 2.83) 
    Mini version of Anaconda Python distribution

it is not recommended to use alternative package managers on arch … if you need these you are better use them in a container virtualisation …

I do not know disk manager. what should I do

I use miniconda3 to manager different py env. You mean I should use else to instead of miniconda3?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python/Virtual_environment

something like this…

I do personally stick to packages i got over pacman or AUR if i really needed…

about manage py env manager. I do make a survey and try some. Last I choose miniconda3

hard to reproduce. close this topic
