There was a Mesa update yesterday is it possible that it is the culprit?

Current version mesa 20.1.0-4

Righto…the zen kernel has made no difference! I still get the ‘knackered’ grey logon screen every other boot!!!
And that wasn’t the output from my other ssd and that’s endeavouros too! it looks like inxi is just picking up whatever it wants :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

You have the Radeon Vega. Are you sure it’s not the Mesa update?

55

Right so in summary
It doesn’t work with lightdm display manager every other boot BUT is ok with the other display managers
inxi cannot be trusted to report the correct distro :laughing: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Arrghhh! That took longer than it should have - have to setfont blind (or nearly so) to even see what I’m doing for the arch-chroot. Downgraded to 5.6.15-arch1-1 and put it on ignore til we find out what’s happening…

If it’s worth anything, I’m using Xfce and lightdm and have no issues with the new kernel (5.7.2-arch1-1).
