That’s also in it. But yes. Even if they can’t log in, they can likely TTY and still send log (may need to use nmtui first)

Do you also know how he/she could check what packages were updated last, I assume it must be listed in the pacman log file.

A sorry, probably adding `cat` before that should work.

The first thing that comes to my mind is that I see hybrid graphics Intel/Nvidia and you use nouveau driver for Nvidia.

But since you arrive at the login screen must have something to do with login/display manager. Would have to dig through the forum but I have seen very recently such an issue in a post.

Are you using xfce or which DE or Wm?

Thanks! I don’t really know what I"m looking for on this one to be honest- I was just trying to get the pedigree stuff for those who are more capable than I.

I know there was some issue on light greeter recently which it could possibly be.

The strange thing about it is I think it is actually running underneath the log in manager
