System is not booting into DE

Hi,
I’ve wanted to install EnOS with the Mate DE, installation works fine but when I want to boot into the system I guess it loads some services but then gets stuck and doesn’t load the Login panel.
I’ve installed the it with systemd boot.

It seems like ppl. have solved it by adding this in the grub cfg, how is this applicable to systemd?

Also what I’ve figured that when using the offline install everything seems to work.

You can add kernel options by appending them to /etc/kernel/cmdline and then run sudo reinstall-kernels

Thanks, did that. On the LTS Kernel(6.1.31) it won’t load the DE. On the 6.3.5 Kernel it does load but it takes ages and I also got a error message that something in /dev failed. How can I provide some system logs for further information?
edit: Is this a known issues? For some background. I was running the cinnamon DE for quite some time without issues and after a system update yesterday, things started happening. E.g. the system didn’t boot, when it booted some services did not load, sometimes it loaded the NetworkManager sometimes it don’t. In the systemctl --failed I had 7 failed ones, one was called realtime scheduler and two which had a user in it.

Update:
Did a offline install and booting into the DE worked fine. Then proceeded to update the packages with sudo pacman -Syu and then rebooted. After rebooting I’m having the same issue as with the online install. Some package is causing this issue but i don’t know how to debug this.

do you use systemd-boot or grub, maybe you have a similar problem as here

https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/systemd-bootup-stops-after-kernel-selection-no-output-on-screen

We don’t ship that configuration by default. The only way to get the systemd-boot/mkinitcpio combo is to manually convert a pre-Cassini system to systemd-boot or to manually convert a Cassini system to mkinitcpio.

Unless the OP did one of those manually that issue shouldn’t impact them.

it’s either way. I ran cinnamon with grub and then I tried to run the system with systemd, but it didn’t help.

I think the only way is to install each package one by one and check what package is causing this issue?

Issues seems to be with the kernel 6.3.5 and seems to be an issue with this Laptop and the components. I can boot the system with kernel 6.3.4. Fixed it by mounting the drive and the efi drive and downgrading the kernel in the live USB environment.

For now you might consider installing the lts kernel and headers and using that if you have an issue with the latest kernel. I always keep the lts kernel installed just in case as it isn’t uncommon for issues with the latest kernel to popup.

strange thing is I couldn’t boot the system with the LTS kernel either.
