LIVE USB : Artix linux only boot in tty1 (No GUI)

starboy92 · 05-09-2023, 07:11 AM

Hello! excuse me. I am new member of LQ.. So, i've tried to install Artix Linux via live usb, but when i boot into Artix Linux, I couldn't even enter GUI mode, it only boot in tty1.

I've tried several linux distros on live usb & no similar problem.. Even i tried Artix Linux on VirtualBox, and it worked in GUI mode.

Thank you very much.

Artix uses the OpenRC init system. Do you know if it supports your hardware? What is your hardware? inxi --Faz input/output pasted here using code tags would answer this second question.

My hardware..
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
CPU : Intel i3-2310M (4) @ 2.100GHz

I've installed Artix before, but with release year of 2021.. Now i'm using EOS, but i want to go back to Artix

That's incomplete information that inxi -GSaz or inxi --Faz would have clarified. It suggests Optimus, which requires non-default software and configuration options in most cases.

when i boot into Artix Linux

Did this mean booting the installation media, or the installed Artix?

Your CPU includes a GPU. Artix could simply be mangling your Optimus dual GPU configuration and needs a little configuration TLC. I don't see how info taken from running EndeavourOS can help very much. I suppose Artix could be employing a broken nouveau DDX display driver instead of the modesetting DIX display driver working in EndeavourOS.

What does/did systemctl get-default report booting Artix? If not graphical.target, I suggest to switch to it with systemctl get-default graphical.target.

I recognize nothing in your EndeavourOS paste to directly suggest anything should be a problem for Artix. It simply could have had/has the wrong target set.

Did you save or can you get /var/log/Xorg.0.log and a sudo journalctl -b saved to disk file from Artix? They could tell something useful. Please pastebin them. They're too big for pasting here.

I've never used Artix or Arch, so can't provide any help from a distro-specific user perspective here.

When i booting the installation media. There's no login screen or any GUI, only TTY1.

Is it because my graphical driver is broken or my driver did not support to Artix? And where should i enter the command? In the EOS or Artix (live usb)?

I believe the failure to be a failure of the programming that is responsible for the existence of the .iso provided by Artix developers that may need to be brought to their attention. It's possible Artix has no GUI installer capable with your hardware. I'm afraid you'll need to consult Artix installation documentation to see what might enable using Optimus hardware for Artix installation, and/or how & where to report an Artix issue, or use a forum specifically dedicated to Artix to ask for help.

Thank you very much for your answer
