Manjaro: Can’t log in. Screen freezes after I enter my password
I installed a clean version of Manjaro. When I boot up, I make it all the way to the log in screen. When I enter my password, the login prompt disappears and I get the Manjaro background with a cursor. I can move the cursor but nothing else. Nothing comes up and it stays on this screen forever.
Before logging in I’ve tried the Ctrl+F2 then Ctrl+F7 thing, but when I do Ctrl+F7 the screen freezes and I can’t move the mouse or anything. Please help, I’ve been having this problem for a while and I’ve never logged into the system yet.
I have an Nvidia Graphics Card and Core i7 processor. It is running Xfce
xfce manjaro

How long did you wait after entering your password? Is your system able to access your network, and did you configure a DNS nameserver?

@blacKnight I faced a similar issue, it is an annoyance but easily fixable assiming it is the same problem: 1. try to connect another monitor on the HDMI port maybe your main screen is outputted there. Also read: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/320642/…

I've had the same issue on Manjaro after upgrading everything post fresh install. My initial fix was to delete the displays.xml file found in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ folder. Problem is, anytime you go to your display manager or update Manjaro, it'll recreate the file and thus the problem will persist.
So it turns out, from what my research has gathered, that the xfce4 displays.xml config file was likely conflicting with something in xorg.conf: the refresh rate.
Now I'm not sure if this was from the display vender info for my monitor (Samsung 22" LED) or bundled with xorg/X11 or with the nvidia display drivers...or somewhere else.
All I know is this worked for me (FIX HERE--->): In Manjaro, in the panel menu, search for "Display", open it (the Display manager), change the Refresh Rate pulldown menu option from 60Hz to 59.9Hz and click "Apply". This solved the problem for me. I rebooted and confirmed my problem was solved.
So I think this issue may exist with certain hardware/monitor combinations whenever Manjaro/XFCE/Kernel/GPU Drivers are updated via Manjaro's repository. Tested same exact hardware with Linux Mint 19 Tara XFCE and could not replicate this issue. I'm still fairly new to Manjaro and not exactly sure what the conflict is or where it originates, but it only happens after I am fully finished upgrading kernel/display driver (Nvidia Nonfree) does this happen on a reboot/logout. I am fairly certain it has to do with the refresh rate settings themselves not jiving.
