I have a fresh install of Arch Linux using Gnome 3 as my Desktop Environment. I also installed nvidia proprietary drivers for my GTX 970. The problem i'm facing is that after my log-in screen pops up and i enter my credentials, it takes about 40 seconds to reach my desktop and during this "down time" my monitor enters a power saving state. I get to my desktop and if i open up a terminal and run ps -e | grep -E "(gnome|gdm)", I get the following output
313 ? 00:00:00 gdm
434 ? 00:00:00 gdm-session-wor
437 tty1 00:00:00 gdm-x-session
454 tty1 00:00:00 gnome-session
470 tty1 00:00:00 gnome-settings-
490 tty1 00:00:01 gnome-shell
639 ? 00:00:00 gdm-session-wor
649 ? 00:00:00 gnome-keyring-d
663 tty2 00:00:00 gdm-x-session
670 tty2 00:00:00 gnome-session
696 tty2 00:00:00 gnome-settings-
742 tty2 00:00:12 gnome-shell
756 tty2 00:00:00 gnome-shell-cal
1165 tty2 00:00:00 gnome-terminal-
1168 tty2 00:00:00 gnome-pty-helpe
From this output I get that somehow, gnome-session starts up on 2 different ttys. If I switch to tty1, Same story as with logging in. My monitor goes to power saving, I wait aprox 40 seconds and then I get the login screen.
I have no idea where to start looking for the problem.
I installed gnome using pacman -S gnome, chose the mesa-libgl library and after i got to the desktop environment, i downloaded nvidia proprietary drivers, blacklisted nouveau and ran the .run nvidia file.
Has anyone encountered this situation? Do you have any idea what can I do? which log fiels should I open up or configs to change?
Thanks
