If it is the first case, do you see anything wrong in 'journalctl --pager-end' ? Typically Xorg is auto-configuring itself during the boot process and detects your monitor, res and so on. If your issue appears during the whole boot process you may have to create configuration file with your monitor settings in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/' If it is the second case, then do not use graphical login manager - yes you don't have to use graphical login manager to login and start your DE/WM.

I saw that you have posted couple questions in the mail list that can be 'copy and paste' answered by your favourite search engine. Also I learnt that you have been using some other gnu/linux distribution that has taken the learning curve provided by the command line in favour of GUI applications. If you asked yourself 'what is reponsible to start processes during a system startup' you would come down to the init system which in this case is systemd. And from here you can ask your favourite search engine the following 'how to start a service in systemd' and you'll get the answer. The emotional feeling that you have semi-solved similar issues is undescriable and awards you with knowledge.

Re: [arch-general] update error(?)
Hello Francis, In archlinux you have to rely on the wiki, man pages and info documents more often than you do in the mail list, as a lot the wiki pages there are written by people that have dedicated a lot of their free time to write the provided information correctly and well explained, also they make sure that most of the pages are up to date. A quick 5-10 minutes web research would nail almost all of your future quirks. And if you can't, feel free to submit a new message to the mail list as there are always nerds around that would help you out. Best regards, Aaron Caffrey

I did follow your advice and did create this config file.
I have installed udisks and udisks2.
I can follow these steps:
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi
to the step 4. where the following command:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX2
can't be completed successfully, because after I run it, I can't mount
the new second partition formatted to have ext4 type filesystem.
I tried these steps by using Gparted too, but at this step Gparted
can't read partitions from the during read on
/dev/mmcblk0
Gparted gives the error message:
I/O error during read on /dev/mmcblk0
What can I do to solve this problem?

If my memory serves me correctly, you said that your card is read in
Windows.
What I would suggest you is to format it in Windows, but from the
command prompt (start menu, type "cmd" or just browse accessories and
start "command prompt"):
In the terminal/command prompt type:
diskpart.exe
list disk
select disk X
detail disk
clean
create partition primary
active
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit

Simple googling will produce dozens of similar problems, most without solution. My guess: Your card reader (which one? lspci/lsusb/dmesg? laptop type and age?) or its firmware is simply too old to recognize the card. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Compatibility --byte Because I had exactly the same issue with different kernels, one kernel will read my micro sd card and others wont.

The laptop has Multi-in-1 card reader.
I just bought a micro SD card with an adapter so I can it plug in into
this card reader.
But the Arch linux system doesn't recognise it so I can't use it.
I tried with Gparted too without any success:
I get Gparted error:

whyle on the virtual console I get error messages:
mmcblk0: error -84 transferring data, sector 7, nr 1, cmd response

However, this same micro SD card has been recognised on MS Windows system.
