Possible issues you may encounter

Stuck at "Reached target Graphical Interface"

Main causes:

  1. You loaded the incorrect driver, remember that at the "Welcome to Manjaro" using your arrow keys to scroll to driver, if you have an AMD or Intel GPU, select Open source drivers. If you have an Nvidia GPU select Proprietary drivers.

  2. Laptop... Uh, goodluck with that.

  3. Your GPU cannot load the correct drivers. With tested images like these that are known to have working Nvidia drivers, this is more likely to do with something with your GPU. Try loading with the open source drivers if you have an Nvidia GPU.

Exceptions to this:

Nvidia GPUs older than ~2010 must boot up with the open source Nvidia drivers. This ISO includes the drivers for the main line and the LTS branch.

GPUs supported by the main drivers can be found here under supported products: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/172376/en-us

GPUs supported by the LTS branch can be found here under supported products: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/168290/en-us

If your GPU is not supported by either of these two drivers, then you must use the open source drivers which work for every single Nvidia GPU released after 1998. However for GPUs released after ~2010 it is not a suitable way to stress test a GPU.

I booted in and am at the wallpaper but I don't see anything!

If you can see the wallpaper:

But not the icons or task bar, this more than likely means there is an overscanning issue (you can confirm this by seeing if you can see the full wallpaper, see the cute little bowtie at the top of Chika's head, that's where your desktop icons would be!), this is most common if you have multiple monitors with different resolutions. Go ahead and press your start menu or F12 keys, your start menu or command prompt from the top should open up, confirming this.

Best solution is to probably just shutdown, then boot up with only one monitor. That, or mess with your monitor's settings to make the full display show up.

"Secure boot" related error

Due to signing images being a royal pain in the ass and this being a modified ISO of Manjaro, I don't intend to do so, at least in the near future. For this reason you must turn off secure boot.
