Black login screen

Hello Garuda users.

When I first boot my pc (start it) the login screen is not visible. After randomly typing 2-3 times the password without seeing anything, it logs in and then screen get back to normal but that login screen never shows up of first boot. Maybe something missing or broken please help.

the terminal/konsole input and output as text from the the garuda-inxi command:
