Salute, people. I urgently need to install a teamviewer on Manjaro GNOME (Linux 5.8.18-1-MANJARO x86_64 20.2 Nibia). Unfortunately the teamviewer doesn't work with Wayland, so I need to switch to Xorg.

I tried to switch to GNOME on Xorg on the login screen, but after entering the password, it threw me again at the login screen and did not allow me to log in.

I also tried turning off WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf, but after the reboot I got a blinking cursor and I could only boot via cmd.

I'm not a Linux expert, so I'm asking someone to help figure it out, or give suggestive links. Thanks
