Artix Linux Forum

I'm not sure I understand. What is the exact error?
Probably not a good idea. I wasn't able to see your Xorg.0.log even with the password "artixlinux", so what video card do you have?

1. I kind of forget what error it is, but iirc it's "..../lib/ is empty. Ignoring..."

"/lib/ is empty. Ignoring..." means the directory (folder) lib is empty, aka it has no files, which is different than having files with zero length in it.  Running find /usr/ -empty -type fd -delete takes into account both, as well as not distinguishing between possible problematic files and files and directories which are necessary but empty, creating a potential much bigger problem. Can you provide /var/log/pacman.log?

There are two places in the log which might be indicative, namely:

This means the fontconfig installation hook is failing for some reason.

Also,  not sure if related, but yay-git is a development version of yay, I would use yay instead:

Your fc-conflist output looks normal. The mentioned fontconfig hook is located in /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/fontconfig.hook, and contains:

Code: [Select]

[Trigger]
Type = Path
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Operation = Remove
Target = etc/fonts/conf.d/*
Target = usr/share/fonts/*
Target = usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/*
Target = usr/share/fontconfig/conf.default/*

[Action]
Description = Updating fontconfig cache...
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/fc-cache -s

so check if the command fc-cache -s is reporting any errors. On my system, it doesn't output anything (good).

try  reinstall your fontconfig with "sudo pacman - Syy fontconfig" and /or pacman - Syyu.  be sure, that your mirror is not up-to-date  (actually version is fontconfig 2:2.13.93-4).

Sorry, I think you just might need to reinstall everything. That find ... -delete command likely did more harm than good, in addition to something else before that.

Yea, I think that's the only solution. I've finished backing up everything except for a Windows vm with 30GB .vdi. Too bad I put my actual license on it. Can .vdi file be split into several 6GB files and be merged later?
