Yeah those are the latest versions. If you want, you could try downgrading to 1.10.13 since you don't have 1.11.0 in your package cache. Also there's a handy AUR package, downgrade, that you could use to fetch old versions from remote repositories.

I wish I could see what it exactly upgraded.  How do you roll it back or install an older version with pacman?  It is hard to tell where the problem is at this point.  It seems to be a system wide bug having to do with the shift to wayland, which is making this even harder to debug.  I know that the libinput_dvr.so is the library that is triggering the problem, but that is part of the xorg-server package itself.

It can be compiled with linux from scratch like this:

In situations like this I get a tty login or chroot from an Artix iso, or another Linux OS on the same PC.
Look in /var/log/pacman.log to see what was upgraded.
Then downgrade,  with root permissions:
Code: [Select]
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
pacman -U package1-123-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz package2-123-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Probably there are easier / better ways (anyone have suggestions?) but this uses standard built in commands that will always be available. Use tab completion to make it easier typing the packages in the -U list. You might want to login on more than one tty to get extra pages on view at the same time, also use globs and grep to see what is in the cache if it is more than a tty screenful, like ls package1* .

As far as I know, this is generally the best way to go about it. One of the unfortunate side effects of rolling release is that it can be hard to figure out which package exactly broke for you. You'll probably just have to go one-by-one downgrading until you find something that works (or possibly switch to wayland if you can). The only other thing worth mentioning is that there is a handy AUR package, downgrade, which is a set of bash scripts that make the process easier and can fetch old versions from remote repositories as well as your package cache.

I have no idea how x is working at this point.  Even when started on the command line it runs in an unfamilar way

window maker is running with a default setup as if it is not running from my home directory.

Actually, that only works because I ran

su  ruben

It fails to work altogether from the command line

This update took forever to startup and is just sluggish.  I don't know how you guys deal with this freedeskup crap.  I have no idea what it is doing.  It is just sluggish as hell and udev goes crazy at times.
