[SOLVED] XFCE graphical sessions no longer open after this morning's update

Since running sudo pacman -Syu on two Artix OpenRC XLibre XFCE PCs, the XFCE graphical session no longer opens, and I remain stuck on the SDDM login window.
One of these PCs uses an AMD GPU and the other an Intel one.

I tried downgrading GTK4, but the graphical session won't start.

pacman-Syu.txt with the list of updated packages on both machines:

Two other .txt files (from the same PC) :

Pls start xfce from the console and provide the output and xorg.log file.
Thx.

I just had trouble with this as well. Downgrade libdisplay-info and it will start. This breaks mpv which you're fairly likely to use as well, but downgrade that as well.

Indeed, when I downgrade libdisplay-info to version 0.2.0-2 XFCE4 launches.


Code: [Select]
startxfce4 
/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
xfce4-session: error while loading shared libraries: libdisplay-info.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Indeed, libdisplay-info 2.0.2-2 allows XFCE to launch!

I'll see if I can downgrade it as well...

 Encountered this issue this night when studying, after rebooting my computer. I did not downgrade libdisplay.

I symlinked the old name of the file with the new one.

No idea if that's a bad thing to do, I guess it is, but it just works.

Same with Xfce-Runit.

After restore I solve it with:
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=libdisplay-info,mpv

The problematic patches were brought in sync about an hour ago, so updating should not cause problems anymore.
