Title: [SOLVED] Nothing with QT works (like SDDM, KDE, KWrite, etc...)
Post by: yesd999 on 22 October 2020, 22:34:21
I tried to reinstall QT with sudo pacman -S qt as an attempt to fix KWrite, now nothing QT works after a reboot, networking doesn't work too so I can't install a diffrent display manager and startx just opens 3 useless uxterm windows and doesn't take any input in and after rebooting a second time I got thrown into the emergency shell, fallback mode works OK with a TTY though.
Shortened: Tried to reinstall QT now networking, Xorg and QT don't work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

how did you reinstall QT?
"My dear computer, please reinstall my qt?" Or how? My oracle ball doesn't work, I'm sorry.

Try to read https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1923.msg12960 and then edit your post to make sense.
Thank you!!

P.S. what do you imagine under the term "doesn't work" - missing a shared library, or what?

sudo pacman -S qt
and yes, missing a library

Can you get to a working terminal (<ctrl><alt>F2)?

Can you plug an ethernet cable in? 
If not, is networkmanger installed? 
If so, you can play around with NM comandline tools nmcli and/or nmtui to try to get a working network connection.

Hopefully a network connection is established, then try to reinstall SDDM and see what happens.

It looks like you did partial update.
Partial updates are not supported.

Do normal update,
Code: [Select]
pacman -Syu
, and first after you can reinstall with pacman -Sy qt.

Networks will works, if you set it, just see wiki.archlinux.org or wiki.artixlinux.org how to set Internet without clicking on icon (in terminal).

This problem is caused by user, not by system and only user (you) can fix it on local computer.

If you have no knowledge about Linux, reinstall system from ISO = fastest way. Just not format your /home, in case if you have home on another partition = not on same partition as / (root).

Nevermind, sudo pacman -Syyu fixed everything, I am beyond stupid.
