Title: Fresh install breaks on update (SOLVED)
Post by: mullins on 07 November 2020, 03:45:09
Fresh install of KDE from the ISO works fine until I update. Then I get a cursor and mouse pointer at or around SDDM stage and system hangs (just before Artix progress bar should come up). I can switch to TTY1 and login but no internet and startx fails.

Have tried holding back the kernel in pacman.conf but this hasn't helped.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Hayden

Okay, upgrading kernel but blocking SDDM results in a working desktop for me.

Bonjour,
I had the same problem three days ago on Artix XFCE OpenRC and SDDM.
After a simple update the next day, the problem was fixed.
It looks to me like it came from libxml2:
[2020-11-04T14: 49: 44 + 0100] [ALPM] upgraded libxml2 (2.9.10-2 -> 2.9.10-3)

Libxml2? That's is nosense. https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/aff7864570da085376d0ff8df5e7aa0c775a3295#diff-3e341d2d9c67be01819b25b25d5e53ea3cdf3a38d28846cda85a195eb9b7203a

They fixed just some CVE vulnerability.

Ssdm was twice update,problem with autologin. Put here your /var/log/sddm.log

Thanks. So can anyone confirm if I am safe to update SDDM now?

Oops, sorry: - /
As I did my updates twice, I hadn't seen the other packages.
Indeed I had two sddm updates close together:
[2020-11-03T21:22:36+0100] [ALPM] upgraded sddm (0.18.1-3 -> 0.19.0-1)
[2020-11-04T14:49:49+0100] [ALPM] upgraded sddm (0.19.0-1 -> 0.19.0-2)

Yes. For be 100% sure that you become the fix, uninstall sddm (pacman -Rdd sddm) and install it again. With newest pam works not version 0.19.0-1. All another version should works. Problem is with /etc/pam/sddm-autologin

Thanks, that works. I appreciate your help.  :D
