X won't start after update :'(
The more information you post about your problem the more likely it is someone will help. That's not much info!
What GPU do you have and which driver ?
How do you start X ?
Take a look at this post
https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,5091.msg32597.html#msg32597
With its help post /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Amd GPU (6600) with open source driver is in use.
I presume that I'm not the only one having such an issue after today's update when using (at least) plasma + dinit
I found in /var/log/Xorg.0.log this:
(EE) dbus-core: error connecting to system bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound (Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory)
artix-plasma-dinit...iso has been used to install initially. No issues in the past.
I did ask for /var/log/Xorg.0.log not just one line.
Anyway I just did an update and something's gone wrong with kwin. I Just get a black screen after a long Plasma splash screen.
I can start plasmashell with krunner. Kwin is not working. So I've my own issues at present :)
I switched to LXQT + openbox for now.
Your error suggests a dbus error. But post the whole log.
Like I said before. Welcome to the club. I think we both having same issue.
That's not what you said. You said X wasn't starting. It is. kwin_x11 has a library issue
kwin_x11: error while loading shared libraries: libkdecorations2private.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'll be back with a fix shortly.
There maybe a version of the new kwin in gremlins but I couldn't see it. I'll look again in a minute.
Fix:
git clone https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packagesK/kwin.git
cd kwin/trunk/
Open PKGBUILD in an editor and comment or delete
makepkg -si
Thank you for spotting the issue!
I'll wait for kwin (and friends) to come from general repos
Should be OK now; pls try again
