Title: [SOLVED] Terminals (kitty/alacritty) not showing anything on fresh install
Post by: hacky_the_sheep on 01 June 2024, 14:49:29
Hello,

I am trying to see if I can get assistance troubleshooting. I installed Artix-OpenRC-Cinnamon. Only ran ```sudo pacman -Sy" and installed kitty and alacritty. When opening kitty it gives me a libsystemd error and doesn't show anything. I don't get the same libsystemd error with Alacritty, but it also doesn't show anything when opening.

I've checked locale and everything. Even tried changing to fish shell with no help. The strange thing is, is that it the gnome terminal works without any issue whatsoever.

Thank you

Partial upgrades are not supported (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported), please run "sudo pacman -Syu" and see if it fixes your problem.

I can replicate the kitty libsystemd error, though it runs correctly. What do you mean by "doesn't show anything"? Can you type in the terminals? At first glance, this looks like a driver issue. Definitely try doing a full upgrade. If that doesn't work, maybe try booting with the linux-lts kernel?

I figured out the solution. Driver issue. I removed all the xf86-video-* packages as stated here:
