Hello everyone
I've been updating the system for two hours now and I can't start the system (((
I see a message after starting startxfce4 that I don't hve libdisplay-info, I've checked everything installed.
I tried reinstalling xfce4 and xorg but it didn't help...
I'll try to show the logs Xorg..

Thank you for your answer.
The problems did not go away, they remained. You need to check all the mirrors, now I installed lightdm-openrc from one artix repository and again I can't go in, I don't see the display manager only the black screen and Ctrl + Alt + F1( F2,F3) doesn't work.
After yesterday's crash, it took me all day to reinstall all the programs and set them up.
Please if you have problems with the programs, write it at the top so that we users know about it.
Backup/Restore is so simple:
sudo rsync -vaxH --del (Source) (Target)
Backup out of the running system (don't use it until finished) and Restore from a Livesystem.
Thanks for the advice.
I had to download LiveUSB and delete the program binary files so I could log in. That's better than backing up and reinstalling.
I'll try installing lightdm-openrc ,lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings again in a few days and let you know if there are any errors...
On one of my PCs, I can't switch to a terminal (CTRL+Alt+F1), probably because of my wireless keyboard...*
So I was stuck at the SDDM prompt.
Since I didn't have a wired keyboard handy, I started Manjaro, which I had left on another partition, and used manjaro-chroot to repair Artix.
* In the meantime, I figured out how to switch to a console on this keyboard:
Ctrl + Alt + fn + F1 ::)
Install 'downgrade' tool, so in the future when that happens you can downgrade the offending package.. for this it would have been libdisplay-info. Ran into it also a few days ago, seems ok now.
Though krita 5.2.11-2.1 update to 5.2.13-1 isn't working because a lot of mirrors are responding as 404 for krita-5.2.13-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and the two that do download report a corrupted signature issue.
Download of krita (5.2.13-1) started
