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:
Code: [Select]
(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.

That's not what you said. You said X wasn't starting. It is. kwin_x11 has a library issue
Code: [Select]
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:
Code: [Select]
git clone https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packagesK/kwin.git
cd kwin/trunk/
Open PKGBUILD in an editor and comment or delete
Quote
rm -r $pkgdir/usr/lib/sy
Code: [Select]
makepkg -si

Thank you for spotting the issue!
I'll wait for kwin (and friends) to come from general repos
