Hi there, yesterday I “pacman -Syyu” and something went wrong.
Now SDDM changed theme and it doesn’t let me in. I type the password and it send back again at the same SDDM login page.
On TTY I’ve tried to refresh the mirrors and redo an update, no new packages, but I can’t install python-click and libimobile. Names are not 100% correct but I’ll check them later, if I cand find a working pc.
Do you have any suggestion ?
By the way yesterday after the update the system ws not responding anymore, so I had to reboot and tadaa, no login.
Thank you
Most likely you may have landed in a Wayland session or so. You can try to replace sddm with the newer more stable sddm-git version from the AUR: pamac build sddm-git
Thanks philm, I’ve tried what you suggest but it didn’t work. I’m stuck on a login page. Any help welcome, thank you

In TTY Xorg is not working:
startx
do not work, black screen for a moment and then back to the TTY. Like what happens when I’m at login screen and type my password. Could be a Xorg related problem? I have an NVIDIA, nvidia-prime drivers.
from dmesg | grep nvidia:

sudo modprobe nvidia gives no output.
Moreover, not sure if connected, I cannot update the AUR package ‘libimobiledevice-git‘, it happened after the upgrade as well.
this is probably the reason… there were several posts here with the same issue, where you have installed some packages from AUR, that are also in official repos, and are now causing issues… post output from:

remove these packages from AUR, that are also in official repos:
sudo pacman -Rdd sddm-git libimobiledevice-git libimobiledevice-glue-git libplist-git libusbmuxd-git
install them from official repos:
sudo pacman -S sddm libimobiledevice libplist libusbmuxd
rerun update:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
if no errors, reboot
Yes it worked! Thank you Brahma, I’m reading Bagavadgita right now, so it makes more sense to me to be helped by Brahma
