Booting into blank screen after switching to unstable

Yeah, post midnight tunnel vision kicked in by the end :smiley:

So some additional info:

  • I see a lot of mentions of ā€œmanjaro unstable is arch stableā€, I guess I believed it too much…
  • Polonium git page states ā€œX11 has been briefly tested but is not supported.ā€ So I thought it should function on a basic level.

Anyway, polonium is installed with kpackagetool6 and I couldn’t figure out how to revert that, so I opted for switching back to stable. In between rsync fixed a dirty flag on the boot drive, but there were no other errors. After reverting to stable I tried to downgrade packages back to their stable versions, but that fails with a big wall of text that starts like this:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

syntax-highlighting5: /usr/share/org.kde.syntax-highlighting/syntax-bundled/4dos.xml exists in filesystem (owned by syntax-highlighting)

At this point I booted up the system and it works. Its really strange because plasma 6 is active with x11, polonium is working, as is valgrind. Makes me thing something completely unrelated went wrong.

For now I’ll test around if its stable enough, thanks for the help.
