Gdm does not start after "pacman -Syudd" command

Hello,
after much despair and googling I now decide to look for help here. After I updated my system with “pacman -Syudd” gnome started to freeze.
I decided to log out and now gdm won’t start anymore.
When rebooting it flickers three times and nothing more happens. In text mode with the command “systemctl status gdm” I see the following:

Gdm: on display_added: assertion ‘GDM_IS REMOTE DISPLAY (display)’ failed

I would appreciate any help x)

If it is important:
I use an AMD GPU and CPU.

That command is effectively breaking your system by skipping all dependency checks.

Why would you do something like that?

You will need to bypass the displaymanager - edit grub command line and append the number 3 - prese F10 to boot.

Then login and run a full system sync

sudo pacman -Syu

Okay, but pacman tells me there is nothing to do.

There is a warning that says:
nano-syntax-highlighting: local (2020.10.10-10-g1aa64a8-2) is newer than extra (2020.10.10-2).
But I think that is unimportant.

Thanks in advance for the quick reply

I believe I may be experiencing the same issue. I had the same result after 4 manjaro installations, the first was my main os. It appeared every time after the updates from the pacman gui. I also installed arch linux and experienced the same issue. I think it
Is caused by an update in gnome that causes the screen to freeze after reboot. I am using a ASUS duo laptop (2024). I was going to post the issue here, was hoping someone can explain how I can figure out the cause without having to install each package one by one.
