Guys, there can also be the problem that the disk is full. Hence some packages might be partly installed or not at all. Output of df -h in a terminal can give a clue about that case. Also check if you see some issues within /var/log/pacman.log of the last update you made. XFCE tend to show just a black screen when it has no space to write stuff …

And this might not be helping:

Those empty files should not be empty. Which means crucial system packages are broken and the kernels were the tip of the iceberg. Maybe a partial upgrade? Or a hard reset and damaged filesystem? I don’t know.
