Got a problem with Evolution after applying this update - Evbolution doesn’t display mail content or header. Neither in preview, nor when opening a mail. Just a blank window.
Packages shows that stable has an older version of evolution. Commits · main · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / evolution · GitLab. so maybe that version has known bugs like yours @leftbit
Does starting evolution from the command line print out any info?
There are some folders that can be cleaned / renamed to check if there is an issue with settings or cache.
The user’s data files
$HOME/.local/share/evolution
Various configuration and state files
$HOME/.config/evolution
Account settings
$HOME/.config/evolution/sources
Disposable data caches
$HOME/.cache/evolution
I did the update few minutes ago, everything is OK, no issue at all with dkms modules nor with firefox or with AUR python based app.
Thank you! 
Same here… Brave is acting weird, it won’t show most buttons online or images associated with buttons.
I’ve tried switching different themes (light / dark, gtk / classic )
Here the fix:
Regards.
So I tried again to update today and it worked fine. Turns out last time I ran pamac remove --orphans and it removed GDM! No wonder graphical login was no longer working! I was more careful to the command output this time:
$ pamac remove --orphans

Apply transaction ? [y/N]
Transaction cancelled.
For those on GNOME, can you reproduce that ?
No, I have gdm set as explicitly installed. Set gdm to be explicitly installed so you will not have to deal with this again. Pamac (gui) has an option to set it to explicitly installed or pamac install --as-explicit gdm
That’s probably my fault, because I was fiddling with GDM before the update and I may have done a wrong move. FYI the only thing that I remember modifying is the following (yes I saved what I did in a script):
# configure GDM using current user desktop settings
function configure-gdm {
# copy monitor config (e.g. scaling)
sudo cp "${HOME}/.config/monitors.xml" /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml
# relaunch the command after boot so the modifications survive system updates
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/gdm.service.d/
echo "[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/cp ${HOME}/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml" \
| sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/gdm.service.d/override.conf > /dev/null
# enable fractional scaling
sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
# set mouse speed
SPEED="$(dbus-launch gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse speed)"
sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse speed "$SPEED"
# set touchpad speed
SPEED="$(dbus-launch gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad speed)"
sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad speed "$SPEED"
}

Thank you to whoever pressed the button to push Lutris 0.5.13 !
Lutris works great now with VKD3D 2.9 and all the dx12 games i tested work as expected.
Thank you

I don’t think so, pamac lists:
Required By : --
Optional For : --
Provides : --
Replaces : --
Conflicts With : --
So unless it is set as explicit it is an orphan. The commands in the script do not change anything about the way the package manager handles GDM. (I’ve just spun up a VM with a clean install and this has GDM as explicitly installed so I guess at a point in the past it was not required to be explicitly installed)
Yes those commands does not change anything, but since I’m the only one having this issue, it was probably a wrong move that I didn’t remember making that created this problem. The fact that I fiddled with GDM just before the update is probably not a coincidence.
Is there any higher purpose to your comment, or are you just trying to let the people know how clever you are at sarcasm?

Yeah … the point was that the user had somehow not interacted with or reported the results of the solution already posted, quoted in their response, and asked by both myself and phil.
If you missed that … maybe I should quote it again for you

This is a support thread, so here ought to be fine. cscs is just making snide noise.
No … actually its not.
and anyways … points were cited and answered already. Therefor quotes.

Actually it’s you making noise… 
cscs is helping more than you. I don’t understand your comments.
