A post was split to a new topic: My gnome not work Oh no something wrong!
Same hereā¦ Brave is acting weird, it wonāt show most buttons online or images associated with buttons.
Iāve 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
Thatās 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 donāt 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. (Iāve 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 Iām the only one having this issue, it was probably a wrong move that I didnāt 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 ā¦ 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 ā¦ 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 ā¦ actually its not.
and anyways ā¦ points were cited and answered already. Therefor quotes.

Letās roll this back. I wrote here, along with many others, that I was affected by an issue, and mentioned what fixed it and thanked the devs for their time.
Look at the reception Iāve been given by you since. I hope you and cscs are not typical of members here, if so, have at it, guys. Iām happy to leave obnoxious people to their own society.
@cscs Stop making snide noises, theyāre disturbing the poplulace! 
Thanks. Iām on 5.15 kernel. I used Timeshift to restore my system this morning because I use it for work every day. Iām doing a live stream tonight so Iāll try the updates again tomorrow night.
Brave Nightly (or beta) breaks after this update. Launching it from the terminal
with
--disable-gpu-rasterization
helps but does not fix it completely.
For me, the update itself went smoothly, but afterwards, there were some problems. Specifically, both of the programs I had on here involving navigable 3D virtual worlds either did not launch at all (eg, Toontown Rewritten), or launched but had no sound (eg, Phoenix Firestorm Second Life Viewer, which wrongly informed me āthis computer has no sound driverā). Just doing a āreinstall on topā didnāt work. What did work was: Uninstall broken program; restart computer; reinstall program; restart computer. After that, both broken programs worked fine again.
