System doesn't boot, gets stuck on '[OK] Reached Graphical Interface' with the mouse cursor

ok, so lets reinstall video drivers:
mhwd -r pci video-linux
install it:
mhwd -i pci video-linux

reinstall kernels:
pacman -S linux515 linux519

reinstall this:
pacman -S mesa libglvnd lib32-libglvnd libxext lib32-libxext

if there are no errors, type exit and reboot and see if it worked

The second command failed.

Error connecting: Could not connect: No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly

Also, my current running kernel is actually linux515 not 519.

I reinstalled it too.

so reboot and see

Even though the first command failed?

Ok I rebooted and I’m now getting an error in form of GUI.

Oh! After pressing ‘Ok’ It worked! I’m on my desktop now! Finally.
But still, is this error anything to worry about?

Fixed that error with sudo chown -R sddm:sddm /var/lib/sddm/.config.
