Tried updating GLIBC to 2.38 now i cant open applications

I was trying to update GLIBC and it was recommended to tey and remove some conflicting packages that where preventing the update (specifically kservice5 vs kservice and kwayland5 vs kwayland) i think i did that and now i can no longer open any applications on my DOM (including the terminal). I tried a few other things when trying to do the install but i think this is what screwed me over.


Moderator edit: Removed useless photos

Update everything from chroot. And post errors as text not pictures.

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

For more information, please see:


:bangbang::bangbang: Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Package glibc 2.38-2.0 was included in Stable Update 2023-08-11. glibc 2.38-7 was included in Stable Update 2023-10-09 and there are no later versions available in Manjaro Testing & Unstable branches or Arch stable branch

So if system had been updated normally there is no later version of glibc to update to
