GNOME 3.16 System not starting

Hello Arch Forums,

I updated my Arch Installation to GNOME 3.16 today. But when I attempted a reboot, my system only told me, that a user manager for UID 120 had been started and then went unresponsive. I believe this has to do with the update, but even if it doesn't, can someone please help me, I need my machine for school.

Regards,
Sebastian

Load up the Arch live ISO, mount all your partitions and use `arch-chroot` and then downgrade the GNOME packages.

It's probably not a good idea to use [testing] on a machine you need to use for anything important.

If you're using [testing] 
1. don't expect things to work. It's called testing for a reason.
2. use the [testing] forum. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=49

Do you by any chance see this in journalctl?

error while loading shared libraries: libgirepository-1.0.so.1

uninstall and reinstall. That's what I did to fix it. I tried to do a find on the files that a pacman -Qo | grep libgirepository spat out and they failed. A reinstall of the package in the output of that command did the trick.

Re: GNOME 3.16 System not starting

[gumby:~] » sudo pacman -Qo | grep libgirepository
error: no targets specified (use -h for help)

Do you remember what package it was ?

Edit: Scratch that fixed it Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I had this same issue, I had to re-install:

python-gobject gobject-introspection gobject-introspection-runtime

And everything started working again.

Re: GNOME 3.16 System not starting

I had the same problem. I had to edit the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf and uncomment #EnableWayland=false
That solved the problem for me. I think is a problem with gnome and wayland.
