[SOLVED]GUI non functional after failed system update
After yet another kernel panic during a system update today, my GUI has stopped working entirely. First, the system gets stuck in the kernel boot screen and lightdm wouldn't appear, although I could still login via tty.
I fixed this by removing all of the corrupted lightdm files and reinstalling them. So now my lightdm works as normal, but whenever I login to my cinnamon DE, all that shows up is a black screen(no panel, no background, plank and conky are frozen, etc) although the cursor still does work. Checking the logs from previous boot do appear to show a coredump of caribou and some kernel taint related to nvidia:

ELF object binary architecture: AMD x86-64I couldn't find much information about my issues so I'm not sure what's happening or which log messages are useful here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED]GUI non functional after failed system update
You need to check whether the update hasn't left your system in a borked state
sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files'reinstall everything comming up here as lacking mtree information with pacmans --dbonly flag followed by a reinstall of all of them without that flag (as well as things comming up with corrupted or changed files, though some can be normal here). Post the output you get from that command in doubt.
The current nvidia drivers have come up with some issues in the current version where they leave the kernel memory in a corrupted state that can trigger a panic when systemd tries to reinit on update. Consider installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-535xx-dkms instead for the interim.

Re: [SOLVED]GUI non functional after failed system update
I found and reinstalled all the packages missing mtree files with the --dbonly flag and then without like you said and got everything back to normal now. And yes, I've been noticing my system having lots of kernel panics lately(sometimes during updates, like today and other times when I'm shutting down, especially if I have the system on for a long time). I didn't know it was due to the nvidia driver. Do I uninstall it for now and download the one from the AUR? The kernel panics are getting quite bothersome now and I want to avoid them to prevent headaches like this.

You don't need to explicitly uninstall (and doing so might take some other deps with it unless you use the -Rdd flag) you can just "install" the replacement packages in one go that should prompt for the appropriate replacements getting done. Note that for DKMS based packages to work properly you need to install the linux-headers package of the kernel you're using.

Re: [SOLVED]GUI non functional after failed system update
Ahh I see. I'll try that maybe and see if the kernel panics finally stop. Thank you!
