[SOLVED]KDE doesn't boot up after upgrade

xameada · 2014-05-26 19:33:00

So after a full system upgrade, I cannot boot into KDE environment. The screen automatically goes into tty1 and the log says:

systemd-fsck[301]: fsck.fat 3.0.26 (2014-03-07)
systemd-fsck[301]: /dev/sda9: 339 files, 8647/523262 clusters
systemd-fsck[300]: /dev/sda8: clean, 472296/104420224 files/41676800 blocks

I tried using dosfsck to check and repair the system, but that didn't fix the problem. I'm running out of ideas on how to fix this problem and would appreciate for help.

Can you change to a different console? (Type Ctrl-Alt-F2) . You should get a log in prompt. Log in, and check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for errors. You may want to pastebin the file using a program like wgetpaste and then provide us with the link it provides

Is there any chance you did a partial upgrade? Try to perform pacman -Syu

The problem exists because the i965_dri.so file seems to be missing

ewaller$@$odin ~ [127]1489 %pacman -Qo /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so                         
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so is owned by intel-dri 10.2.0rc3-1
ewaller$@$odin ~ 1490 %

If the pacman -Syu does not fix it, try re-installing the intel-dri package.

Bingo! There were some conflicting problems with apache-ant and python2-twisted, and so my system was never upgraded. I solved the problem by entering:

 sudo pacman -S --force apache-ant python2-twisted

sudo pacman -Syyu

And then the system was successfully upgraded and the problem is fixed!

Thank you!
