[SOLVED]vgdk-pixbuf2 seg fault

So, I'm having an issue that I have had before, which is Cinnamon getting in this Fallback loop. I remember the last time I had to solve this I had to reinstall a package. I came across a topic that described my issue, and the solve was to reinstall the gdk-pixbuf2 package. This go around I tired to do that and it's seg faulting:

section9% sudo pacman -S gdk-pixbuf2

Anyone else running into this?

What are the contents of the coredump?

man coredumpctl

for more info. If this is a skylake system with propietary nvidia drivers (and the coredump contains mention of lock-elision), this is a known issue that's due to be resolved with the next update sitting in testing, see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46064 Workarounds would include installing from testing (with all the caveats that implies, like the new kernel and potentially unstable stuff), installing nvidia-beta from the AUR or recompiling glibc without --enable-lock-elision until the update lands in stable

I did a fresh install yesterday and have this issue too. I installed the intel-ucode but it didn't resolve the issue, I am now trying the beta drivers from nvidia.

And now it is working.

Yep, this was definitely the issue. I am running the beta NVIDIA drivers from the AUR and am now able to get into my window managers.

Thanks!

Neat, don't forget to mark the thread as SOLVED by editing your initial post

Just reporting back that the newest nvidia packages (released on 2/2) fixed the problem for me and I no longer have to use the beta drivers from a the AUR.
