X no longer accepting connections

I have been running archlinux with Xfce and lightdm for quite a while on my laptop.
I tried running `pacman -Syu` on the 19 of june and i ended with a machine that could no longer start X.
I rolled back to my previous installation (08-06) and didn't look back in the hope that it was just a fluke.

Yesterday i again tried to upgrade but i still have the same.

I have no error messages, X simply doesn't seem to startup properly and none of the X clients (in my case that would be lightdm) is able to connect to it. Also just trying to kill the X process is not working and i simply have to wait till the process finishes all by itself (takes about 5 minutes). Also startx manually doesn't work.

I know this is not a lot of information but i don't know how to trouble shoot this one.

Hardware is a simple intel laptop with intel builtin gpu.

Gr,S

Re: X no longer accepting connections

Post a pacman.log and journalctl -b and a Xorg.0.log after a failed x start attempt. Can you still switch to a TTY during the "non-responding" screem?

Mod note: Not a laptop issue, moving to NC.
