[SOLVED] XFCE 4.16 black screen after upgrade & reboot

Hi all,

I had a freshly installed Arch + XFCE4 OS that was working fine.

Today (5th of april 2021) I upgrade the system doing a:

$ pacman -Syu

Notable thing that were upgraded are:

  • Nvidia and mesa driver

  • Linux kernel

  • xfce4 battery-plugin and systemload-plugin

Then after reboot and login I got a black screen with only the mouse pointer. After searching for a solution I found that removing:

$ rm -r ~/.cache 
$ mv ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4_crash

allow the environment to show up fine. But after a reboot the black screen is back sad.

My problem is similar to the one exposed here : https://forum.manjaro.org/t/xfce-4-16-doesnt-work/46045 So I tried to remove the whiskermenu menu, then remove cache and config folder and reboot. But the problem remains sad.

Here is the xsessions-errors content (sorry there are some part in French):

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE 4.16 black screen after upgrade & reboot

It sounds like my problem a couple of days ago, I had exactly the same problem as you

"mesa driver" update, this screws things up

With help I got it sorted, check out my post, I noted all things that I had to done, Scroll down to the last few posts, I listed what needs to be changed, 1 to 6

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE 4.16 black screen after upgrade & reboot

You are totally right. After following the steps 1. to 6. I get my Arch system working again. It was probably a "mesa" driver issue conflicting with the Nvidia one.

Thanks for the tip, I will never find your solution with the symptoms of my problem.
