[SOLVED] Cant launch sddm after installing libre office

Hi, about an hour ago i tried to install libre office and ran into a conflicting dependancy with ncmpcpp which i unninstalled and  then installed libre office. After that i wasnt able to open any apps anymore so i restarted and sddm wouldnt launch (status=127). I used startx to get into one of my window managers but stull was unable to even launch a terminal. Im running kernel 5.17.1, my cpu is an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and my gpu is an AMD Radeon RX 5500. I am able to use the tty but no graphical apps launch (dmenu does launch). I would greatly appreaciate if anyone could help me resolve this issue.

Kind regards,

Carl Marino

Don't run partial updates, do "pacman -Syu" …

Both these packages are in the official repos, so a conflict is unlikely. Post your full pacman log.

Re: [SOLVED] Cant launch sddm after installing libre office

1. Stop using the AUR helper, it is not your package manager, pacman is.

2. Don't -Sy package, it breaks things: https://gist.github.com/vodik/5660494

3. You don't have a network connection.

Did you use just 'chroot' instead of 'arch-chroot'?

Re: [SOLVED] Cant launch sddm after installing libre office

ah. Yeah, that may not work without all of the pseudo-filesystems mounted. Unless pacman's broken, just arch-chroot in.

Re: [SOLVED] Cant launch sddm after installing libre office

Do you have a separate /boot partition and was it mounted when you updated/reinstalled everything?

Re: [SOLVED] Cant launch sddm after installing libre office

Which means you didn't actually update the kernel you loaded. I'm guessing you had the ESP mounted at /boot at one point? If that's where GRUB is looking for the kernel, it has to be mounted to get updated.
