[SOLVED] Cant launch sddm after installing libre office

ccm767676 · 2022-04-23 19:55:29

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.

I think i used my aur helper for ncmpcpp i reinstalled it through thetty after and got no issues with the dependancies. Im unable to replicate the issue

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.

Don't forget to mount your boot partition…

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

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

Not even startx works anymore x server fetal error (EE) no screens found (EE)

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

No i just have one efi and one encrypted root and home partition which i un encrypted using

cryptsetup open /dev/drivename name

And then i mounted /dev/mapper/name to /mnt

Scimmia · 2022-04-23 22:17:22

So uname -a and pacman -Q linux match?

No one is 5.17.1 and the other is 5.17.4

Scimmia · 2022-04-23 22:21:05

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.
