Hi,
Apologies in advanced if this is answered elsewhere, I've looked but not found, or if this turns out to be something stupid I did. I have some experience managing my own system but since I rarely have any issues I feel like I'm still a newbie. Also, I'm writing on a mobile phone so additional apologies any bad editting.
Anyway, I did an update today and since then, gdm loads but then login aborts and brings me back to the gem screen. I have Wayland and X installed (both previously in working order) and when I try the X version it shows me a grey screen with the message "oh no! Something has gone wrong. a problem has occurred and the system cannot recover. Please logout and try again." Then a button to "logout" which brings me back to the gdm login screen. I'm inning gnome.
I can login in text mode and have full access to the system, including internet.
systemctl status gdm
Is here and
journalctl -xe
is here
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Please post the full journal for a boot with the issue without the -x option, you can also drop -e.

Remove xf86-video-intel, in fact all xf86-video* packages

I now get a black screen in between login and next login screen but no change otherwise
Thanks anyway
Any other thoughts?

Repost a new journal output, there's also some gnome shell extension crash, but it should be the disable handler that should be disabling them? FWIW since "latest update" means absolutely jack squat, post the /var/log/pacman.log covering the faulty update.

Here goes
The relevant part of pacman.log
And journalctl -b
Thanks

If you create a new user, can you start a start a gnome session with the new user?

And journalctl -b
That is certainly not your journal.
Why does your pacman log run backwards?

Hi,
Apologies for that journal, not sure how that happened. Anyway, creating a new user allowed me to login just fine, so I disabled all my extensions and retried to login as me and, lo and behold, it worked... Thank you all for your help, I will mark this as solved. I'll repost the offending extension when I find it.
Thanks again!
