[SOLVED] GNOME not starting anymore: libgtk-4.so.1 symbol lookup error

Hi,

for some weeks now (Arch is not my main Linux), I am unable to start GNOME:

All of this started after updating the whole system.

Re: [SOLVED] GNOME not starting anymore: libgtk-4.so.1 symbol lookup error

Because "cairo-infinality-ultimate" isn't in the repos (nor in the AUR, i guess "anymore") and you're also getting errors rom one of the mirrors and wtf. do you suppose "-vyy" will do?

Re: [SOLVED] GNOME not starting anymore: libgtk-4.so.1 symbol lookup error

OK, removing cairo-infinality-ultimate fixed the problem:

# pacman -S cairo
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: cairo and cairo-infinality-ultimate are in conflict. Remove cairo-infinality-ultimate? [y/N]

Thanks!

I wonder why this didn't happen automatically/why I wasn't prompted during regular system updates. Or may I have missed it?


Don't know what I was expecting from "-vyy". I used it once and it's now in my history so I kept using it whenever I wanted to update the system.

Re: [SOLVED] GNOME not starting anymore: libgtk-4.so.1 symbol lookup error

Because pacman doesn't manage AUR packages at all.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

Stop using that "-vyy" nonsense and don't use commands you don't understand.

Finally please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
