[Solved] Dbus-broker failing after update

hello,
I tried to update yesterday but i got a kernal panic in the middle of the update
first i got the error that my linux-lts kernal was deleted so i went to archiso and arch-chrooted to my arch and i did pacman -S linux-lts and then pacman -Syu that allowed me to go to my os but somehow my sddm starts fine but when i switch to another tty everything is blank so i found out that systemd-logind has failed alongside dbus-broker

sorry for the bad image quality

[Edit]
(after this sddm comes up and after entering my password sddm crashes too)

i tried looking for package corruption

pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files'

i got some python2 libraries so i don't think that is relevant

I ran a dbus debugging script http://0x0.st/HhSi.sh (made by seth, i guess)
this was the output
http://0x0.st/XAuR.txt

after this i found out asus's config for dbus broker was broken so i fixed it by running

pacman -S asusctl --overwrite "*"

in the chroot environment
and thr problem was solved
