Error after restarting arch (gnome+wayland)

I am getting a white screen saying "oh no, something has gone wrong." A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact a system administrator.

when doing journalctl -xe -u gdm I get this:

Edit: I forgot to say I'm running arch from a lenovo x1 carbon gen 8, and everything is up to date.

Re: Error after restarting arch (gnome+wayland)

I've gotten this before, the fix was just a simple `yay -Syu`, or if you want to use regular pacman `sudo pacman -Syu` from a TTY.
