Why does it try to resolve llvm v18?

Typo… try "mesa-utils"

I thought you had removed the llvm17 stuff?

You've two llvm versions, but not the one for that mesa version you're holding onto

I did, it doesn't show when I attempt to remove it so it should be gone. It might be some leftover dependencies. I'll look around for that to see if I can remove those.

[under@PC ~]$ sudo pacman -R llvm17
error: target not found: llvm17

IgnorePkg = mesa

I forgot that I had that there, I removed it and updated mesa.

Underplayer97 · 2025-01-23 16:32:48

I found the rest of the dependencies that was left over. It appears that llvm17-libs and llvm17-debug didn't get removed when I uninstalled llvm17. It should be gone now.

seth · 2025-01-23 16:34:11

It's in teh list of foreign pacakges.
OpenGL is now fixed and therefore plasma works?

(And I stand corrected, you could have re-installed yourself out of this, but this way is more satisfying

Underplayer97 · 2025-01-23 16:35:16

IT WORKS NOW! I just rebooted my PC and SDDM and plasma works!

Underplayer97 · 2025-01-23 16:37:18

Thanks so much for helping me figure this issue out. I will now change the title to be solved.

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.
