A day after I upgraded arch with pacman -Syu, I booted up into console as usual, which worked fine, but then tried to start X and got this far:
And here it froze. I had to manually power off. I tried rebooting a few times with the same result.
I tried doing a system upgrade again, but this made no difference.
I downgraded to 2025/5/26 and still no difference.
Finally I downgraded to the date 2025/5/20 and now it works again.
What do I do? Should I report this as a bug somewhere? When should I try to upgrade again?
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
EDIT:
So the problem is indeed the mesa package, and downgrading this to mesa 1:25.0.5-1 fixes the issue.
I still can't just pacman -Syu though, so hopefully they will fix the bug soon.
Thank you Seth for the help!

Likely https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=305727 - in doubt post your xorg log, notably if you do not use nouveau (the bug exposed some intel misconfigs running in software emulation…)
Also avoid shutting down w/ the power button, ctrl+alt+f3 might still get you to TTY3?

That does look like my problem.
Apologies for stupid/newbie question, but: Is this going to be fixed soon so I can just do pacman -Syu again, or do I need to manually administer/downgrade the responsible packages?

Edit: in case it does and 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.
