Re: SDDM black screen with cursors

So, in order to not break my system again.
I must avoid to pin pacman packages. And I imagine I shall set up sort of a virtual environnement (like it can be done in python) to have my working libraries packed together, so I have let say to llvm version one for my code one for my system right ?

Re: SDDM black screen with cursors

If there's no better solution, you're gonna LD_PRELOAD them or extend the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but essentially yes - the stuff that requires specific libraries gets special treatment, partial updates will usually and eventually run you into trouble.
Why does "your code" require specific older versions of llvm?

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.

Re: SDDM black screen with cursors

I use AdaptiveCpp for a HPC code and the compilation flow is limited to LLVM version between 15 and 20, last time i updated my packages (so llvm 21 it broke it and blocking update was the only workaround I found at the moment)
I'll figure out a clean solution !
Thanks a lot for your help !!
