When pasting code, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and more convenient to scroll through.

Did you reboot after updating?

semson · 2011-09-03 15:56:46

corrected

yes i did several reboots & it still happens.... no idea at all

okay i see the common package for us are : ca-certificates & gnutls. i tried pacman -U previous version but no help

bsdson.tw · 2011-09-04 10:38:20

in fact, I have restored all those packages changed during these 2 days with no luck...
and google gives no clue, neither.

ps. the "screensaver unlock" and "system settings->user accounts" seem not work...

I think it has something to do with gtk. I don't have gnome but a lot of the packages that I have that depend on gtk were crashing . I downgraded gtk and everything seems fine.

  pacman  -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gtk2-2.24.5-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

This issue happened again after upgrade gcin to 1.6.6-1.
And the patch from bug 25866 can't work-around anymore.
