Ignore the GPU error, this has been there for a long time and doesn’t prevent boot. I can access the TTY, but networking is completely broken.
Has anyone else had similar issues with this update? I had ran yay -Syu twice, first time it was successful but then there was about 30 packages to update when I ran again. After I installed that, none of my programs would open, and upon rebooting I got that screen.
I get error when trying this in tty4. sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glib2-2.80.0-1 could not find or read package. Must not be in cache for me. any other way to downgrade? glib2
Wow, very nice, downgrade worked for glib2, but after reboot, I have same screen in gnome ‘oh no oops!’ dialog, but my browser opens up because its set to auto-open. So I have to control+alt+f4 to open tty4 console. Any other recommendations on downgrades, system is up to date except glib2. Thanks for you help
Did you set glib2 to ignore? Otherwise, when you reboot (since you said the system is up-to-date), you’ll run into the same issue.
Apart from ignoring the package, there would be nothing else you need to do. Just look out for a future update to glib2 (that is, one newer than the problematic one).
glib2 is a core package, which means it should not be ignored indefinitely. As such, you would try to see if the problematic version begins working as expected, even if you don’t get a new update for it.
In the case of glib2, it gets updated pretty much every two weeks, so it shouldn’t be a problem. So, this note of caution is for other packages that may only get updated once or twice a year.
I had same behavior after glib2 downgrade. So I went to recent updates archlinux.org and looked through the 2024-03-23 updates and reinstalled mutter because it looked like gnome window manager issue and reinstalled glib2 to latest update and it works again. Thanks again
booted into live environment and chrooted to my system then ran an update and all working
