Hello! I've been having issues with drivers recently. First, when I switched from Wayland to X11, all of my apps using openGL suddenly stopped working, only giving me error 65544. Then, this I tried to update my driver stack and reboot my machine, boom. It stops working and when I try to boot it up it gets stuck to this part. Please help !!

#

can you switch to a tty

stone blade Dec 16, 2025, 7:53 PM

#

I've had similar issue I don't believe you can access a tty in this state

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 7:53 PM

#

this I tried to update my driver stack

What did you do... hopefully you didn't try to install drivers from the nvidia site

stone blade Dec 16, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

stone blade I've had similar issue I don't believe you can access a tty in this state

could be wrong though

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

stone blade What gpu do you have?

Amd radeon

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

(You probably did)

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

I think I can access a tty though

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

cinder kestrel Amd radeon

Wtf did you do

#

You don't just update the amd driver stack

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

gilded crater (You probably did)

I installed them from pacman 😭😭

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

@cinder kestrel What did you install

#

Because it's already installed from mesa

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

gilded crater You don't just update the amd driver stack

openGL just stopped working and I've had driver issues in the past too

stone blade Dec 16, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

boot a live usb go to mount and -Syu?

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

cat /var/log/pacman.log | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

#

Tty and send the link this gives

stone blade Dec 16, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

or if you can access terminal just -Syu

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

gilded crater <@728269086316036188> What did you install

If I remember correctly, mesa, lib32-mesa, vulkan-radeon, lib32-vulkan-radeon and I don't really remember the rest 😭😭 my badd

#

Wait it's been a while since I didn't tty can you remind me how to access it 😭😭😭

stone blade Dec 16, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

theres two types of amd drivers

#

amdgpu and radeon

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

No don't tell me

#

Oh my god

#

Oh fuck

#

I didn't think I was this stupid wtf

stone blade Dec 16, 2025, 7:57 PM

#

what

#

How old is your gpu. What generation

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 7:58 PM

#

stone blade theres two types of amd drivers

Yeah there's the really old radeon kernel module but it's not related to those packages

#

the radeon in their names doesn't refer to it

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 7:58 PM

#

cinder kestrel I didn't think I was this stupid wtf

Did you run a -Sy at some point

#

Send the link this gives journalctl -b -0 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

#

in addition to the other command I sent

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 7:59 PM

#

gilded crater Did you run a `-Sy` at some point

I did

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 7:59 PM

#

stone blade How old is your gpu. What generation

I don't remember I'm really sorry

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 7:59 PM

#

bruh

#

lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "(VGA|3D)"

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 7:59 PM

#

Idk if that helps but

#

My CPU is a Ryzen 7000

stone blade Dec 16, 2025, 8:00 PM

#

gilded crater `lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "(VGA|3D)"`

or jsut like fastfetch

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:00 PM

#

gilded crater `lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "(VGA|3D)"`

I did that before my pc stopped working I remember

#

It told me amdgpu was used

stone blade Dec 16, 2025, 8:00 PM

#

ok thats good then

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:00 PM

#

I can't tty though...

stone blade Dec 16, 2025, 8:01 PM

#

ctrl+alt+F1-F6

#

one of those should be tty

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:01 PM

#

Change the systemd boot target

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:01 PM

#

Yeah I tried that

#

OK I CGOT INTO TTY

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

Add this boot param to boot to tty without starting the dm

systemd.unit=multi-user.target

#

ok

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

I THOUGHT I HAD TO PRESS THE FN KEY LMAOO

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

Now send the links

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

Alrighty

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

gilded crater `cat /var/log/pacman.log | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st`

#

Wait

#

Here

#

Am I doomed?

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

The other one too

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

Mb I'm stupid

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

[2025-12-16T19:25:01+0100] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Rns mesa'

#

This is the issue

#

you deleted mesa

#

just install it again

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:07 PM

#

It tells me it's already installed

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:08 PM

#

gilded crater Send the link this gives `journalctl -b -0 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st`

http://0x0.st/PrJe.txt

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:08 PM

#

Then maybe you pressed n and it didn't go through

#

You mistyped

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:08 PM

#

Mb

#

I think it wouldn't uninstall mesa because it would've broken alot of dependencies

#

I'm really sorry for bugging you about that

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:12 PM

#

cinder kestrel http://0x0.st/PrJe.txt

Still wrong

@gilded crater

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:22 PM

#

The reason why lightdm doesn't start doens't catch my eye

#

Reinstall all packages in case you accidentally quit a ongoing install/update
pacman -Qqn | pacman --overwrite='*' -Syu -

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:27 PM

#

Alrighty

#

We have some dependencies issues

#

😭

#

I can't run the command since it'll break multiple dependencies

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

...

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

Ill modify it to bypass them

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

That shouldn't happen

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

I don't get it though it should override the dependencies

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

Show

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

gilded crater That shouldn't happen

Yeah that's weird right?

gilded crater Dec 16, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

That means you haven't updated in a long while

#

3 months at least

#

going by the rofi-wayland

#

Remove the lib32-svt-av1

#

it's from the aur so the update order for it is a bit different if you still need it

cinder kestrel Dec 16, 2025, 8:36 PM

#

Bet

#

The command's now running

#

I got an error..p

copper storm Dec 17, 2025, 2:09 AM

#
