From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi everyone, I use hyprland on archlinux and recently some of my software just dont even open anymore. I am not sure what kind of log i can provide but here is what i did: i do system update everyday, i also play a bit with Kodi and qt5 yesterday. I am not sure what is the issues right now but it seem to be a native package or dependencies issue because heroic Flatpak work fine(didnt try bitwarden or vscodium tho). Any help would mean a lot for me. Thanks!

The software that don't work: vscodium-bin(AUR), Heroic-launcher-bin(AUR) and bitwarden-desktop(official repo) refuse to open at all. Steam(official repo) open and crash loop

Fix: use hyprctl setcursor theme size in my case i use bibata

Do you have backups from before your last update? If so of start there. If not, try to uninstall and reinstall the AUR packages once at a time. You probably also have some kind of option to look for broke packages and repair them with your package manager. Another thing to try would be to open say vscodium from the cli and see if it outputs anything useful when the program fails.

Edit: this isn't an exhaustive list and I don't use arch, but it's what I would do if I were on a rolling distro.

Edit 2: Here's the commands for your package manager. Make a current state backup and then start looking for your problem. Section 7 to start with from the website.

Thank you a lot for the advises, I dont have a backup(my btfs snapper is mess up cuz i never know who to do it properly. I start to regret now). Funny enough, there is literally no log from any software i tried. vscodium: none heroic launcher: Checking for beta autoupdate feature for deb/rpm distributions Found package-type: rpm [1] 26604 segmentation fault (core dumped) heroic steam: really weird log bitwarden: [1] 27089 segmentation fault (core dumped) bitwarden-desktop

about pacman i checked dependencies and thing like that but sadly they seem to be normal

You could check the backtrace of one of your crashes

coredumpctl debug
> bt

And then dump that trace here

It might be related to Mesa/GPU drivers

this is what it give. This is way more than my limited knowledge i have no clue what am i doing.

That dump didn't reveal any particular useful information, however it seems like multiple people are reporting issues with mesa + segfault, e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=301550

Mesa v24.3.2-1 in Arch should revert that issue, Mesa v24.3.1 seems to be the problem one

thank for helping i fixed it. It was because of cursor theme

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Not what I expected, good thing you managed to get it solved!

Good luck friend. I found this article relating to clearing segfaults. Maybe something they're helps. Out of my wheelhouse for advice.
