I wanted to do a full update, but kept having the error that hyprutils 0.3.something was conflicting with hyprutils-git 0.2.something. So I used pacman to install hyprland and had it remove hyprland-git and all the associated -git versions of stuff like hyprpaper.
Anyway, then I did the -Syu, and rebooted, then logged in, only for the login screen to show up again. Now, whenever I login in, it just loops me back to the login.
I feel super stupid for messing with this stuff, and now I’m probably going to have to just reinstall everything. Thankfully, my dual boot windows was not affected.
If anyone wants to laugh at me, it’s ok, I deserve it.
As others said, the fix will be easy. Reinstalling everything should never be something you have to do. In the very worst case scenario, chrooting should solve any situation. Contrary to other OS, even removing system files will not force you to do a fresh install from scratch.
U actually just removed part of hyperland environment ,system is fine actually ,u just need to switch to tty or using live system and chroot to install again package u removed and that’s it gonna work again.
Just drop to console ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 and yay install the got ones again?
It worked, thanks buddy
Will try once I extract my personal files from the system into a USB
