Dear list, my system is no more running smooth after yesterday bunch of upgrades. The box has very classic and standard settings, and regularly upgraded. The symptoms: -when login in runlevel 3, the password prompt appears twice -after starx (XFCE4), all my previous open windows (Firefox, thunderbirds,clementine) take age ( 3-4 mn to display the contents). -Thunderbird return invalid password to mail server, please retry. I clic on retry, then it starts. I suspects there is a misconfiguration in my new */etc/pam.d/login* file, and some authentification issues. Please find below my *pacman log:*
