[arch-general] desktop crash after upgrade
hi everyone i have a intel atom netbook that i have arch installed on and have been using it for the last couple of years without any issues, after doing a pacman -Syu recently when i reboot it gets through boot up to the point of setting up the desktop and then crashes with 2 thirds of the screen from left to right fill with a random rows of dots on a black background and the last third has my desktop with an exit icon at the bottom, i went through the process of downgrading the kernel and got it to boot normally again i thought that because it was a 32 bit computer the problem was to do with arch no longer supporting the i686 architecture so i migrated the laptop to Arch Linux 32, everything went smoothly , after the migration i rebooted the laptop and i was back with the same problem. i chrooted into the laptop with a live usb stick and retrieved a portion of the journal here,s the log. error-report http://codepad.org/mtWYqv2N my Desktop Environment is lxde if more of the logs are needed please let me know i would be thankful for any pointers to fixing the problem shadrock

my guess would be more 4.13 problems like this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1498725 you were probably right to downgrade. you might try that again. good luck.
Hi there you might consider to first, report issue with your environment, like hardware or system version and, this seems more likely a video card driver issue, check out the driver for your netbook module, and it's should have a compatible one On Wed, Nov 29, 2017 at 04:26:37AM +0000, niya via arch-general wrote:
