I did a system upgrade today and got the same problem. I "solved" the problem by restoring my system to a backup of yesterday using timeshift. I followed this tutorial to log in console: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/01/how-to-boot-to-console-text-mode-in.html

If you use timeshift then: sudo -E timeshift --list sudo -E timeshift --restore --snapshot <snapshot-name-from-list>

Today I have tried again to update and the same behavior happened. When I enter my password on login screen I get a black screen with a _blinking at the top left corner and then return to login screen. Here's the list of updates I have made:

Which of these are suspects of this behavior? I can test them.

[kRHYME7]

try running Hyprland first in the tty also please provide output for Hyprdots systeminfo

A photo would be okay

[brmoretti]

[kRHYME7]

alright

` yay -Sy hyprland hyprlang

if using the -git then both should have -git

[brmoretti]

since I use hyprland-git and hyprlang (without -git) I did -git in both: yay -Sy hyprland-git hyprlang-git

result:

:: hyprlang-git-0.5.0.r1.a2f3942-1 and hyprlang-0.4.1-1 are in conflict. Remove hyprlang? [y/N] y

[kRHYME7]

Include the portal

yay -Sy hyprland-git hyprlang-git xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git

Keep in mind that these 3 packages needs to have the same shared object, so if you want to use -git you need to be aware of the dependencies.

[brmoretti]

It worked. Thanks a lot... I just added hyprcursor-git so: yay -Sy hyprland-git hyprlang-git xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git hyprcursor-git

[abenezerw]

@h4ckj0urn3y would you mind closing this out if it worked.

[brmoretti]

I can't close. The issue was created by @h4ckj0urn3y
