r3k2 commented 1 year ago

Writing this from my phone, my PC and Laptop are borked both running sway/wlroots for years, doing upgrades with no fuzz, until today, seems today release broke my both systems for what I can read now on screen: Failed to create //.cache shader cache Permission Denied -- Disabling (not sure if this is related) then a bit after: [wayland-client error] Attented to dispatch unknown opcode 0 for wl_shm, aborting [common/ipc-client.c:87] Unable to recieve IPC response

laptop is Intel/lenovo PC is AMD/Radeon

Go to another tty then downgrade sway (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/downgrading_packages). Then you should probably build sway 1.8 and run it manually from sway 1.7 to make your tests before upgrading it again.

update: in the case of my laptop it was wlgreet, booting from a external usb with arch and removing wlgreet and leeting the default greetd allowed me to enter the system finally, on my PC so far looks like a different issue but will double check as soon I finish with my laptop since I need it for work

dont you think I already try to change console before even the pain to login into github etc from my phone? :) ;) I ended up having to usb boot and mount my luks partitions to troubleshoot 🤦
