Hi everyone, I use hyprland on archlinux and recently some of my software just dont even open anymore. I am not sure what kind of log i can provide but here is what i did: i do system update everyday, i also play a bit with Kodi and qt5 yesterday. I am not sure what is the issues right now but it seem to be a native package or dependencies issue because heroic Flatpak work fine(didnt try bitwarden or vscodium tho). Any help would mean a lot for me. Thanks!

The software that don’t work: vscodium-bin(AUR), Heroic-launcher-bin(AUR) and bitwarden-desktop(official repo) refuse to open at all. Steam(official repo) open and crash loop

Fix: use hyprctl setcursor theme size in my case i use bibata

    First thing to troubleshoot is to try to run the program from the terminal. Usually if it fails, the output can point you in the right direction. At the very least you can post the error on the arch Linux forums or elsewhere and hopefully get a helpful response.

        Interesting. I know little, but a segfault is indicative of a memory leak. Did you install these using an AUR helper like paru or yay?

    Do you have any .pacnew or .pacsave files? That can sometimes explain breakage, you should resolve them after every update.

    sudo find /etc -name '*.pacsave' -o -name '*.pacnew' | sort

    Do you have backups from before your last update? If so of start there. If not, try to uninstall and reinstall the AUR packages once at a time. You probably also have some kind of option to look for broke packages and repair them with your package manager. Another thing to try would be to open say vscodium from the cli and see if it outputs anything useful when the program fails.

    Edit: this isn’t an exhaustive list and I don’t use arch, but it’s what I would do if I were on a rolling distro.

    Edit 2: Here’s the commands for your package manager. Make a current state backup and then start looking for your problem. Section 7 to start with from the website.

      Thank you a lot for the advises, I dont have a backup(my btfs snapper is mess up cuz i never know who to do it properly. I start to regret now). Funny enough, there is literally no log from any software i tried. vscodium: none heroic launcher: Checking for beta autoupdate feature for deb/rpm distributions Found package-type: rpm [1] 26604 segmentation fault (core dumped) heroic steam: really weird log bitwarden: [1] 27089 segmentation fault (core dumped) bitwarden-desktop

      about pacman i checked dependencies and thing like that but sadly they seem to be normal
