Salient OS - Manual Intervention Required
Channel: Silent
Date: 2020-02-18

This short video explains the steps required to get back to a working system if you are having issues with updating. Since the latest build of Salient OS changes have been made to the arch base which require manual intervention from you, the end user as outlined here: https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-cleanup-requires-manual-intervention/

So, from the terminal issue the following in order:

pacman -Rdd libdmx libxxf86dga libxxf86misc && pacman -Syu

pacupd

pacupg

This should hopefully bring you back to a working installation.

The next release won't have this issue as it has been addressed.
