Arch - Blank/black screen with only a mouse pointer & no signal to external monitors
I've been using version 1.2.65 of DVM on my Arch installation successfully for about 2 weeks now. Either yesterday or the day before that did something happen causing me to only see a blank/black screen with a mouse pointer. I did update some packages both days which I now know is the reason for all of this.
Now, I do not know if you are aware of how one would setup DVM using Arch so I will briefly write the steps I took when I first started using it.
The currently installed packages on my system in a working case can be found in the file called "pacman.txt" in the attached zip file. The other compressed file shows what packages have been downgraded to make DVM work as expected again. But I will also list that log file directly here so it can be reviewed more easily: Code:

[Y/n] ... :: Running post-transaction hooks... (1/3) Updating icon theme caches... (2/3) Updating the info directory file... (3/3) Updating the desktop file MIME type cache... In any case, one of the packages listed in the CODE section above must be the cause for all of this. I will try to see if I can find out which one exactly. Also, I can try to attach debug logs if I can make the debug tool work on Arch. Last edited by herrP; 01-20-2017 at 01:43 PM. |

I forgot to mention that when I had upgraded the packages shown above and rebooted then
Code:
xrandr --listproviders |

Ok, so I installed each package above one by one and rebooted after each. It still works after installing all of them. Not sure why I had issues in the first place.
