All of them uses Xorg, are you sure already install wayland?

Never use -Sy. Either use -S or -Syu, but not -Sy

ok sir,im setting it up for doing some laravel project

enter

my ques is why didn’t only -S worked? isn’t it just an installation of an app?

i was showing that i started upgrade myself, not that i have any problems with it

only -S checks for your locally cached repos and installs the package given its name from local repos. local repos can be outdated, and you can have old package version in local repos while this file does not exist elsewhere – that’s precisely what happened.

i have an automated -Sy running in the background 😵‍💫🥴🙈

Perhaps you shouldn’t

I’m checking how many updates are there already

to do

Am sure there’s a better way than that.
Though knowing there’s an update isn’t really helpful on Arch

Stop telling people to run pacman -Sy

ok

indeed, there is a spesific method in wiki which involve building another db.
and it is a cosmetic, and a risk I take

pacman-contrib comes with the checkupdates command. Use that.

yes I have those

Ok. Then do you have any good reason to run pacman -Sy automatically in the background?

none 🙈

I thought so too

He has one reason: try to break his arch installation

Could be

actually, i was curious with this warning about running -Sy, whats the fuzz about it

Partial upgrades

i wanted to know deeper

It doesn’t go any deeper than that

Don’t run -Sy unless you want partial upgrades

Ok so I tried setting up Wayland with arch. I installed everything basic and got a working terminal session

But as soon as I try to start any compositor, the system just hangs

Can’t even switch to another terminal session

did you use DM ?

Yep. Tried sddm, ldm and greetd

all of them uses Xorg, are you sure already install wayland?

Yep

Wayland is installed
