I can confirm the same, after today’s python update no KODI plugins work.
Reverting back to previous snapper snapshot.

This is a problematic update.

3

There’s nothing python there. I didn’t have any updates to python packages either. Can you pinpoint which specific package update is causing breakage?

4

My fault, was on core/extra testing repo. Reverted and working again.

5

Can also confirm today’s update broke something. I had to do a snapper roll back as Xorg seemed to be borked … I use cinnamon for my DE, would boot up into graphical, enter password, background would show then it would go black with cursor but nothing on the screen otherwise.

Of note, I did try switching to cinnamon software rendering which worked, so not sure if it was the python updates or GPU. I’ll wait a few days before updating again as usually these things do tend to work themselves out :slight_smile:

I figured out how to fix this,
Make sure your pacman.conf has Extra and testing commented out, like this.

Navigate too >
/etc/pacman.conf

Inside the folder there is this area

cachyos repos

[cachyos-znver4]

Include = /etc/pacman.d/cachyos-v4-mirrorlist

[cachyos-core-znver4]

Include = /etc/pacman.d/cachyos-v4-mirrorlist

[cachyos-extra-znver4]

Include = /etc/pacman.d/cachyos-v4-mirrorlist

[cachyos]

The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the

repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately

after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Include = /etc/pacman.d/cachyos-mirrorlist

#[core-testing]

#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]

Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[extra-testing]

#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]

If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,

enable the multilib repositories as required here.

Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[multilib-testing]

#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]

Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Then run sudo pacman -Syuu

the extra the Command -Syuu will downgrade your packages back to the core and non test versions, it seems like there was a test pushed on some reps, that broken a bunch of python things, this will prevent future bricking.
