[solved] laggy X Core Font rendering after today's updates

I've got an interesting issue after applying today's updates of kernel, X server, and nouveau, and I'd like some of you to try reproducing it, in the hope that it will help me figure out which component is causing it. Rendering of X Core Fonts, AKA XLFD (non-Freetype fonts) is laggy. When some text in such a font should be drawn, space is made to display it, but the text doesn't appear until I push a key or wiggle the mouse.
Please try this experiment: Open a terminal (urxvt or plain xterm will do) using an old-school "fixed" font. I used 7x14 for my testing. Run "sleep 1" in this terminal and don't touch anything after hitting enter. If you find that most of the time, the prompt doesn't come back when sleep exits until you use the keyboard or mouse, you've duplicated the issue. It's also fairly easy to notice just by typing normally in such a terminal as the input echoes back rather slowly. It feels as it server-side font rendering is hung up by the server waiting on an event that really shouldn't be involved with fonts.
I'm running nouveau on a GT9400, and applied these updates tonight:
[2011-01-30 18:59] upgraded kernel26 (2.6.36.3-2 -> 2.6.37-5)
[2011-01-30 18:59] upgraded libdrm (2.4.22-3 -> 2.4.23-1)
[2011-01-30 18:59] upgraded libgl (7.9.0.git20101207-2 -> 7.10-1)
[2011-01-30 18:59] upgraded libva (1.0.6-1 -> 1.0.8-1)
[2011-01-30 18:59] upgraded mesa (7.9.0.git20101207-2 -> 7.10-1)
[2011-01-30 18:59] upgraded xf86-video-nouveau (0.0.16_git20100819-2 -> 0.0.16_git20101217-1)
[2011-01-30 18:59] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.9.2-2 -> 1.9.3.901-1)
[2011-01-30 18:59] upgraded xorg-server (1.9.2-2 -> 1.9.3.901-1)
I'd be especially interested if it's broken for anyone not running nouveau, or who didn't update all of these components. Once I narrow it down a bit, I'll open a bug (either here, or upstream somewhere). It's easy to work around, by just using a TrueType font in my terminals instead, but still worth a bit of investigation.

I had this trouble when I upgraded to
xf86-video-nouveau-git (20110206-1)
and had to upgrade to
libdrm (2.4.23-1)
Fixed by rolling back to
xf86-video-nouveau (0.0.16_git20100819-1)
libdrm (2.4.21-1)
I'm running the very latest Nouveau git kernel modules, but going back several versions made no difference.
[edit: bug filed upstream]

Xfce shortcut problems after today's updates

Xfce shortcuts defined in keyboard settings doesn't work at all, even the default ones like alt+f2. They were still working in the morning, but they stopped after today's updates. I think it has something to do with kbd package, but I can't honestly say.
Anyone experiencing something similar?

Most probably you need to logof, go into the console and wipe anything related to xfce on your home folder and start xfce again. Its a pain to get everything as you want again but at least you avoid problems like the one you have now.
You may also see a problem with the icons, just pull tango-icon-theme and all will be well.

Pygame error after today's update

Solarwolf, a pygame game is not working after today's update.
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault

I have no idea what is causing the error. I tried reinstalling pygame and the sdl libraries. But that did not help.

The self test of pygame
python -m pygame.tests.__main__
fails with several errors.
Also, I am not able to run some of the examples that come with pygame: a data/ folder seems to be missing in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/ .

After today's updates, user/library has gone hidden as a system folder...huh?

After today's updates, user/library folder has gone hidden as a system folder...is that normal? Tried repairing permissions, but still is hidden. Should I worry? thx!

If you can't cope with the Option+Go method or need the Library during more complex operations, you can enter the following command into Terminal:
chflags nohidden ~/Library

Wireshark crashing after today's update

Hi,
I've noticed that after today's update, wireshark is crashing on both of my systems, even with python (new dependency) installed.
I didn't received any error informations from command lines, so if you have any ideas...

IMac looks like this after todays Yosemite Update

My iMac now looks like this after todays Yosemite Update. Is this iOS or Hardware issues ?

Well I managed to get the Snow Leopard disk out and restarted the mac using OS X Recovery. I've selected the option to reinstall OS X. I'm at a screen that is asking me to 'Select the disk where you want to install OS X'. I'm presented two options one labeled 'EFI' and the other 'Recovery HD'. I chose the later but it's been sitting on a spinning beach ball for 30 minutes now so I can't select 'Install' to proceed. Any idea what has happened to my mac? A hard drive failure I assume or something else?

[SOLVED] Bad font rendering after last update (pango issue?)

I am getting very strange font rendering problem. Look at the screen below. It only affects gtk windows (as you can see below HTML text is currently displayed, but url bar and context menu is not). I belive it appeared after upgrading pango package to 1.32, but downgrading it as instructed here (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151886), didn't help. Does anybody know what can it be? Any hints where to look for the solution?

[SOLVED]A nice sharp font renderer (not as sharp as windows)

Is there another font renderer out there? I tried freetype the default and that gives me blurry edges. Infinality is not better in my opinion. Same blurry edges too many configurations. Are there any other renderers out there?

# Should the below Xft settings be set globally by this script? (true/false)
SET_XFT_SETTINGS=true
# XFT settings are like a red-headed stepchild that should be beaten severely.
# These only affect legacy programs, and *parts* of some modern programs like
# google-chrome. We only deal with these settings because we have to, otherwise
# crap will slip by. I recommend using hintslight and autohint as the defaults
# normally in local.conf. The reason hintfull and autohint:0 is needed here
# because otherwise some programs will occassionally request slight hinting for
# a truetype font. When a program does this, Freetype automatically uses the
# autohinter, when you may actually want it to be rendered with the TT hinter,
# (if specified in local.conf). So setting this to hintfull guarantees that the
# TT font will be rendered with the TT hinter (assuming it is specified in
# /etc/fonts/local.conf to be rendered that way.) For TT fonts that you want
# rendered with autohint, specifiying that in the /etc/fonts/local.conf
# should be enough. But you might think that by setting this to hintfull
# that it's going to use Freetype's full autohinting (which we *completely*
# avoid) for fonts you want autohinted. This is where
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOFIT_FORCE_SLIGHT_HINTING comes in. It tells freetype to
# use slight hinting on fonts set for autohinting, even if the program requests
# full autohinting. Freetype's full hinting only looks OK under certain
# circumstances. The goal of infinality is to make infinality hinting look
# good all the time.

# INFINALITY_FT_FILTER_PARAMS
# This is a modified version of the patch here:
# http://levelsofdetail.kendeeter.com/2008/12/dynamic_fir_filter_patch.html
# Allows you to adjust the FIR filter at runtime instead of at
# compile time. The idea is to have values add up to 100, and be
# symmetrical around the middle value. If the values add up to
# more than 100, the glyphs will appear darker. If less than 100,
# lighter. I recommend using this method to make glyphs darker
# or lighter globally as opposed to using the gamma option (see note in
# the gamma option).
# Here are some samples of various filter parameters:
# (this has been changed to use integers between 0 and 100 to
# avoid problems with regional differences like comma for decimal point)
# Strong Extra Smooth "15 20 30 20 15" (extra smooth, natural weight)
# Extra Smooth "20 20 30 20 20" (extra smooth, extra weight)
# Smooth "15 20 32 20 15" (smooth, natural weight)
# Stronger Gibson "11 22 38 22 11" (smooth, extra weight)
# Gibson "11 22 33 22 11" (smooth, natural weight)
# Freetype Light "00 33 34 33 00" (sharp, natural weight) # freetype's "light" LCD filter
# Freetype Default "06 25 44 25 06" (sharp, extra weight) # freetype's default
# Extra Sharp "00 35 35 35 00" (extra sharp, extra weight) # freetype's "light" LCD filter on acid
# Windows uses something more sharp, maybe along the lines of Freetype's default

# Possible values:

# It gives glyphs a more "grainy" look through some gamma

# may be a feature or a bug depending on your taste ;)
# Possible values:
# 0 through 100 - think of as percentage of strength
# 0 corresponds to no sharpening whatsoever. In other words, OFF.
# 25 is good for a subtle effect.
# 50 corresponds to the default ChromeOS value.
# 100 corresponds to maximum sharpening. This usually results in
# something undesirable looking.
# As you increase this amount, it is good to decrease the gamma (2nd value)
# of INFINALITY_FT_PSEUDO_GAMMA, and possibly increase
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_FITTING_STRENGTH and
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_ALIGNMENT_STRENGTH, as it seems like the algorithm
# lightens stems that aren't fully on-pixel.

# Recommended: If you're going to use this filter - 50
export INFINALITY_FT_CHROMEOS_STYLE_SHARPENING_STRENGTH=0
# INFINALITY_FT_WINDOWS_STYLE_SHARPENING_STRENGTH
# This enables an algorithm developed with the intention to sharpen
# fonts to look similarly to Windows.
# It gives glyphs a more "grainy" look, like the ChromeOS filter
# except it does so more selectively. This prevents the thinning
# of vertical stems that is noticible when a blanket gamma filter
# like the ChromeOS filter is applied.
# I also get a "cleaner" impression from the fonts with this Windows
# style filter. This filter was done by 100% experimentation,
# and there things that could probably be improved.
# Some may argue that I shouldn't be trying to take the shortcomings
# of the MS approach and bring them here. I disagree, as part
# of freedom is having the right to make your fonts look as
# shitty as you'd like.
# Using this filter does somewhat lessen the need to use stem
# fitting and stem alignment, as glyphs appear sharper.
# This setting can be used at the same time as the previous chromeOS
# sharpening, and happens after it in the code.
# Possible values:
# 0 through 100 - think of as percentage of strength
# 0 corresponds to no sharpening whatsoever. In other words, OFF.
# 10-25 is good for a subtle effect while not completely decimating glyphs.
# 50-75 corresponds to probably something in the range that Windows uses.
# 100 corresponds to maximum sharpening.
# Using a high value for this variable along with enabling the
# fringe filter (below) almost eliminates the need
# for INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT to be set to 100,
# and can instead be set at 0. (Setting
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT to 0 prevents missing

# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT

# that you will get a semi-dark fringe on these stems, above or
# below the black line of pixels:
# (- represents the semi-dark pixels)
# Setting this to 100 will force integer pixel heights. Setting it to

# less than 1 pixel, in order to prevent the vanishing stem issues on
# letters with diagonal stems like a and s.
# Under most circumstances, this should be set at 100. If you choose to

# INFINALITY_FT_GAMMA_CORRECTION
# This does a weighted gamma correction at the LCD filter phase
# PRIOR to the LCD filter. Unfortunately it does not however
# take into account the color on which the glyph is being rendered
# (or for that matter the color of the glyph),
# which would need to happen in X rendering. It is actually
# using the gamma function in calculations though.
# The first value indicates a px value, the second indicates a
# "gamma" value. All sizes less than the px value will be corrected
# on a weighted scale based on the second value.
# The gamma value is commonly between 0.0 and 3.0. Due to localization
# issues, the gamma value should be specified as it's actual value
# multiplied by 100. So a gamma of 1.3 would be 130. In practice,
# I'd stay between 40 and 250.
# Values 1 through 100 will darken the glyph
# Values greater than 100 will lighten the glyph
# Example 1: Darken glyphs that are less than 10 px. With some fonts
# even 5 or 6px is readable!
# export INFINALITY_FT_GAMMA_CORRECTION="10 60"
# Example 2: Lighten all glyphs (below 100px)

# This filter adjusts brightness, using the standard algorithm

# For a Windows XP look, set brightness to something and contrast to 50
# This will also tend to increase its sharpness.
# These values are relative and don't really mean anything
# however they are satisfactory for a range of appearances.
# Another tip is to use a gamma setting of "1000 110" or something
# over 100 to lighten things before processing.

# INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH
# This filter adjusts subpixel-rendered glyphs toward grayscale.
# Sometimes this is useful in getting a rendering more like
# OSX.
# Range: Integers 0 through 100
# 0 represents no filtering
# 50 represents halfway between subpixel and grayscale

# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH="33"
export INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH="0"
# INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH
# This filter tries to remove the horizontal fringing that is found on
# default autohinted glyphs (similar to OSX-rendered glyphs).
# For example, an E may be rendered so that the middle horizontal
# stem is 100% black, but also has a horizonal row of pixels above
# it that is at 50% intensity. This makes the glyph look dirty,
# however it is technically accurate.
# This would be useful in cases where you have
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT set to something less than 100
# but also can affect glyphs at 100, to some degree.
# Unless fonts are showing fringes in a way that annoys you, I recommend
# keeping it disabled, as it can slightly interfere with smooth appearance
# sometimes.
# Range: Integers 0 through 100
# 0 represents no filtering
# 50 represents a 50% reduction of detected fringes
# 100 represents completely removing detected fringes
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended, if you want to use it: 100
# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH="100"
export INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH="0"
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH
# This post-filter darkens horizontal stems that autohint renders as semi-dark.
# Freetype will by default not force stems to render to pixel boundaries
# because it results in "vanishing stems". This happens on things like
# s S a and other glyphs with center diagonal stems.
# If you have INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT set to 100,
# you're telling it to force pixel boundaries, which can result in the
# vanishing stems. To get around this problem, I internally override the
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT setting if the stem width
# is less than a full pixel, regardless. This causes semi-dark stems, but
# at least there are stems there.
# This filter is intended to darken those semi-dark stems. I highly
# recommend using this, but setting to a low value like 10, because
# it is particularly sensitive right now, and can make thin fonts
# look weird otherwise.
# Range: Integers 0 through 100
# 0 represents no darkening
# 50 represents a 50% increase toward 1 pixel in height
# 100 represents a full pixel of height
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended, if you want to use it: 10
# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="10"
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="10"
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH
# This post-filter darkens vertical stems less than 1 pixel that autohint
# renders as semi-dark. This applies mostly to thin fonts like
# Courier New, Raleway, and fonts with the word "Light" in the title or
# style. Although what autohint is doing is technically correct, it
# results in a bad looking rendering because it's too light, at small
# ppems. This filter tries to correct that.
# There is an aspect of this that is automatic, so it's safer to use
# larger values for this than the above horizontal ENV_VAR. However
# setting this higher has more impact on thinner fonts. So, I still
# recommend lower values.
# Range: Integers 0 through 100
# 0 represents no darkening
# 50 represents a 50% increase (from current strength) toward 1 pixel
# 100 represents a full pixel of width
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended, if you want to use it: 25
# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="25"
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="25"
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_INCREASE_GLYPH_HEIGHTS
# This will slightly stretch some glyphs vertically between 9px
# and 14px (inclusive). Some people may find this more
# aesthetically pleasing. This only applies to fonts that are
# using autohint. I used to recommend this to be set true, but
# it does mess with some (less popular) glyphs in a nasty way.
# The goal here is to increase the height of some fonts by 1 px
# but leave the x-height where it is. Arial is a good example
# of this working properly. Compare the heights of Arial, Times
# and Freesans with this on, vs. TT hinted versions of Arial and
# Times.
# Possible values:
# true - enable height adjustment
# false - do not enable height adjustment
# Default: false

########################### EXAMPLES ############################
# Set the USE_STYLE variable below to try each example.
# Make sure to set your style in /etc/fonts/local.conf too.
# Possible options:
# DEFAULT - Use above settings. A compromise that should please most people.
# OSX - Simulate OSX rendering
# UBUNTU - Simulate UBUNTU rendering
# LINUX - Generic "Linux" style - no snapping or certain other tweaks
# WINDOWS - Simulate Windows rendering
# WINDOWS7 - Simulate Windows rendering with normal glyphs
# WINDOWS7LIGHT- Simulate Windows 7 rendering with lighter glyphs
# WINDOWS - Simulate Windows rendering
# VANILLA - Just subpixel hinting
# CUSTOM - Your own choice. See below
# ----- Infinality styles -----
# CLASSIC - Infinality rendering circa 2010. No snapping.
# NUDGE - CLASSIC with lightly stem snapping and tweaks
# PUSH - CLASSIC with medium stem snapping and tweaks
# SHOVE - Full stem snapping and tweaks without sharpening
# SHARPENED - Full stem snapping, tweaks, and Windows-style sharpening
# INFINALITY - Settings I use
# DISABLED - Act as though running without the extra infinality enhancements (just subpixel hinting).

I tried every conf.d symlink in the /etc/fonts/infinality/styles.conf.avail folder. I just can't get the fonts to be sharp with nice uniform smoothness. They look garbled.
I just tried the ubuntu freetype and it looks worse.

Matlab font issues after installing Java Update 2

Hey everyone,
I am a scientist and I use the program Matlab to prepare plots for papers, presentations, etc. I am already a little annoyed that when running matlab on mac there are issues of text content cut off in the figures. More importantly after the java update 2 the matlab font looks HUGE. If you change the font setting, it will look normal, but sometimes shift the text. Does anyone know how to fix this? Matlab provided a fix for the R2008 version, but nothing for the R2007 version. This program is so important to me and my work, I may have to move back to Microsoft or Linux in order to have MatLab produce the plots I need.
Please let me know if there is an efficient way to fix this problem.
Thanks,
Casey

Hi clamarche,
I have the same problem on my dual quad-core MacPro after updating Java to Java Update 3. All of my font settings were reset. However when I change the font from 12 pt to say 10pt the cursor moves as if the 12 pt font is still used so it does not line up with any characters once a few characters into the line.
I have tried removing all of my preferences and global matlab preferences, but no luck. I have not applied the Java Update 3 to my 17" MacBookPro as to avoid this problem. What version of Matlab are you using? I have R2007b.
As for text being cut-off from your plots, I have found a small but important note to do with the '-r' option for the print command. On the Mac OS X platform, for some unknown reason you should always set the resolution to '-r72'. This has fixed the problem for me. I had the same problem when saving figures as png's that were to be used later to make an animation. All of the scaling was funny until I set the resolution to 72.
I am hoping that I can find as solution. Maybe clearing the Java preferences, where ever they may be.
Regards ...

Blank Screen After Today's Updates

I was thrilled to see the new kernel and intel drivers show up in today's updates, but after rebooting, I have a blank screen on my E6410 laptop, which has Intel graphics. The Dell logo comes up, then the Grub menu, and then the screen goes blank. It was working perfectly fine before the update. Did anyone else run across this?

Same problem here. How do you downgrade anything or change any settings when the screen just goes blank right at the start?
edit: I'll share some more for good measure. I'm on an nvidia gfx so it shouldn't be Intel-related. The system actually seems to be booting since I can log in and sudo reboot in the dark to prompt a reboot, which means I could technically try and fix this without seeing any output. That just seems dumb, though.
edit2: Removing vga=773 from the kernel line at boot at least restores cli visibility. startx returns "no screens found" so I'll try a downgrade.
edit3: Downgrading to 2.35, along with downgrading nvidia & nvidia-utils to 256-something as well as ndiswrapper and tiacx finally got me back to where I need to be with X working fine.

Pages having Korean font issues after iOS 7 update.

iWork on my ipad and iphone cannot handle Korean font after iOS 7 update. It displays Korean correctly in those documents I created before the recent iOS 7 update, but breaks down as soon as I try to edit them. Anyone has the same problem with international fonts? Is there anyway to fix the problem? Is it an iWork issue or the iOS 7 issue? It certainly does not look like a hardware issue, because other apps work fine indeed.

You should report this to Apple (as others have):

Update all button not working after today's update

After today's iTunes update, the button to update all available app updates no longer works despite multiple clicks. Now each app can only be updated by accepting one at a time. If there are only one or two apps it is not too bad, but I had 15 today!

if you have ONE app that is no longer available or has a problem with it (access, country/location, etc.) then the whole batch will fail. *****, because you can't tell which app until you go through all of them one by one. update often

Fonts Perfect After Todays Update!!

Just wanted to say thanks to whoever fixed the font issues!
I have been really struggling to get my fonts looking good again after the fontconfig 2.10.1 update. I finally got them to be livable after getting the proper symlinks in place (and my local.conf in place), but they were not quite as good as before. Then today I went and updated my system and they look fabulous again!
FYI, this is what my configuration looks like. I use the standard fontconfig packages (non-patched).

Now it doesn't freeze anymore. I really don't know what the heck is going on on my machine.
Next time that the machine freezes I'll try to ssh to it. Thank you for pointing this out.

[SOLVED] Graphical environment won't boot up after today's update.

Hi
I've performed a -Syu today morning and so far I haven't been able to get my graphical environment (gnome 3) up.
The update didn't seem to be faulty, no unusual messages caught my eye. Here's a complete list of packages that were upgraded (from pacman.log)
- shared-color-profiles removed
- upgraded colord (1.0.6-1 -> 1.2.0-1)
- upgraded gtk3 (3.12.1-1 -> 3.12.1-2)
- upgraded colord-gtk (0.1.25-1 -> 0.1.25-2)
- upgraded cronie (1.4.11-1 -> 1.4.11-2)
- upgraded elfutils (0.158-1 -> 0.158-2)
During the next bootup, when the information 'reached target graphical interface' appeared, I got some screen blinking and this:
"[drm:hsw_unclaimed_reg_clear] *ERROR* Unknown unclaimed register before writing to 4a000
This error message and the blinking appears about 8 times, then the process just hangs.
I have tried downgrading each of the aforementioned packages, but it didn't help. There's a bunch of diagnostic stuff coming out of pacman on every operation though:
http://ix.io/bZg
The first kind of error message, by the glib-2.0 files is Polish for 'file is empty or only contains spaces'; the other kind, by the ldconfig lines, means 'file empty, left unchecked'.
For good measure, here's my entire dmesg output. It seems to contain a bit more information about the unclaimed register error at the end.

Please assist me in getting this fixed.

No, I don't have nouveau-dri installed. It might be the kernel driver. Messages from 'nouveau' have been appearing ever since I've installed the system actually, and I've learned to ignore them, but they did initially make me raise an eyebrow. Anyway, everything was fine and dandy for about 4 months now, until this morning's update, when the packages mentioned in my initial post were installed.
As for the second matter, see my initial post:
The first kind of error message, by the glib-2.0 files is Polish for 'file is empty or only contains spaces'; the other kind, by the ldconfig lines, means 'file empty, left unchecked'.
The one you're asking about is the second ('file is empty, it has not been checked')
I'm now in the process of locating and reinstalling the packages to which these files belong. I've already handled the QT libs (I think) and I'm going to try to handle the others:
all in the lib32 folder:
- libelf.so and .so.1 and -0.158.so
- libdw.so and .so.1 and -0.158.so
- libasm.so and .so.1 and -0.158.so
- liblcms2.so and .so.2 and .so.2.0.6
I have no knowledge of how these affect the bootup of Gnome however...
edit:
I have successfully reinstalled the following packages:
lib32-lcms2
lib32-elfutils
lib32-qt4
rebooting...
...and still just a mouse cursor over the bootup log...
The last line of dmsg says:
systemd-journald[204] Failed to write entry (26 items, 170304121 bytes) despite vacuuming, ignoring: Argument list too long
is there a way to get a hold of what can't be written in there? I don't know where else to look for information on what's wrong.
There's also this in the journalctl (both the last one and the previous one I pasted). The problem _is_ Gnome rendering nothing but a cursor, so perhaps this could be of use...
kwi 29 19:59:18 wapiti gnome-session[465]: (gnome-shell:500): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchscreen' is not installed
kwi 29 19:59:18 wapiti kernel: traps: gnome-shell[500] trap int3 ip:7fb603707993 sp:7fff2a1a55f0 error:0
I have pursued that trail. Indeed, it turned out that my gnome-settings-manager package was completely broken. Its configuration files were empty (the ones in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas), as was /var/lib/pacman/local/gnome-settings-daemon-3.12.1-2/files file.
I have performed a pacman -S --force gnome-settings-daemon and I'm no longer writing from my girlfriend's PC
I have a follow-up question to the more knowledgable - how and why can a package become corrupted like this??
My Gnome booted up, however it works pretty damn choppy. It's as fast as normal, but there are no animations. Also, there are frequent glitches before a window is rendered. Part of the screen becomes all scrambled for a moment before the window appears.
I'll try to look for reasons on my own, but I'd still appreciate advice on debugging my glitchy Gnome and explanations as to why gnome-settings-daemon had basically wiped itself out...
Ok, on a final note in this topic: the glitches were fixed by force reinstalling xf86-video-intel and intel-dri.
