Latest update Nvidia bug?

Hmm, this update seems to have broken my install in a way. GDM loads but starting a DE fails, returning it back to GDM. I think it has something to do with Nvidia? Checked the logs and I see a lot of

Gnome-session-c trap int3 ...
Gnome-session-b trap int ...
Invalid ELD data byte
Freed GPU:0
Allocated GPU:0

Things I've tried

  • Reinstalling nvidia drivers (did not work)
  • Booting to budgie (same errors)
  • Falling back to nouveau (did not work)

Things I guess I've ruled out

  • Not nvidia (can't change the title now I guess)

I suspect it's gnome

Here are some log snippets

[   17.899367] traps: gnome-session-c[965] trap int3 ip:7ff232695411 sp:7ffcf6be2360 error:0
[   18.145462] traps: gnome-session-c[976] trap int3 ip:7fe8866ca411 sp:7ffc9f74df60 error:0
[   18.364326] traps: gnome-session-f[984] trap int3 ip:7f25ce83d411 sp:7ffe81d3ee50 error:0

Edited: Fixed formatting and added updates

Edit 2:

The culprit was Plotinus. Removing it fixed the issue.

It's a bit of a worry when a single 3rd party program can break the system. Nvidia is a bit flaky on manjaro for some reason though.

I mean it's a GTK module and a lot of things use GTK...

I'd the same problem. After a fresh 17.0.2's installation, my Manjaro breaks up after a pacman -Syyu. I've installed again with free softwares, without nvidia.

I had to install xfce to see if gtk3 was the problem, I hope this can help.
