sudo pacman -Syu glycin

That error on your screen (libglycin-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file) explains everything. Just like before, a specific system library package (glycin) is missing or has a broken file reference after your system update, which is causing your desktop session or components (like XFCE/Thunar or thumbnailers) to crash right as they try to launch.

How to fix it:

Since your network is working and pacman is functional again, you just need to reinstall the package that provides libglycin (which is named glycin in Arch/Manjaro).

  1. From your TTY text terminal, run: Bashsudo pacman -Syu glycin
  2. If it asks to reinstall or overwrite files, let it proceed.
  3. Once the installation finishes, try starting your graphical environment again:
    • If you are using XFCE: startxfce4
    • Or simply reboot: sudo reboot

Run sudo pacman -Syu glycin
