My login screen was like this after the update. What can be the problem?
After login, strange colors appear, i can't see anything.
please post your
garuda-inxi | tb
and
journalctl -r -n 500 | tb
these commands will paste your garuda-inxi and journalctl outputs to the termbin and provide you with a link that you can post here.
To execute these commands you can go to tty2 using ctrl+alt+F2
pressing the keys will throw you to tty2 which will ask you to enter your username and password. enter them. Your password won't be visible while typing.
to go back to tty1 or your graphical session use ctrl+alt+F1
We need some info to help you and these would be a start

do not update and post your garuda-inxi.
Do not post pictures without content, post just
"My login screen was broken after the update.".
Happy weekend all.

There is an issue with mesa 23.1.0-1 that is impacting certain AMD GPUs. If you have an AMD GPU that may be your problem.
SGS's suggestion of restoring a snapshot is your easiest fix. If you need the update, add IgnorePkg=mesa to /etc/pacman.conf and see if that helps. If you can wait I would just hold off on updating until next week, then try again.

Because I only use garuda os. I can't see its screen or any gui. That's why I can't post outputs here.
I only use garuda os. I can't see its screen or any gui. That's why I can't post outputs here. I had no idea what your problem was so I didn't know how to open the topic of the thread. I only have the opportunity to take pictures.
I dont have any working snapshot.
I am aware of all the rules, I know how to write. But there is nothing that can be done about the situation.
Thank you for your sensitivity and help.
Thanks and have a nice weekend.
Yes, i have amd gpu. I dont have any working snaphot but I will try to do "IgnorePkg=mesa to /etc/pacman.conf". If that's the problem, removing mesa related stuff might be a solution, how can I do it?
No one asked you to change your os though. We literally baby walked you through how to change your tty to generate the required outputs store them in termbin which will generate a small url which you can easily type from your phone and we can understand what's happening in the system.
There was no need to be so aggressive.
Though I guess if you think this is too much work you can simply reinstall your os be done with it.

Sorry for not explaining myself fully. I guess I made you think that I know all the easy stuff and not doing it to be aggressive here.
I know that. When I first opened the subject, I couldn’t provide my internet connection, so it was like my hands and feet were tied. I have solved that problem now, I will put the terminal output here as soon as possible.
No, thanks.
If I had to reinstall a system that was broken by an update, I would prefer windows os instead. But windows os is disgusting enough some reasons.
So I will try to fix the problem.
That’s nice to know. 
You can use
nmtui
To connect to the wifi from terminal.

IgnorePkg would only work to prevent upgrading it after having restored a snapshot.
You can try downgrading it though, look in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ and then sudo pacman -U the previous version. If that does not solve the problem, perhaps there is some other related package to downgrade too.

Thanks. I didn’t know this when the problem first occurred. I found nmtui from google last night, it’s a nice tool for terminal. I’ve never had to just use the terminal before. I’m learning slowly. I’ve been a little trouble for you too
Thanks, I’ll try that.
why not use downgrade instead?

Finally! My problem is solved. Actually, the problem was with the mesa package.
I downgraded version 23.1.0 to 23.0.3.
- I use
sudo downgrade mesa
and choose 23.0.3 version
Thats ok!
- Edited the pacman.conf
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
add
IgnorePkg = mesa
and saved it!
- I restarted the computer.
reboot
Yeah! Everything is working!

The issue is reported to be resolved with mesa-23.1.1-1. Go ahead and comment out the IgnorePkg= line in /etc/pacman.conf (or delete "mesa") and pull down the update if you want to give it a shot.
