Hi, I have recently dualbooted my laptop so im still very much a linux noob and I installed VSCode with the ubuntu software app. When I try to open VSCode nothing happens, and if I use the code command I get the following error:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libinput-config.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (failed to map segment from shared object): ignored.

/snap/code/136/usr/share/code/bin/../code: /snap/core20/current/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libinput-config.so)

Can someone please help me? I googled it but I can't find a solution. Thanks in advance

Edit:

Fixed it by using sudo vim on the /etc/ld.so.preload file and deleting the line /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libinput-config.so.

I installed gcc-objc and it seems upgrade the glibc version on my system. I used command: yay -S gcc-objc

Here is the log from /var/log/pacman.log

How do I solve this issue.. thanks

Hello, So the other day I was trying to get surf browser to work, but i couldnt since there was some glibc dependency issues. Basically glibc2.35 was needed and i had glibc2.33 on my system.

Despite the fact the arch wiki proposes to do systemwide updates rather than updating single packages, i went on and updated glibc just for this time. Of course that didnt solve the issue with surf since i was getting an error about some missing symbols(sorry i cant be too specific. I didnt payed much attention to it). Also glibc update, broke Microsoft teams. So I downgraded it to version 2.33 and moved on with my life completely forgetting about it.

Yesterday, i decided to update the system. Glibc was ignored and almost E V E R Y T H I N G broke. Luckily an emacs instance was running and it still is so i went on and removed IgnorePkg=glibc from /etc/pscman.comf and run pacman -syu(from eshell, since nothing else was working) hoping that this would fix every thing. But now during the update, im getting the following errors:

(3/3) checking keys in keyring

error: GPGME error: Invalid crypto engine

error: GPGME error: Invalid crypto engine

error: GPGME error: Invalid crypto engine

(3/3) checking package integrity

Interrupt signal received

After a while I paniced and interrupted the prosses...

So how do i proceed? I have backups, (i use timeshift) but i dont have any bootable stick atm. Also I have never restored the system before, and after a brief reserch i did online, I only found graphical ways of doing this. Is there any way to fix the issue without restoring the system, or without having to boot from a live usb?

Edit:

I updated the system using siglevel=never and everything updated without any errors! I was able to launch applications again and everything seemed to be fine. I tried to reboot the system and now the system seems completely broken. Basically i get this errors:

You are now being dropped into an emergency shell. sh: can't access tty: job control turned off [rootfs] #

Now Im completely lost. Can still i restore the system? Or reinstalling is the only option?

edit2: I eventually booted from an iso, mounted my system and used arch-chroot to run mkinitcpio -P .I was then able to boot!

I am now back in my system! As far as i can see everything seems to work, except for the icons, for some reason they are all messed up but i think i will be able to fix it
