Are libinput EE messages preventing Xorg from starting?

Help
1

After I updated my channels, I’m unable to start Xorg.

I was able to start GNOME on XWayland, though, but I usually use XMonad on Xorg.

When I look at the log, I see a lot of EE on libinput. When there is an EE, does that mean a full crash for Xorg?

No, especially libinput stuff is usually red herrings.

ok, then I’m stuck again;)

Xorg is not starting and I really have no error message, then.

What happens is that I select xmonad and then click OK and SDDM just prompts. It seems like it’s loading, but then I’m just presented with SDDM again.

I did try a new kernel, using the one from Musnix, but still the same.

{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
  services.xserver.enable = true;
  
  services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.enable = false;
  services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
  services.xserver.displayManager.defaultSession = "none+xmonad";

  services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma5.enable = true;
  services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;
  
  services.xserver.windowManager.xmonad  = {
    enable = true;
    enableContribAndExtras = true;
    extraPackages = hp: [ hp.xmonad hp.xmonad-contrib hp.xmonad-extras ];
  };

  services.xserver.windowManager.xmonad.config = builtins.readFile /home/b0ef/.config/xmonad/xmonad.hs;
  
  services.xserver = {
    layout = "no";
    xkbVariant = "";
  };
}

Hmm, ok, seems there’s an XMonad problem.

BASHY $ xmonad --recompile
XMonad will use ghc to recompile, because neither "/home/b0ef/.config/xmonad/build" nor "/home/b0ef/.config/xmonad/stack.yaml" exists.
XMonad recompiling (forced).
xmonad: /home/b0ef/.local/share/xmonad/xmonad.errors: withFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

This is getting more insane. Somehow, I don’t have ghc, suddenly, anymore.

I tried to add it and I get

I guess I’ll start a new thread on each of these errors.

Thanks;)
