After recent update my Mate desktop stopped working (appeared to load, mouse unresponsive, icon bar coming and going). I have attached a part of the journalctl -b output that was repeating over and over. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like a SSE2 problem. Are you on a CPU supporting SSE2 (cat /proc/cpuinfo), then I strongly suggest to switch to the pentium4 branch.

That should be mostly solved by pacman these days though, surely? Most packages have had an update by now I reckon, although not all, but I'd expect something like mate and all of its plugins to have been updated by now, so even if you didn't follow the instructions to reinstall everything it should be okay.
Architecture: pentium4, Testing repos: Yes, Hardware: EeePC 901+2GB RAM+OS half on the SD card.

on i686 I know for sure as librsvg2 has been rebuilt with rust-bin (see AUR), this is the repackaged binary blob from upstream, and that one produces
SSE2 opcodes when compiling rust code. For pentium4, sure, there should not be any difference.

Thanks for the quick replies. One of the flags shown from cpuinfo is sse but no sse2. Is this the same? I assumed since my processor is AMD the Pentium4 branch did not apply to me.

sse != sse2 - you are right to avoid pentium4 (it requires sse2) - see https://archlinux32.org/architecture/ - otoh this has nothing to do with intel vs. amd.

Then yes, librsvg2 needs a rebuild with a rust which doesn't produce SSE2 opcodes, the problem is currently rust refuses to rebuild
on i686, see https://bugs.archlinux32.org/index.php? … task_id=71
I'm currently testing on my Pentium3 without SSE2 and it shows problems in various places:
- firefox
- thunderbird
- librsvg2
- libbabl/libgegl (used by gimp)
Though the latest one could also pe micro-optimized in the package itself or SSE2 is produced
by the gcc/binutils toolchain.
Also Gnome has some many broken packages currently, that it's a major effort to even do a
rebuild on pentium4 or x86_64.

I managed to get LXDE working which is an adequate work-around for me.

Yes, sorry about Gnome, but it will re-emerge. Just needs some work.. :-)
