@everyone concerned by lib32-libxcb 1.12 breaking teamviewer, here's the relevant bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49560
I already mentioned TeamViewer is concerned so there's no need to add "+1 teamviewer broken too" comments, but you might want to subscribe to the bug to be informed about an eventual fix so that you can remove the IgnorePkg when the problem gets fixed :)

@cryzed: thanks a lot :)))))
for everyone facing the same problem, downgrade the broken dependency by the steps mentioned below, and afterwards add the following to your /etc/pacman.conf
IgnorePkg = lib32-libxcb
so that it won't be upgraded with the next update..

Update of lib32-libxcb from verion 1.11.1-1 to 1.12-1 broke TeamViewer. The GUI no longer shows up. Downgrading the package fixes the issue.
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
sudo pacman -U lib32-libxcb-1.11.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

one more question:
is there a way to tell pacman to skip this package for future updates, e.g
pacman -Syu ?

thanks y'all

@micsnare: try to fetch from here https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/lib32-libxcb/

@micsnare: It's likely in /var/cache/pacman/pkg if you had it installed at some point. If not, you can also use downgrade (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade/) to fetch and install an older version of a package.
Please note that this is unsupported and might break some stuff in funny ways.

@abeltje:
just tried that, unfortunately pacman is unable to find that package :(

As mentioned in @seyn6gk's comment
Without changing anything, since teamviewer 13 a desktop environment/login with display manager like lightdm/sddm/gdm is required.
startxusers can follow workaround mentioned in @r7v s commentr7v commented on 2022-06-07 14:49 (UTC)
