Up to date Linux Kernel After grub i get a black screen with a single underline in the top left corner and it stays this way until i force-shutdown via pressing the powerbutton. When I do so it says “failed to wait for network to be configured” for a second. As I usually use wifi I connected my laptop to LAN with no result whatsoever. I really need help, this has also happened at my last install at the second reboot, so I made another one 3 days ago. I’ve seen posts of others having this problem at shutdown and it was systemd-networkd.service but I can’t even access anything except grub. Thank you for your help, I am really despaired and I need my system. Can boot into tty, can install updates ---

if you can login on tty2 you can plug lan cable and update system again first, may nvidia drivers are not even with kernel. `sudo pacman -Syyu` ---
