It’s sudoed!
What about arch-chroot? Wouldn’t that work to reinstall the package?
Won’t that be using the “sudo” of the installed system?
If so, I don’t think it works then.
I’m just asking? You’re the expert!
Here’s the latest update:
I was able to use ‘su’ rather than ‘sudo’ to update mirrors and sudo pacman -Syu.
Then, I made my fatal mistake: I rebooted without updating grub and mkconfig, so now I have a non-booting system with a /vmlinuz failure. I’m downloading the latest liveboot iso. I’ll next try to chroot into the system and update grub and mkconfig to see if that lets me boot. If that’s the wrong path to fix the vmlinuz issue, please tell me before I mess something else up! ![]()
Won’t harm doing a
pacman -Syu
mkinitcpio -P
as well in chroot before
grub-install
and
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
This is what i was getting at.
@bkaplan are you using paru? Just reinstall to rebuild.
Yes, I get it. But the issue there is with:
node: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
notsudo as it was here.
But if you read through it say’s that. Using su etc…
paru
paru: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is the endeavouros paru - it needs to be rebuilt.
2 archlinuxcn/paru 1.11.1-3 (2.3 MiB 7.2 MiB) (Installed)
Feature packed AUR helper
1 endeavouros/paru 1.11.1-1 (2.3 MiB 7.2 MiB) (Installed: 1.11.1-3)
Feature packed AUR helper
Archlinuxcn have rebuilt and it works fine.
Not using paru, only pacman and yay.
You are right!
That’s what @bkaplan did as well.
I didn’t think of it. Also that it supposes you have a root account enabled.
Yes, but I didn’t realize that the aborted first update at the top of the thread left my system in a partial update state (it didn’t finish updating grub and kernel configs), so that’s where I seem to have borked it. Argghhh.
What are the state of the affairs now?
Yes this is exactly what happens to a lot of users when they get an update error and they end up with a partial update.
Just finished d/l live iso from another system and getting ready to dd to usb. Following that, will try to chroot into the broken system and follow your above commands. Will report back here with results/ more questions ![]()
Well this did help someone else.
Each of us is someone else’s ‘else’, ain’t it?
