Failed to start Load/Save random OS seed

[rey_one]

Hello there,

unfortunately, I managed to break my installation…

What I did:

I updated the prusaslicer package via Flatpak and the steam client at the same time. At least the Flatpak update didn’t finish successfully, and the computer completely froze during the process.

(I thought Flatpak and the steam client are somehow encapsulated, as no pacman/yay was involved.)

After a reboot, I got the following error messages:

I have an encrypted system with btrfs, but unfortunately, every old snapshot produces the same error message.

I can access my system using a live USB stick and arch-chroot.

But where/how should I begin fixing this error?

Thanks and happy holidays!

Ok so I had some time to dig further.

[root@EndeavourOS /]# df -h

There should be plenty space, but root is reported at 100% usage.

I tried to remove some files and a package:

[root@EndeavourOS /]# pacman -Rns digikam 

error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)

error: could not lock database: No space left on device

Unable to lock database could relate to a lockfile: but there is no /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

So I tried to create a simple file:

[root@EndeavourOS /]# touch test

touch: cannot touch 'test': No space left on device

btrfs usage shows there should be space:

[root@EndeavourOS /]# btrfs filesystem usage /

What am I missing?

Okay maybe the disk was indeed full, deleted an old Timeshift snapshot an got the system working again!
