Yesterday I ran a yay -Suy
and everything updated nicely, it also sent a desktop notification that “a boot was recommended” but since I was in the middle of work I decided to reboot after finishing my shift. Today I found myself with a system that wont boot and it freezes right around the message “create volatile files and directories”, it is inconsistent when exactly it freezes but it’s always around there, sometimes it’s when it says starting sometimes it’s when it finishes and I had it one time while just mounting /boot.
- I’ve booted into a live usb and chrooted into my system and ran another update, hoping that there was some broken update and a fix was already pushed for it, didn’t do anything.
- chrooted again to add ibt=off and ran grub-mkconfig thinking it might be caused by this issue: Nvidia-inst make not boot my laptop - #12 by DawfukFR but had no luck, also trying to run
nvidia-inst
from chroot throws an error “2023-07-26 14:16:53: Error: This program must be started as a non-root user.”, usingsu
to run it as my user throws libkmod and systemd errors and wont run.
PS: I believe I also ran nvidia-inst early in that day because I was having issues with my resolutions and refresh rates, but then I restarted and it worked fine if that’s the case. I ran nvidia-inst very recently that’s for sure.
here is the output of inxi -F in case it’s needed, I don’t know what’s the deal with all of those "12"s, I suspect it’s a badly formatted color code, I can’t see any color in my end, I see those 12s too:
