Hi everyone,
About 15 mins ago I ran yay
and noticed several updates including but not limited to kernel & LTS kernel updates. I made a Timeshift backup and then re-ran yay
.
It usually goes well, but this time my entire computer is frozen at the “Running post-transaction hooks: (1/9) Reloading system manager configuration…” phase. Pointer is nowhere to be found, gestures are not working, but I can hear the fan spinning dynamically so I think it is not 100% frozen.
Anyway, here are the packages updated in that frozen batch:
gcc-libs, libelf, linux, acpi_call, binutils, mpfr, gcc, lib32-glibc, lib32-glibc-libs, libsysprof-capture, libtool, linux-headers, linux-lts, linux-lts-headers.
(Sorry for improper formatting, I am typing on mobile )
The only change I have recently made to the computer is replacing tlp
with power-profiles-daemon
, about 3 hours before running yay
. I have also rebooted my machine before the update.
I had been running from kernel version 6.1.6-arch1-1
, and updates to arch1-3
. Edit: I forgot to mention I am using systemd-boot
.
Now it has been 20 minutes and it is still stuck. Fan is also still spinning. I have pugged it to power so it does not run out of battery for the time being. For reference, kernel updates process usually take less than 10 minutes. Can anyone help advise what I should do? Is it safe to force shut down using the power button? (Device is Lenovo T480s.)
If worse comes to worst I can use the Timeshift backup, but I would like to know what is the “correct” course of action here. Please let me know if you need further information.
Thank you!
Mel
