Hi guys, I’m new to Linux and recently I’ve updated my system, but now I am stuck at Boot.
The message is:
Starting version 250.3-1-arch
/dev/sda1 : recovering journal
/dev/sda1: clean, 276816/61054976 files, 13034248/244189752 blocks
I tried to refer to this link, but it doesn’t help much. my graphic card is GTX-1050, in case it is a graphic card problem.
any idea?
thanks.
are you able to access ttty if not fire up a live usb and share journal info and inxi -Fazy
@alkhwaritsmi if you do not know how to login via a tty session then do CNTL-ALT-F2 and login at the prompts. Your problem may be due to Nvidia drivers and your GTX1050 hardware. Search the forum for GTX1050 and see if any match your problem.
Driver shouldn’t be na. for your card you have to use proprietary drivers
Graphics:
Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050] vendor: Gigabyte driver: N/A
bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:1c81
Welcome to 
forums.
As pointed out it might be because you don’t have drivers installed for your graphics card.
Drop to tty by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2 … F6
Log in at the login prompt. And then run the below command to do a test the driver install.
nvidia-installer-dkms -t
If you doesn’t see any errors then run the below command to install the drivers.
sudo nvidia-installer-dkms
Once the installer finishes (hopefully without errors) restart the computer using the below command/s.
sudo systemctl reboot
or
sudo shutdown -r now

tried this but seems that I got an error retrieving packages(failed to retrieve some files). So, I tried this
sudo pacman -Syu elinks
as recommended in arch, but still no good.
But I apparently I encountered this glib2 package cannot be upgraded, might this be prior to my problem?

Seems the files are missing from the mirror. Try a mirror list update then try a system update.
You can use reflector which is installed by default. You can use the command like below.
Without country
sudo reflector --age 12 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
With country
sudo reflector --country <Put country names closer to you like Germany, United Kingdom> --age 12 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
After doing that try an update then try to do the installs.
Thank you so much it works
Happy to hear that it work and you’re most welcome. Another piece of advice enable reflector service which will automatically update your mirror list. So you won’t have to do it manually.

Wouldn’t that require to make sure to pass a double y to pacman for updating after the mirrors have been updated?
For myself, I just update the mirrorlist when/if there is an issue with it.
Yes -Syyu would have done the same.
It helps keep the mirror list updated for better speeds. Might not be an issue for most but for many others, it would help.
