Stuck at [OK] boot screen after update

General system Newbie
1

Hello,

I have been using endeavour for a while now and everything has been running smoothly. I normally just use yay to update or use the welcome menu. I’m in no way used to navigating the system but I get by as I only use my laptop for basics. This time I have no choice but to ask for help, I have seen and done everything any post that has an issue related to mine suggested but to no avail. I have reinstalled through a live iso so many times but the update never succeeds. I also forget to time shift so that’s my bad. Please help me if you can.

Hi @Yassir1, can you give some examples of what you have tried? Did any of your efforts change the boot process in a noticeable way?

What have you reinstalled so many times from the live ISO?

What bootloader is in use? The most common ones would be Grub or systemd-boot.

Do you know if you are using dracut or mkinitcpio?

What login manager are you expecting to see? What desktop environment do you run?

Have you tried reinstalling the kernel and headers, or rebuilding the initramfs from a chroot on the live ISO?

GNU GRUB is the bootloader in use. For what I have reinstalled, it’s the whole OS, just completely erased the disk and installed endeavour again. As for what I have tried, it’s been Chroot and tty among other things I can’t recall. I live in China so even updating the mirrorlist was a bit annoying as I have to do it manually. Moreover the keyring also needed updating but I managed all of that successfully, the problem is always post upgrade reboot. I keep getting stuck at the same screen but not always the same line. For the other questions I’m sorry I just don’t know. I’m only using endeavour because I have an old machine with just 30G so I’m quite a newb. Thanks for whatever help you can offer.

I use the xfce desktop environment because I need super lightweight. What I’m expecting to see is the login screen.

The drm is the Direct Rendering Manager. It says it finished but since that is the last message maybe it’s related to your gpu drivers? Can you access a tty; ctrl+alt+F2?

6

I cannot access tty

7

Maybe you need to start from the beginning and post the hardware info from a live ISO.

Try Ctrl + Alt + F3. Ctrl + Alt + F2 is used to exit tty and head back to Graphical User Interface iirc. At least that’s how it works on my system, and how it was when I looked it up when I had issues.

Do you have network connectivity issues?

What network card is in use?

Check out this solution from the Arch forum, involving disabling NetworkManager for the boot process and enabling it again after the system is up: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=283870
