System froze during an update

[Darkx]

My system froze during an update (I used eos-update in welcome app), and my Alt + SysRq REISUB didn’t work, so I held the power button to force shutdown.

I turned on my laptop to see if it would boot; I noticed that I only had LTS Kernel as an option in the menu.

Everything is green during the boot (with LTS Kernel); there’s also fsck (usually, I see this every time I force the shutdown of my laptop).

I landed on the login screen, but logging in to Wayland or X11 only shows a black screen.

I need help. What should I do next in this situation?

nVidia? Same thing happened to me

Reinstall each of those packages:

sudo pacman -S <package-name> --overwrite='*'

This should get you working
Lucky you thought to get a picture!

along with what xircon suggests try the first solution in the linked reply

Kernel panic after broken update, pacman not working inside chroot

browsing endeavour, arch and nvidia forums and reddit threads all day has yielded 2 possible solutions to this: 1: its a systemd issue. solved by executing sudo touch /etc/systemd/do-not-udevadm-trigger-on-update 2: its an nvidia driver issue with the 550 beta series drivers. downgrading to 545 and 535 is suggested.

and in case pacman doesn’t work you’ll need to use a live iso to re-install packages

Yes. Unfortunately, I have an Nvidia on this laptop. I have a hybrid graphics laptop. I mainly use Intel for display and Nvidia for gaming. I’ll try your solution later. I’ll let you guys know; hopefully, it works.

Hello, should I try your solution before reinstalling the packages, or is it okay to try it after reinstalling them?

This one solved my problem. Thanks to everyone who gave me hints on how to solve this problem. As a newbie, I’m learning every time my system breaks.

These guides also helped me fix this problem:

now that the packages are re-installed i would recommend creating the file before you update again.
