You're going to need to boot into the arch ISO, so do that

#

Once you're in it, mount your partitions and chroot in

rancid birch
#

ok

#

can you help me using chroot?

silk sun
#

Are your partitions mounted?

rancid birch
#

in about 10 minutes, is that ok?

silk sun
#

uh, sure

rancid birch
#

very sorry

#

I think it's my missing knowledge, i also need help with mounting my disk :/

#

@silk sun

silk sun
#

Can you show me lsblk -f?

rancid birch
#

nvm

#

i did mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt instead of mounting the partitions

silk sun
#

well you don't want to mount your EFI partition to /mnt as well, that goes somewhere else

rancid birch
#

where?

silk sun
#

Run umount /dev/nvme0n1p1 to unmount it, and then show me the contents of /mnt/boot

rancid birch
#

ok

rancid birch
silk sun
#

Can you show me a screenshot?

rancid birch
exotic scaffold
#

umount takes the path it was mounted on

#

whats the output of lsblk

rancid birch
#

not right now but i ran umount /mnt

silk sun
#

If that worked, mount P2 to /mnt and then show us what's in /mnt/boot

rancid birch
#

does not exist

# 
ls -a

@ @.snapshots @home @log @pkg
silk sun
#

Ah, BTRFS snapshots

#

Unmount /mnt again and include -o subvol=@ with the mount command

#

Then use arch-chroot /mnt to chroot into the system, and run mount -a to mount the rest of the partitions and subvolumes

rancid birch
#

and the =

silk sun
#

Do you know the name of the layout that you need?

rancid birch
#

german

#

default

#

qwertz

#

found =

#

found @

#

there is nothing

#

in mnt/boot

#

btw

rancid birch
#

@silk sun ?

silk sun
#

What kernel do you have installed? (stock, LTS, zen, etc.)

#

And can you show me the contents of /boot?

rancid birch
#

Stock

#

I think

silk sun
#

Alright, then you'll want to run pacman -S linux to make sure it is installed right

rancid birch
#

Image generation succesful

silk sun
#

Can you show me what the file in /boot/loader/entries/ says?

rancid birch
#

there are 2

#

linux-fallback and non fallback

silk sun
#

show me the normal one

rancid birch
#

normal?

silk sun
#

non-fallback

rancid birch
silk sun
#

Looks good, try exiting out of chroot and rebooting

rancid birch
#

works now

#

but i need to know how to prevent that from happening

#

100% sure it's openasar

rancid birch
silk sun
#

Try accessing a TTY with ctrl + alt + F[2-6]

rancid birch
#

does not work

#

but editing the kernel arguments to single user mode?

#

should i try?

silk sun
#

sure

rancid birch
#

I think it's my xorg config again?

silk sun
#

I don't think that would prevent you from accessing a TTY, but maybe

#

What other packages failed to update during the update?

rancid birch
#

Openasar

rancid birch
silk sun
#

But you weren't able to access a TTY, which implies that something else is wrong

rancid birch
#

hmmm

silk sun
#

Are you able to use pacman from that emergency shell?

rancid birch
#

yes

#

sorry

silk sun
#

You can try running pacman -Qqn | pacman -S -, which will reinstall all packages

rancid birch
#

I need to connect with wifi first

#

do you know the command for that gui thing?

silk sun
#

nmtui?

#

The network manager service might not be started though

rancid birch
#

ye

#

should i?

silk sun
#

you can try starting it

rancid birch
#

i think it worked but pacman is currently downloading at 0b/s

silk sun
#

You may need to go back to the ISO and chroot back in to run it

#

I have to go for a bit, just follow the commands you used to mount and chroot earlier

rancid birch
#

Ok

#

So should I also enable network Manager

#

I will go to bed now, I will try again

rancid birch
rancid birch
#

or should i try connecting it to LAN

rancid birch
#

didnt work

silk sun
rancid birch
#

What thing do you mean

silk sun
#

Mount your root subvolume, chroot in, and then use mount -a to mount the rest of the partitions

rancid birch
#

and then?

#

i mean i don't have a connection to the internet i think

silk sun
#

You can get internet from the ISO

rancid birch
#

how?

silk sun
#

Using iwctl before you chroot

rancid birch
#

ok

#

ok it's doing that now

#

That's what happened before all this

#

Uninstalling discord worked, now it's reinstalling everything

#

@silk sun That worked

#

and now?

silk sun
#

Try rebooting and see if your system boots

rancid birch
#

you're the best

#

It does work

#

Thank you for saving my life

#

Really

silk sun
#

👍
