@StonedSidney the command you are looking for to fix this issue is garuda-update -- sweet-theme-full-git, let me know if that works, and if not, please post the full output of the command.

Will try that when I get back to my PC.

How do I record the full output? Yesterday I did a garuda-update (might have been pacman -Syu) and it took 3.5 hours before failing with a generic error (I'll post actual error later). Is there a log recorded somewhere? I can't cut ' paste the output, I as I usually do, as it was hundreds of lines long and scrolled out of range.
Thanks.

Check in the pacman log, with e.g.

cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep '2022-12-05'

Cheers filo, now I know where to find the logs! :grinning:
Here’s a copy of how the big update ended. Notice that “unexpected error” doesn’t help with debugging and after 3.5hrs of downloading, that was really frustrating:

sudo pacman -Syu

Currently my system is working, but it’s in snapshot mode. When I restore a snapshot it still reboots into snapshot mode again so I guess no fixes will ‘stick’ and this should be the priority issue before anything else can be fixed? I’ve tried booting & restoringmultiple snapshots, and even killed grub along the way, but can’t get a snapshot to stick. At least this running instance has firefox, update and garuda-update usable. It’s like grub thinks this snapshot is my main Garuda :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Anyway, here’s the log from yesterday’s pacman fun:

Argh it’s too big to post (it is massive) - how do I share that with you?

Just do it again, that’s not a problem. It won’t download successful things again after all. Your internet connection may have had an issue in the meantime.

Yes. Unfortunately fixing something like this over the forum is beyond frustrating for every party involved and will probably take days. Do you have discord, telegram or matrix where I can get in touch by any chance and set some time aside to help you?

Cheers,
Here goes: Garuda's PrivateBin

I don't have any of those services, but I could sign up for one. Preference?

A suggestion: when I chrooted from the live stick there were 2 Garuda options and I took the first one. Could I have then made the snapshot the "real" garuda? Just a thought.

Cheers.

I tried on this PC but had to install flatpak first. I got this result..... I'll try using the wife's Ubuntu laptop tomorrow.

OK I'm dumb. I've installed Telegram, signed in with the QR code and given loads of permissions on my phone, and got the PC web UI open, but it's not finding JustTNE as a contact. I'm on there as StonedSidney, maybe you can contact me?

36

Type in @JustTNE in the search bar. Maybe it's easier if you just join the @garudalinux group instead.

37

Yeah, I think I just PM'd you on Telegraph. You didn't get it?

38

Nope. Join Telegram: Contact @garudalinux and I'll shoot you a dm.

39

Bugger! It's late now so I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for your support and good night.

I suspect your system is still ancient, or Frankenstein.
