I have an issue with Garuda.
I had made a big blunder and wrote in console 'sudo rm -r /var/lib/pacman/db.lck' and then my dekstop stoped working and all of my backups have been deleted.
I booted my computer again and then even live version was working bad: wallpaper after clicking became black, settings didn't work: i can't see what i am clicking on - some kind of freeze but i can change settings, latte doesn't work too and windows of applications seems to be broken - blinking fast and it is not possible to click anywhere.
If it is needed I pin journalctl log from starting of system.

I tried already reset settings in garuda assistance, updating system.

This is my first post and I am writing it because I couldn't find any answer to this, if this is simillar to other posts, sorry but I really gave up in searching.

And lastly I want to admit that you guys are making a really great job. This is amazing how configurable from GUI level this system is, how it feels using it and how this community and your team works. Great job guys.

Hi, welcome.

-r, -R, --recursive
....... Remove directories and their contents recursively

db.lck is a file, not a directory. Did you interrupt the deletion process, or did it run through?

Who knows already exactly what everything was deleted?

Try to back up important data first if you have not already done so.

Maybe you have interrupted an update process. Removing the db.lck otherwise cannot create such a mess.
Are you sure you cannot even restore a previous working snapshot?
If not, are you sure also the live USB is not working? I really can see no relations between the 2 things.
If the live USB is working, you could use it to chroot into your system and try to perform a full update.
If not working, you could try to boot to a TTY and do the same.

Huh, I tried but after mounting then updating I had an error: "error: command failed to execute correctly" and second error: "error: failed to commit transaction (failed to run transaction hooks)"
And i'm sure i cannot recover any snapshot. Like I said before even live usb version is bugging.
But I found maybe main problem - after "fdisk -l" I saw that loops partitions has been made on my ssd. And this is my fault because I had partitioned disk without earlier read if i can partition ssd. Do you think it can making a problem?

I mean the strangest issue is that whenever I boot it with new bootable pendrive, I have the same issues: buggy wallpaper and latte, impossibility to get to the website by firedragon and I cannot see while i am clicking buttons in settings panel.

We need more evidence to be able to debug the issues. Eg. Pacman output, screenshots of the occurrence, etc. :eyes:
