Hey Everyone , i know garuda is rolling update , but , I wasn’t able to use my system from long , i guess , that’s why i’m having this issue , so i would like help resolving my issue and updating the system , thanks.

i have seen a few posts on the forum regarding this topic

but that doesn’t seem to fix my system

❯ uname -r

It must have been really a long time! :wink:
There will be several things to do, I wouldn’t even be able where to start from.

This was removed from our builds such a long time ago and it is no more supported!
Maybe check the manual migration here
https://wiki.garudalinux.org/en/dr460nized-migration

Maybe check this

It looks like it was removed from chaotic-AUR

We need garuda-inxi, as required in the topic template.

ahahaha can’t deny it , must be over an year or i guess more

well , if that’s the case for you , think about me , ahaha , hope we will be able to get through this

Make sure you have the package **garuda-dr460nized** installed.
Bro for manual migration , i don’t have dr460nized :frowning:

 sudo pacman -S lib32-pipewire-jack pipewire-support wireplumber                                                                                                                                                         
[sudo] password for parasetu:          
error: target not found: pipewire-support

unable to run first command , how can i remove it ?

Ah okay , but do i need to read 850 posts to solve it ?

seems like no garuda-inxi is installed

A clean reinstall is probably the best solution to avoid further future issues. Just bakup and reinstall !

Ah that’s easy to say , rather than doing it ,also i have a ton of stuff on the system , bookmarks , fonts, templates , word files , idk what else , any tool you can recommend me to backup , also i don’t think i’ll be able to install anything looking at the current stage of my system , and manually backing wouldn’t be an easy task.

Perhaps backing up the entire home directory ? Idk,sorry.

No, just that one that is directly linked. The fix is to remove what no longer exists.

You’re probably also being affected by this too. The solution is to remove community:
https://archlinux.org/news/git-migration-announcement

You should switch from that, tkg kernels were dropped from Chaotic-AUR a long time ago.

Remove pcsx2

cd ~ && curl https://gitlab.com/garuda-linux/themes-and-settings/settings/garuda-common-settings/-/raw/master/usr/bin/garuda-inxi -O && chmod +x garuda-inxi

then you can use it:

./garuda-inxi

Your system is in a working state, take inventory of things you care for. If you have bookmarks, you can export them to a single HTML file and save that somewhere, as well as enable Firefox sync if applicable. Fonts can be reinstalled. Put all of your important text documents in one place, compress them. Put all pictures/video in their own folder. Make recovery easy on yourself if you do need to reinstall.

Ah can you specify me how to do it ? Like remove it one by one?

❯ sudo pacman -R protonvpn                                                                                                                                                                                                 144.4 Mbps  ─╯

Link not working for me :confused:

yeah , but how to switch when the system is stuck

There are really too many things to be fixed.
There is nothing really complicated to do, but many things and several constraints (first of all e.g. you should fix your pacman config removing the [community] repository).
I really never suggest this, but in this case a backup of your home directory and reinstallation is in order.

If you can’t bring yourself to regularly update a rolling reolease you’d be better off running a fixed release. :slight_smile:

I’m in agreement with the other comments above, a clean install is in order at this point.
