Garuda will not update on 2 different machines

Hey guys,

I'm slightly embarrassed that I'm only active on the forum whenever I have technical issues but I have contributed money ever since I made Garuda my primary OS on 2 PCs.

I wouldn't fret about this particular problem if it were unique to one machine. However, it is a cause for concern since it's happening, independently, on 2 different PCs of mine for a couple of weeks now. The problem is simple: I cannot update the OS. I get a message on the console after attempting "garuda-update" that there's "Nothing to install / update". I tried it on my other PC before writing this and got the same message.

I pasted the text from the most recent update attempt on my main PC followed by the garuda-inxi. I tried adding the same for my other PC but it exceeded the character limit. I can also post it if that helps. Thank you guys in advance and please be patient with me if I made any forum formatting errors. Also, I hope everyone had a merry Christmas or a happy holiday if Christmas isn't your thing!

Thank you for the response. I'll poke around on the forum for meld pacdiff.

The message saying that my last update was on 2022-12-28 is inaccurate as I have not been able to update my system for several weeks now. Pasted below is the output from the mhwd-kernel -li command you instructed me to use. I'm going to try switching my kernel to lts and attempt another update.

I dunno what to tell you honestly, you literally sent a successful update log in your original post. :eyes:

I had also seen it that way.

That message refers to the plugins.

Damn

:grimacing: Welp, thank you all again for helping me. Sorry if this was a total non-issue :man_facepalming:
