I broke it so bad

Issues & Assistance
1

Preface:
Here's the deal, I can't post my inxi, i can't reach a terminal. This is on a Lenovo laptop with Nvidia graphics. I updated, and the best way i can describe the current state of my laptop is a soft brick. If i hit ctrl+alt+f2 and drop down into a shell environment? It wont let me sign in.

The issue: I was running Garuda I3wm, after a faithful update and reboot throught the Garuda assistant (love it btw) my terminals stopped loading anything past the middle of fast fetch, if it loads it at all. It also disabled my network connections outright. I tried dropping to a shell environment, but when i log in, it freezes with what seems like audit level dmesgs? I cant copy and paste, and thats a lotta lines to manually type out.

What have i tried?
Dude, everything. Ive done fresh installs of the i3wm iso, ive tried Dragonized and Gnome as well, same thing happens after the initial update and reboot.

I don't know where to go from here. I need my terminal, please send help :cry:

I'll add as much detail as i can, i just need to know what details and maybe how to get them.

Have you tried restoring the latest working snapshot (if GRUB starts, or this could be done also from a live ISO)?

I have, and it works about 50/50, but i can't update or it immediately breaks. I'm not smart enough to find which update is breaking it.

4

I do wanna add that i have personal data backed up on a secondary internal drive, and I'm working from fresh os installs at this point

5

My best guess is install the linux-lts kernel from the initial setup and see how it goes with it.
Afterwards, manually:

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers

Just finished a fresh install of Dragonized. I ran the above command, but the only thing on login it the Garuda Welcome. Everything else has poofed out if existence. Dropping to shell still shows the audit dmesgs, but its letting me interact with the shell now. Garuda-inxi freezes the terminal, no output

Do you install with proprietary drivers?
From the inxi in your previous post I see your box has AMD and nvidia, in which case it’s best to follow Switching between integrated and dedicated graphics | Garuda Linux wiki

After installing the -lts kernel, did you boot it from the advanced options in GRUB?
I think otherwise it’s still running with the default -zen one.

It wont let me sign in

What happens exactly?

Mmm, looks similar to this one (same laptop I think)?

Unfortunately still not solved.

I use proprietary, and it runs off integrated unless I switch with Prime. I haven't tried advance options yet. Ive been trying to do this while at work, so i appreciate your patience with my timeleyness.

That's exactly what it looks like. F#ck.

11

switch with Prime

Yes, that sounds like the right way. So that’s not the problem (I hoped it was easy).

exactly what it looks like

I hate to say it, I also think so.

Ima gpart my internal HDD and get Fedora running then reinstall Garuda back to the SSD and see if i can track down whats breaking it when I update. Fingers crossed, wish me luck. This newb will take any tips you can give

13

I'm running Dragonized, decided to drop my current inxi off while I can. I'll probably run with partial upgrades just to get my needed apps, and then not touch anything for a few days. Hopefully I'll either find a work around or something upstream will fix.

I recently broke my system badly as well. On such breakages I make sure there is enough free disk space and then reinstall all packages. I managed to recover, wish you good luck!:+1:

So, I'm trying to run an update on the test bed, and I get the following:

I'm not smart enough to know quite whats wrong.
Oh, more errors:

>==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: xhci_pci

I guess I'm going to reboot, watch it crash, and try again. I saw on some manjaro forums that it may be something to do with the Nvidia drivers and the kernel, maybe I can dig something else useful up

Warning is not an error.

If you use the “Garuda Linux Forum Search” you find the solution too, change the kernel to linux-lts & linux-lts-headers (maybe linux-amd)
