Rebooting during full update after fresh install

[Zebastjan]

Just did a fresh install of the Garuda KDE Dr460nize gamers’ addition on an old Toshiba Satellite with an Intel core i7, 16G of ram, Intel HD graphics 4600 and a 1 T SSD sata drive. It had another Arch on it w/ much trouble, but it’s a backup system, so I don’t use it much these days.

During the install process, I had a several random reboots, but after a number of attempts and perhaps by dumb luck alone, I was able to get the system installed.

Now I’m trying to do a full system update which is 1096 pkgs, and after installing 120 or so pkgs the system spontaneously reboots. I normally use yay, but I get the same results when I click threw a gui button which seems to be running pacman.

Similar issues in the past have been resolved by switching kernels, so I’ve tried just updating the kernel which works w/out causing a spontaneous reboot, but I have same problem on the full update. Also, I tried installing linux-lts, and get the same problem. This issue seems to be different in so far as it’s always happening during the update process, rather than randomly.

Just did a fresh install of the Garuda KDE Dr460nize gamers’ addition

What ISO? The old Gamers Edition is too old. Skip it, use the latest dr4gonized ISO instead.

@Zebastjan

During the install process, I had a several random reboots,

That’s not going to end with a good install.

A little off topic

So if i have installed garuda gamer almost one year ago, is there any way to do full upgrade to latest version? You said that gamer edition is too old ??

If you are in the situation to reinstall, why don’t you try the testing builds that already start with KDE6, so the amount of packages to update will be much less?

Call for testers of our new major release builds!

Hi everyone! It is once again time for a testing round of our ISO builds before the upcoming major release The highlight of this one is certainly the KDE 6 mega release, powering the dr460nized edition. The ISO has previously been tested by the team, though we had mixed results when doing so. Some installations would not boot up right after a successful installation, while they worked flawlessly on other systems. We have not found a common pattern here yet, therefore fee…

I would start with Grauda Dr60nized (non-gaming). Then from there, when everything is installed, updated and working, there is a tool to add all the gaming stuff.
You’ll see in the thread that there are major issues still under investigation (after installation someone fails to boot), but I understand that the cases are limited to only some AMD systems.
If you don’t want to try the testing builds, or if you encounter the same issue there, you could work your way through this tutorial.
I know, it’s long and “demanding”, but also quite comprehensive.

@wilk85

Garuda employs a “rolling release” model. As long as you have kept your installation regularly updated, you are running the latest version, minus any theming changes, etc., which you can easily do yourself.

But I find @filo’s suggestion intriguing and might take it if I had the hardware.

[wilk85]

ok that’s what i thought, but wanted to be sure, thx Bro

[Zebastjan]

Sounds like a good, idea… and in fact I don’t need the gamers’ edition on my old laptop which is a backup machine. I’m downloading the normal plasma version of the test release from link above now. Let’s see how it goes.

Just tried sudo dd if=garuda-dr460nized-linux-zen-240321.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress and got the same results. It booted into the live environment senproblemo, but then shutdown in the middle of the install. Like I said, it’s an old laptop, so I don’t think we can rule out a hardware problem. However, I did have some other Arch on it prior to trying Garuda, so it could also be a Garuda issue. Shall I try some other distro, just to see what happens, or is there some other diagnostic info that I could gather? As, I’ve now got Garuda up and running on my main machine, it’s no hurry and I can bang on this some more, if it would be helpful.
