Hello,
I recently reinstalled Garuda using a clean wipe, new partition, and fresh install. Install media was the garuda-dr460nized-linux-zen-231029.iso downloaded from the Direct (Cloud 32) link located here: Garuda Linux | Download. Installation was done through a Ventoy launched live session and completed the install. Fresh install, I disabled KDE Wallet through a config file, and used the Garuda Assistant to launch the update. It started with two of the repositories timing out on the update, and went smoothly until the 10-linux-modules-post.hook was called. At this point, the log shows the following errors":
[2024-03-15T02:51:50-0400] [ALPM] running '10-linux-modules-post.hook'...

Once I continued with the installation after the NVIDIA drivers were installed, my screen froze, went white, and dropped me out onto the DE, which you could tell had some parts that hadn’t been updated and were listed with icons saying “incompatible with Plasma 6”. Screenshot available upon request. I searched the forum and found another user who had a near identical problem, linkL Permissions errors when installing or upgrading. I followed your advice to him to do another fresh reinstall and launch the update manually from the terminal with the same results. After a reboot, I went the additional step of attempting a full package reinstall of all packages, and got the same result. Rsync errors, followed by every package throwing a permission error, ending in a crash. At no time have I used Octopi or any other tool than the Garuda Assistant. Matter of fact I haven’t even moved on to the next step of installing the optional software.
I did try running a system update from the command prompt, and it finished stating that there was nothing to do, however I’m worried that the lack of permissions on installing nearly every package on mu system is a cause for alarm and / potential issues, thus why I’m bringing it to the forum.I’m a relatively new Linux convert coming over from Windows, I know I wouldn’t even TRY to use a Windows machine that had thrown errors like that during an upate, if it would even start. Your guidance is greatly appreciated.
