Suddenly everything broke

[Faervan]

Everything worked nicely yesterday evening. The only thing I installed was a game using Heroic. Power off, went to bed, came home now, power on, login, spotify automatically opened as intended, tried opening discord
windowsKey > "dis" > enter
saw Icon on appbar, Icon then vanished, Discord didn't open
pressed windowsKey -> nothing happened
waited a bit
tried opening other programs -> nothing happened
brute forced restart (manually took away power)
loginscreen without issues, then completly bugged screen, yet spotify worked (as shown in img)
brute forced restart again -> loaded snapshot -> didn't work -> loaded different snapshot -> did work -> garuda-update -> broke again -> tried multiple snapshots -> stuck after login screen

idk what to do

garuda-inxi provided from recovery mode (shown in imgs)

@Faervan

brute forced restart (manually took away power)

Best way to destroy your system.

Why you post pictures from terminal?

926,9 KB for pictures, hard to read, not sorted.
  6,2 KiB garuda-inxi as text, searchable and copyable.

From template:

Please post the terminal/konsole input and output as text (no pictures) from the following command:

garuda-inxi

Why do you not boot last working snapshot?

[Faervan]

Thx for your reply.
I can imagine brute force restart isn't good. So what should I do instead if garuda completly ignores all of my inputs?

Oh and how can I get the garuda-inxi output from the recovery mode to this forum in txt form without writing it by hand?

This comment might seem a little aggressive, but it's not meant offensively, I honestly just want an answer.

@Faervan

how can I get the garuda-inxi output

In fish.config

alias tb='nc termbin.com 9999'

do

garuda-inxi | tb
https://termbin.com/18ue

Also, from live ISO or garuda-assistant, system info …

[Faervan]

Where is fish.config located?

[Turnergamer]

is it in emergency mode

[SGS]

Check

ls .config/fish/config.fish 
.rw-r--r-- 11k sgs  4 Aug 16:26  .config/fish/config.fish

or just use

garuda-inxi | nc termbin.com 9999

[Turnergamer]

what does it say when you boot up couldn’t mount?

Garuda Failed to mount /home

nothing

can you do this and send it

[Faervan]

Error: Couldn't resolve host "termbin.com"

[SGS]

@Faervan

Error: Couldn’t resolve host “termbin.com”

works here

Network connection missing?

[Faervan]

thx. command worked now

[SGS]

Again.

@SGS

Why do you not boot last working snapshot?

[Turnergamer]

okay at least your Linux isn't as corrupt as mine mines in "critical condition"

[Faervan]

the other guy showed me how to activate Networkconnection

garuda-inxi | nc termbin.com 9999

I tried a couple of snapshots. Most give a error message like "load kernel first"

others get immediately stuck (right know my screen is black, just the setfont kdfontop error gives a contrast. but nothing happens)
how can I leave now without brute force?

[Turnergamer]

My guess is chroot

[SGS]

@Faervan

screen is black

Computer doesn’t boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message

While there are many potential reasons why your installation doesn’t boot to a desktop, the primary reason is that the graphics drivers haven’t loaded correctly so your login/display manager (DM) doesn’t start. This is why you get a “black screen” or stuck at an [ OK ] Started some service message. The normal reason for this is that you have the incorrect driver version for the kernel. This can happens when the mirror you are updating from is not fully synchronised, or times out, and so y…

chroot steps in garuda linux from live garuda usb sudo mkdir /mnt sudo mount /dev/sdxy /mnt sudo garuda-chroot /mnt/@ now you should be chrooted in garuda if the system is installed in legacy bios then do the following in the chroot grub-install /dev/sda if its installed on efi first mount the efi partition ie fat32 partition from inside the chroot mount /dev/sdxy /boot/efi then grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=garuda --recheck then updat…
