Hi I’m new on the forum and apologies if i misplaced a category or so. So the problem is, I updated the 6.1 lts kde plasma manjaro today. During the installation it got cancelled due to download being less than 0 byte transfer speed/10sec. So i tried again, everything went successfully and now i cant login, not even to tty and get dropped in an emergency shell. Took a look at other forum posts and since i cant upload a pic ill just write it down:
mount: /new_root: can’t find UUID=xxxxxxx
you are now being dropped into an emergency shell
sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off
[rootfs ]pacman-mirrors -f 5
sh: pacman-mirrors: not found
[rootfs ]# sudo manjaroo-chroot -a & pacman -s linux 61
sh: pacman: not found
[rootfs ]# sh: sudo: not found
[rootfs ]# manjaro-chroot -a
sh: manjaro-chroot: not found
Also some brief info about my laptop:
Intel nvidia, 1050ti.
The windows is kept and the (manjaro) os is stored on a portable ssd. I dont have (i guess) a grub. Instead i set a boot order in the bios. Been using manjaro for 2 years or so, this is the first time i get into an emergency shell with atm no commands working i find online
you need to chroot, so boot into manjaro live usb, make sure you are connected to internet, open terminal and chroot: manjaro-chroot -a
rerun update: pacman-mirrors -f 5 && pacman -Syyu
if there are errors post the output here, if there are no errors and you are up to date, post output from: mhwd-kernel -li && mhwd -l -li
manjaro-chroot -a
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdc1. Check your device.map.

# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS=(base)
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap filesystems"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor

ldconfig returned nothing. nothing to post in this case.
well thats the manjaro partition …
exit chroot: exit
just in case unmount it: sudo umount /dev/sdb3
then rerun fsck: sudo fsck -f /dev/sdb3
if there are errors and you are prompted for repair press ‘Y’, then reboot and see if it helped…
Wow! it worked! now i could boot in! thank you!
May i ask what could be the cause? next time id like to avoid it if its possible.
Also as i see the umount and fsck solved the issue, am i right about it or could be something else?
oh well… well now i can boot in so im grateful.
Got minor screen tear issue now tho but on that, i already gave up on it, it sometimes gets fixed and sometimes it break ¯_(ツ)_/¯
