Black Screen after latest update. Does not boot

[acurrall]

I just updated and got nothing but a black screen with the following across the top of it:
“/dev/sda2: clean, 817170/30507008 files, 84759197/122018696 blocks”
This is the kind of thing I usually see before it continues to boot, but it just stays like this.
Any suggestions on what to do will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Alan

Hi @acurrall,

[HowTo] Resolve an unbootable Manjaro (black screen, login failed, cant boot, etc)

When we have problems gaining access to our systems it is difficult to gather information, let alone fix any problems. Here we will cover common causes and solutions to ‘manjaro wont boot’. TTY If your desktop does not load properly then you might still be able to use most, if not all, functionality by dropping to a non-graphical TTY. By default your system will have multiple TTYs, with each corresponding to an Fx key. Your desktop is assigned to one as well - most often F1. You can chang…

[Teo]

Side note: you shouldn’t actually see the filesystem being checked every time. Something is triggering it. Let’s hope you are dual booting and it is just windows and not a failing drive.

[acurrall]

Thanks, I tried that initial suggestion and edited the Grub to runlevel 3.
Upon hitting F10 it started to reboot, going through a load of commands, but hung on:
“[ OK ] Listening on D-Bus System Message Bus Socket.
[ OK ] Starting activation for snappy Daemon…”

All a bit cryptic to me, I’m afraid

Oh dear, that sounds ominous. I’m using all fairly new SSD drives and don’t have a Windows drive installed at the moment.

[Mirdarthos]

@acurrall

Oh dear, that sounds ominous. I’m using all fairly new SSD drives and don’t have a Windows drive installed at the moment.

Don’t worry about it. I also have an SSD and I don’t have windows either, and I’ve bee getting that message at startup since I’ve installed Manjaro 2+ years ago.

I thin you need to chroot into your system and sync it again as well as get proper logs.

To enter a chroot environment

1. Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with a still supported LTS kernel.

2. Write/copy/dd the ISO to a USB thumb drive.

3. When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment.

4. Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the chroot environment:

manjaro-chroot -a

If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.

If sucessfully done, you should now be in the chroot environment.

But, be careful, as you’re now in an actual root environment on your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart and can cause damage.

Once in the chroot environment, get proper logs from there by running:

journalctl --boot=-1 --priority=3

…copy them, and paste them here, using this formatting:

To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.

Instead of like this:

Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as descrribed above.

Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.

Please edit your post accordingly.

For more information, please see:

@Fabby

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

---

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

---

Also, run a complete sync and see if that helps:

pamac upgrade && pamac upgrade --aur --devel || echo -e '\033[0;91mThere was an error upgrading the system. AUR packages not upgraded.\e[0m'

This will update your system and ONLY if that was successful update any AUR packages.

a Reminder: While use of the AUR is possible, it’s neither recommended nor supported.

I recommend pamac instead of pacman, especially for newcomers as pamac was developed by Manajaro (developers) for Manjaro and just takes care of more things than pacman.

[acurrall]

Thanks, I’ll try that. It’s something I’ve done many times before but always just panic and forget the procedure every time I have a disaster.

[Mirdarthos]

Myself. That’s why I’ve taught myself to, especially if I panic, to rather leave everything alone, come back tomorrow and sort it out…

[ydar]

Nah, don’t worry. AFAIK, the file system check happens every boot (it’s normal behaviour), but it is usually very fast. If you search the forum or elsewhere you will find posts about how to disable it (I don’t think that’s a good idea).

[Teo]

My bad, i’m still used to my old Ubuntu where the auto filesystem check run every 20th boot or so.

[acurrall]

Tbh this tomorrow. It happened last night

[Mirdarthos]

Welp, at least you came here before formatting…that’s something…

[acurrall]

I’m not quite that bad. Just find it hard to retain all this stuff. I’m very grateful that Manjaro has such a generous and helpful community.

[Mirdarthos]

Same. The community here taught me about chroot-ing and so on…

[acurrall]

Ok, here’s the log from my chroot:

How bad does this look?

Tried running a complete sync and got this:

[manjaro /]# 

[acurrall]

And when I run a complete sync, as directed above, I get this:

There was an error upgrading the system. AUR packages not upgraded.
[manjaro /]# 

[Teo]

Aaaaaha. You may have some aur packages conflicting with system ones. (And something nvidia related sepatately).
Try updating the base system and leave aur for now. No sudo since you are already root.

pacman-mirrors -f5
pacman -Syyu

[acurrall]

Just tried that and it doesn’t look promising:
