Can't boot after recent update, drivers fail to update from terminal

[Wollie]

Try to reset your mirrors and then update by

sudo pacman-mirrors --country all --api --protocols all --set-branch stable && sudo pacman -Syyu

[Artt]

nmtui to connect

[asorel]

Running that command gives me the failed to update multilib (invalid url for server) and failed to synchronize all databases errors again.

[Wollie]

@asorel is your internet connection really OK? Are you sitting behind a proxy or third-party firewall?

[asorel]

I have neither outside proxies nor firewalls in place on my home network, no. I didn’t get any error messages when I manually connected to my network using ntmui, and I have no issue accessing the Internet from other devices connected to the same network, nor does this machine have a history of connectivity problems after an update, so I have no immediate reason to assume Internet trouble. Are there steps I can take to ascertain that whether my machine is properly connected?

[Wollie]

Please post:

systemctl status systemd-resolved

If it’s enabled, try

systemctl disable --now systemd-resolved

[asorel]

Output was:

systemd-resolved.service - Network Name Resolution
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-resolved.service; disabled; vendor preset; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

Seems like it’s disabled already. What would my next step be after this?

@asorel

failed to update multilib (invalid url for server)

What’s the output of:

cat /etc/pacman.conf
cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[asorel]

See attached images

And for the second command:

[moson]

Looks fine to me.
Is your internet really ok, can you fetch this file?

curl https://manjaro.moson.eu/state

[asorel]

Hmm, I got a “Could not resolve host” error. I guess there is some issue with the Internet.

[moson]

So yeah, DNS is not working.

Check if you have a connection at least.

ip link
ping 8.8.8.8

Hit CTRL-C to cancel ping after a couple of seconds.

[asorel]

It appears that I got a positive response from both commands:

[moson]

please run nmcli

[asorel]

Thank you for taking the time to walk me through this, I appreciate it. Seems like my wifi radio is disconnected, what’s next?

[moson]

Strange. I’m wondering why you could ping then.

Try using nmtui to connect.

[asorel]

Connected fine, ran nmcli again, this is what I got:

[asorel]

After reconnecting I tried running sudo pacman-mirrors --country all --api --protocols all --set-branch stable && sudo pacman -Syyu again just to see what it would get me. It seemed to run fine this time, and I was also able to run sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300 without any apparent errors. However, I’m still getting a failure to boot.

Attempting to install the nonfree drivers gives me:

: : nvidia-utils and nvidia-455xx-utils are in conflict (nvidia-libgl). Remove nvidia-455xx-utils? [y/N] error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)

: : nvidia-utils and nvidia-455xx-utils are in conflict
Error: pacman failed!
Error: script failed!

I followed the directions in this post now that my connectivity issues have been resolved, it seems to work now:

Can't boot past motherboard logo (neither kernel 5.9.16 nor 5.10.2) after 12-30-20 update

This worked! Thank you stephane! Edit: I booted into 5.9.16, will try 5.10 just to be sure.
