I updated some packages and have appeared to have bricked my entire system is there a way out of this?
Welcome to the forum! ![]()
Of course there is. Just undo what you’ve done to brick your system. ![]()
On a more serious note, you cannot expect us to say anything meaningful without giving us any information. ![]()
Which packages, and why have you only updated those, instead of updating your entire system?
Manjaro is a (curated) rolling-release distribution. Partial updates are not supported.
Perhaps worth reading… ![]()
I did pacman -Sddyu because I had a dependency I didn’t want to go through fixing since I knew there was multiple since I hadn’t fully upgraded my system in over a year. I restarted and now my computer doesn’t work.
any pacman commands including ones done in chroot through a live usb result in a “pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libngtcp2_crypto_oss1.o.0: cannot open shared object files: no such file or directly” I tried to extract libngtcp2 from the cache but to no avail.
Okay, then you’re going to have to get pacman-static. ![]()
Unlike what the above Wiki page says, you don’t have to get it from the AUR. You can download the package from the Manjaro repo in the live environment using the live environment’s own pacman.
Download the package, copy and unpack it into the chroot environment, and then use pacman -static to properly upgrade the pacman in your installed system — see the Wiki page above. But you may want to cross your fingers… ![]()
It took me almost 5 hours but I am able to use my computer again.
