I believe that was the one I tried using. I’m back in the Live environment now with Internet connectivity, I’m trying to work out some package dependency conflicts. I guess I’ll see how that goes. If it comes down to it, I suppose I could do a fresh install. My /home is on a physically separate disk, at least.
I’ve resolved the dependency conflicts. Now there are a bunch of warnings that all appear related to the nvidia driver. However, there’s a hook to trigger a timeshift backup that stops the upgrade from running. I’ve googled it and looked in the filesystem to try to figure out how to disable that hook for now, but I can’t find it. I assume I need to edit a .conf file somewhere?

Thank you. I found it in /usr/share/libalpm/hooks. The search results I had earlier showed it in /usr/local/share/libalpm/hooks. The update ran with some warnings related to the nvidia drivers, but it completed. I’ll cross my fingers and reboot . . .
Thank you for the help. That worked and I’m back in my system. Now I just have to see if anything remains broken.
