Getting error after update was interrupted

Hi @One7,

I’m also from sunny South Africa, so know the pain.

Loadshedding is not a known term, outside of our country AFAIK. It’s known as rotational blackouts thorough the rest of the word, if I’m not mistaken.

Now, the problem is your kernel isn’t there. As you mentioned an update was interrupted, that would be the case. And since you have a working live environment USB thumb drive available, it makes this a lot easier. You’ll have to enter a chroot environment and reinstall the kernels. Please don’t worry about those errors that you mentioned, I also get them.

How to chroot

  1. Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with an 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 encironment:

manjaro-chroot -a
  1. If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.

When done, you should now be in the chroot environment.

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

Once in the chroot environment, complete the update:

pamac upgrade --enable-downgrade --aur --devel

Afterward, check if there is a kernel installed:

mhwd-kernel --list

If it doesn’t show one as being installed, install one. Let’s say version 5.15, the latest LTS:

mhwd-kernel --install linux515

If successful, reboot and test. Report back.
