# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Manjaro Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro`.
#
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
# - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

[manjaro-gnome /]#
that log output shouldnt be that huge, so post only the last 200 logs:
journalctl -b-1 -p4 --no-pager | tail -200
I’d missed this in my earlier searching:
Update && closure of thread
To solve this problem I finally ran:
sudo pacman -Scc
This will clean all the cache related to pacman
Then reinstalled gnome-shell, gnome-terminal, gnome-session using sudo pacman -S
Might this be worth trying? I don’t want to make matters worse!
this will not make things works, and its worth a try… but first post the logs…

ok, you have dumped core(s) from gsd-usb-protect and maybe others too…
can you describe what commands were you exactly running?
I’ve checked command history in the chroot mode but weirdly I can’t find the command I used. And as yet I can’t find it again on the forum. I’ll keep looking. It was a longish pacman command, involving several repeated letter options and I think a couple of “–” elements, one of them “–force” I think.
ok… lets try with a newer kernel:
mhwd-kernel -i linux65
when done and there were no errors, exit chroot:
exit
reboot, and see if it helped…
Seems that’s the kernel in use:
[manjaro-gnome /]# mhwd-kernel -i linux65
Error: You can’t reinstall your current kernel. Please use ‘pacman -Syu’ instead to update.
[manjaro-gnome /]#
I have to go for a bit now. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your help. I’ll check back when I can.
its the kernel thats in the live usb… and the 6.5 is anyway going to by eol, so try with the 6.6:
mhwd-kernel -i linux66
[manjaro-gnome /]# mhwd-kernel -i linux66

looks ok, you can exit chroot and reboot… and select the 6.6 kernel in the grub menu and boot with it…
No joy sadly - same problem persists.
check pacnew files:
pacdiff -o

Looks OK?
I remembered last night that one of the posts I read while trying to find a solution suggested that this error screen is very specific to Gnome. So I’m wondering: is there a way of using the chroot mode from the live usb to install a different desktop alongside Gnome and try rebooting into that? If it worked I’d have a usable and persistent workstation where I could return to “normal” work while continuing to troubleshoot Gnome. If this is possible, I imagine I’d need to tweak some config files so the boot process didn’t go anywhere near Gnome, as the error screen comes up immediately after choosing Manjaro - I never get to the login screen where there is the option to boot into “Gnome classic” etc.
No, it does not. You should have zero files reported with that command. All those 20 pacnew files should have been merged with your system.
You can see my thread here where I ask questions about pacnew files to learn how to manage them.
If you have a desktop and can use meld instead of vimdiff it makes the process a bit simpler, vim is not super easy to use the first time.

Never touch /etc/shadow. Do not merge that pacnew, just delete it.
sudo rm /etc/shadow.pacnew
It will be missing several shells, so make sure you keep them from the old config.
