Hey guys,
I interrupted an update (bad idea, I know that now) and since Manjaro doesn’t boot anymore.
With the guides I was able to find I started a Live Iso from a USB and chrooted into my installed system. I removed the locking of the database so that I can run pacman again:
# rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
That changed the error, now it seems that pacman can’t connect to a mirror.
Using # pacman -Syyu
yields error messages like the following
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from manjaro.osmir.ch : Could not resolve host: manjaro.osmir.ch
[same error for a lot of other mirrors]
error: failed to update core (invalid url for server)
[same errors also for extra, community and multilib]
error: failed to synchronize all databases
I get the same errors when using pacman -Syyu linux54
which was suggested in another post.
Also when I use pacman-mirrors
I get
Pacman-mirrors version 4.19.1
::Downloading status failed!
::Please check you network connection ...
I can write this post in the forum though and I can also ping through the terminal, so I think the connection is not the problem.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
The underlying problem is similar to Manjaro boot error vmlinuz-5.8 not found
(can’t link it) and in the thread running these commands is asked for:
mhwd-kernel -li
mhwd -li
ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/*.preset
Currently running: 5.9.16-1-MANJARO (linux59)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
