Kernel panic after running an install script

so did you tried booting with them to see if you have kernel panic also with them?

Yes, with all of them.


The third option also has a duplicate. I am so far unable to boot from the live USB I made, I hope I didn’t screw anything up

5.13 is eol, so you would have problems booting with it anyway … and those are old kernels, you didnt update for a very long time … so boot into the live usb, connect to internet and chroot, then we will continue
edit: just notice you mentioned you are not able to boot from the usb?

Think I resolved it by trying another USB port. This is the screen I am greeted by now


I have a Nvidia card if that’s relevant.

ok, so boot with proprietary, connect to internet, chroot, then we will continue

Getting online will take a bit. Will need to wait for an USB-C data cable to get here in some 20 minutes. The machine usually gets it’s internet from USB tether from an Android phone.

why? doesnt it have its own network hardware?

There is no landline connection here and no 4g router or anything. We have a good data plan on the phone so we just tether here.

ok, then let us know when you ready

you are chrooted… so first run update, because you have a really outdated system…

try installing it:
pacman -S glibc

[manjaro /]# pacman -S glibc
pacman: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by pacman)

this is very bad…
post output from:

sudo manjaro-chroot -a

Perhaps I missed an earlier step? Was there anything else I needed to do after this command? The chroot guide I found seemed to indicate extra steps.

no thats it, you now chrooted … was just checking, this glibc could also happen when you didnt update for long time… so try this:
