ls -l /usr/lib/libc.so.6
[manjaro /]# ls -l /usr/lib/libc.so.6
ls: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The file has seemed to disappear after doing the unlinking. I backed it up in the live dowload folder, but cannot paste it back there, is it because I’m chroot?
I was unable to go back to chroot after doing that, so I opened Thunar as root and pasted the backed-up files back in the folder. Back to the previous step, I guess.
your system is a mess…
there is pacman static, try with it:
wget https://pkgbuild.com/~eschwartz/repo/x86_64-extracted/pacman-static
chmod +x pacman-static
./pacman-static -Syyu glibc lib32-glibc
do I do this after chroot?
yes you need to be chrooted

Not sure if it was successful.
regardless of all the errors the first command gave me, this now prompts me to proceed with installation:
./pacman-static -Syyu
it failed again because of this:
/usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found
So even though there is no more nvidia conflict error, is it not safe to proceed with
./pacman-static -Syyu
?
it should be since it will reinstall the glibc anyway but just to be sure run this first:
./pacman-static -S glibc lib32-glibc
then:
./pacman-static -Syyu
