Error output:
Failed to synchronize database
Noting to do
Transaction successfully finished
after the sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 and i update with sudo pacman -Syyu, it output the same errors for warning too many errors.
should i do something with this first ?
[FAILED] Failed to start pkgfile database update
ohh well haha i am ok with normal login screen that came from the OS, should i remove the package lightdm-gtk-greeter ?
In order to move to the next step, yes, that would be the first issue to take care:
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent --interactive
and only select working mirrors
then move to
pamac update
that is?
sudo is not needed for systemctl commands
command suggested with or without sudo returns an error
$ systemctl state lightdm
Unknown command verb state.
state is not a recognised command verb – man systemctl
haha i found out what happen on the update part, my connection somehow went down, when jump to manjaro, but fixed it and the package update is done but last part went error again.
sudo pacman-mirrors and sudo pacman -Syyu is update
but this one sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia
:: Synchronizing package databases. . .
core downloading
extra downloading
multilib downloading
error: target not found : linux59-nvidia
Error: pacman failed!
Error: script failed!
also this error was not showing anymore
[FAILED] Failed to start Light Display Manager
[FAILED] Failed to start pkgfile database update
so what next ?
Got it, the error show the same as it was not active but with bogdancovaciu help, now it seem to have some movement, but the last part somehow show error again.
Please boot a supported kernel or a LTS one and remove the EOL one. What kernels you have installed?
mhwd-kernel -li
What kernel you are currently booted into?
uname -a
If you are on a different kernel than 5.9 then you can run:
sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux59
Then we can move on. At this point all this became a x, y and z issue 
mhwd-kernel -li
The following kernels are Installed in your system: *linux59
uname -a
Linux monster-ms7c96 5.9.16-l-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon 21 22:00:46 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux
yeah i think is 5.9 but once i ran the sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux59
Error: You can't remove your current kernel
haha it stopped here, some post said this, but havet tried it, waiting for your instruction XD
The CLI version mhwd-kernel does not allow removing the running kernel
# mhwd-kernel -r linux511
Error: You can't remove your current kernel.
If you are installing another kernel then you can add rmc
mhwd -i linux510 rmc
I explicitly mentioned:
but regardless. Did you managed to install and boot from another kernel?
Sorry what do you mean ? is there some part that i have dual OS system ? i got a window and manjaro ?
Ok, will try one more time. Manjaro can have 1 or multiple supported kernels installed, and you can chose to boot from each at a time, from GRUB boot menu, either to test or because one can perform better on a particular hardware than another kernel.
In your case, it happens that you have just one kernel, that is EOL for quite some time. Did you installed and booted from a newer and supported kernel and then remove linux59?
understood, but i didt install or boot from a newer kernels, so mean my kernel is only depends now ? also what does EOL stand for ?
what you mean is i need to install a new kernel and switch to it and remove the linux59 and reinstall again then switch back ?
i checked on the advance menu, i have a fallback initramfs kernel and a normal kernel.
Have you ever read the update announcements ? An example would be:
EOL stands for End Of Life - aka unsupported kernel and as you can see, the linux59 is not even in the repositories anymore.
I told you to do so, install a sported kernel or a LTS one … LTS = Long Time Support.
For the 3rd time, YES. That is what you have to do 
Okay after re-read all the post, then finally get what you mean XD.
so i install a new kernel sudo mwhd-kernel -i linux515
* linux515 5.15-rc2
Switch into the new kernel in GRUB boot menu and remove the the linux59 kernel.
after update and last install on the sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia

Error: pacman failed!
Error: script failed!
the screen still black but linux59 is confirm remove, so what next ? should i test different kernel that could install the video-nvidia ?
What i do not understand is why a RC kernel tho … i mean, linux510 is a curated and LTS kernel. You jumped directly to linux515 … Well …
I’ll propose this, switch branch to testing
sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch 'testing'
then update
pamac update
that way you will get t a better support for nvidia modules for linux515 as they are now 470.74 instead of 470.63, but maybe you will not like that as it has some regressions with G-Sync
Yes, i would go with latest LTS that is linux510
but if that is not working try the branch switch thing i mentioned.
Oh cause linux510 first time i got it install my network seem can’t connect with even with try, but i got it work and now on linux510 kernel
i update everything but it still output the same error as i go for the sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Error: pacman failed!
Error: script failed!
but now i ran sudo mhwd -li
Warning: No installed PCI configs!
Warning: No installed USB configs!
so i will keep trying different kernel utill it can be install with the video-nividia or am i missing out anything ?
Remove the driver first. You might have to remove cuda too prior to that.
Then right after that reinstall them without the force -f in the command.
Sorry what drive are we talking about ? sudo mhwd -r video-nvidia ?, also how to remove cuda ? haha thanks being patient with me ya, never face this problem before.
Finally fix the kernel problem, with this

first check each folder isit dependency of some drive
sudo pacman -Qo /etc/path/folder/
( example: /usr/lib/libEGL_nvidia.so.0 )
if they are not under any dependecy drive, unlink them with this
sudo unlink /etc/path/folder/
then update the drive with
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
reboot the system and they login will be back on
Thanks bogdancovaciu very grateful for helping me understand the problem and patiently guide me, please stay health and weathly with all the best for you :D. really appreciate
