Hi, suddenly Manjaro latest updated release starts to slow down until it crashes and is unable to start. Having dual boot with Windows 10 I tried to restart it too but the same problem happens. I’m afraid there is a hardware problem. Now I’m always live with Manjaro. What information can I give you to get your help? Thank you.

But this is the information on Live I think, how can I get the information of the damaged system?
When did you last time update your system, before the current issue?
Can you post
cat /etc/fstab
Make sure Fastboot / Fast startup etc. is switched off in Windoze. Fully shutdown Win.
If the update was interrupted a good start could be to restore the boot loader and then to follow this guide:
I did an update yesterday and after that the problem showed up. First the internet started to slow down, then the whole system. I tried to restart thinking it was necessary for the update to be successful but then I was no longer able to enter Manjaro. The update did not stop for any reason and was successful.
You will need to use manjaro-chroot from the Live installer, to give output of the installed system. Once in that environment, please give the output of:
cat /etc/fstab
… as previously requested. Thank you.
For completeness, this is the manjaro-chroot command:
sudo manjaro-chroot -a
If you should need to perform boot operations, such as replacing Grub, follow directions found in Restore the GRUB Bootloader.
I hope this helps.
manjaro-chroot -a
will get you in to your installation so you can post the details requested in this thread.
df -h
will show available HDD space. Also important. Please post that here as well.
N.B. When you are running your installed OS (not the Live USB):
watch -n 30 free -h
might be useful to keep an eye on your memory usage. Browsers eat RAM for lunch when watching YouTube etc…
When RAM gets low, restart the browser. This usually works (for me) several times before it chokes … I can get at least a few weeks constant use before a reboot is needed this way.
Also, what @soundofthunder said
They provided an inxi from a Live USB.
SWAP is not enabled on live media by default.
It also doesnt show any partition data.
Whereas it appears their original system did/does have some SWAP:
Ah, didn’t spot that. That’ll teach me for skim-reading without my goggles on!
N.B. I edited my previous post to tidy it up.
Good morning and thanks for the replies. I restored Grub and managed to get into the system: 15 minutes to start, apps take biblical times to start and use them, it’s very, very, very, very slow, impossible to use it. Below are the outputs you requested.

There are no obvious issues in /etc/fstab
; at least that’s ruled out.
Is your desktop portal installed? I don’t know which DE you use, so can’t be more specific than saying you can check with:
pamac search --installed desktop-portal
Where did this come from? Kind of unusual if not wrong…
Try the following IF @Mirdarthos suggested command reveals that xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
is installed:
sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-kde
More information: Stable Update 2023-06-04 under the heading Many applications (firefox, thunderbird, telegram, etc) slow to start on desktops other than Gnome.
However, I don’t see that this would necessarily cause the crash you describe.
Edit: Command updated to the kde backend.
This one , specifically:
/dev/shm is nothing but implementation of traditional shared memory concept. It is an efficient means of passing data between programs. One program will create a memory portion, which other processes (if permitted) can access. This will result into speeding up things on Linux.
shm / shmfs is also known as tmpfs, which is a common name for a temporary file storage facility on many Unix-like operating systems. It is intended to appear as a mounted file system, but one which uses virtual memory instead of a persistent storage device.
Reference: https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/what-is-devshm-and-its-practical-usage.html
Along with:
Makes it look like this is still all from a Live Environment.
Hi, as a DE I use updated KDE, in fact I think the latest update made on Sunday, if I remember correctly, is the origin of the problem in question.

Uninstall the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
backend. The example was given conditionally, based on whether xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
was found – it isn’t needed on KDE. Plus, I neglected to change the second command to -kde
as it should have been.
Regardless of this, neither command was needed. Uninstall with:
sudo pacman -R xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
OK done. Any other suggestions for solving the problem?
Without your help I won’t be able to exhume Manjaro, if you think there are no solutions tell me I’ll reinstall the system, I have some data I need inside the PC. Thank you.
