Manjaro Plasma Freezes After Login

For
sudo mhwd-kernel -li
the output was that I have Linux 510 and 54

I did the
sudo pacman-mirrors -f3
command, but
sudo pacman -Syyu
just gave me all errors, with the final one being “failed to synchronize all databases”. So, not good

is there a message lock ?
then

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck 
sudo pacman -Syyu

what is a message lock?

a message lock : you have tried pacman -Syyu , and stop on errors ,
there is still a lock in this case

you dont have network internet connexion ?
check to confirm

sudo pacman -Syy

I’m still not sure what you mean by “stop on errors”, but sudo pacman -Syy gives me the same long list of errors as well.

I think that I understand what you mean, actually. The system lost internet connection when it started freezing, which I guess is why pacman won’t work. Should I go back into the ISO usb and try these commands from there with the chroot commands? Because I’m not sure if I will be able to download the correct files with pacman otherwise. (I am able to connect to internet with the ISO booter)

yes return on USB iso manjaro

OK, just a second

OK, I’ve booted back into the ISO. Should I use the chroot commands as before, but with the pacman -Syyu command, or something different?

yes , go with chroot

sudo manjaro-chroot -a
pacman -Syyu

[manjaro /]# pacman -Syyu

OK, it worked, and this is what was returned

then

pacman -Syyuu

The system still freezes after attempting to log in, unfortunately.

so we need more information , and i need to go to bed
so next tomorrow ( or if any one see for next )

to do
boot on USB manjaro

return in chroot , provide
inxi -Fza
journalct l-b -1 -p4

not forget exit

Ok, one moment

Thank you for helping me today, and hopefully we can fix this tomorrow. If anyone else sees this thread, please let me know if you can help

Ok well while I’m very grateful for your time and effort in trying to help me through this bug, I have to just bite the bullet and reinstall Manjaro due to time constraints with work. I hope you have a wonderful week! Again, thank you so much for your help.
