Problem with starting the system, stuck in screen

we’re still stuck on this

_

edit:
i have another computer with same manjaro installed, only I don’t use it or update it very often. should I use it for comparing something? any command i could do for comparing?

so chroot again, and run this command:
cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep upgrade
and copy all lines from this date: 2022-08-14
we need to downgrade some more stuff - video drivers and aslo light dm if it was upgraded

edit: no there would be nothing of help in the another computer, it looks like you are affected with the issue mentioned above…

Edit: or you can use this command:
cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep upgrade | grep 2022-08-14

edit:
i only remember changing dkms stuff, the same day i installed kernel-headers for installing v4l2loopback-utils.

edit2:
you see it stills showing:

pgraded linux515-headers (5.15.59-1 -> 5.15.60-1)

didn’t we change that a few minutes before?

no we only downgraded the kernel not the headers because of the error, try downgrading it:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux515-headers-5.15.59-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

and output from:
pacman -Qs linux419
ls -hl /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep 2022-08-14

downgrade=done.

1:

local/linux419-headers 4.19.255-1
    Header files and scripts for building modules for Linux419 kernel

2:

no output.

ok, so you have installed headers for a non existing kernel, so remove it first:
pacman -R linux419-headers
then post output from:

ls -hl /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep lightdm
ls -hl /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep mesa

kernel=removed.

there is no longer a package to downgrade the lightdm, so downgrade this:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-libva-mesa-driver-22.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-mesa-22.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-mesa-vdpau-22.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa-22.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa-vdpau-22.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

any error post here
if there are none, reboot and hopefully it will work

hopefully i’m answering you from my system.

so what happened? how could i previne myself from seeing it happening again?

i presume i couldn’t install that kernel-headers again, am i right?

edit:
i just opened obs and it seems i still have obs virtual camera enabled, so that’s good.
in a couple minutes ill be back if theres anything else we should be doing.
thank you for all help.

first check if it even worked …
theres really nothing you can do, since its linux/manjaro thing
and you have installed the 5.15 kernel headers, we just downgraded them, and removed the 4.19 headers since you dont have the 4.19 kernel …
if this worked, then you can normally use your system, and hopefully with the next update, the issue will be resolved

So when I could turn on computer we had a lot of work to do, so I didn’t came here anymore. Everything was running ok, before yesterday when I turned on OBS virtual camera and then turned off computer, the same thing happened. Will try now to do that same commands again.

update: it didn’t work this time.

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-libva-mesa-driver-22.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-mesa-22.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa-vdpau-22.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

should I be doing everything again?

edit: I did all downgrade commands and it didn’t help.

you need to downrgade also the kernel + headers:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux515-5.15.59-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux515-headers-5.15.59-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

and dont run update, thats the reason why it happened again, it updated these packages that we downgraded … wait for the next system update, until then dont update them …

how have i update them? i don’t remember doing such thing

well if downgrading them works, then there was a update …

the kernel and headers were updated on: 2022-08-22T09:39:56
so downgrading them again with the video drivers should fix it

did you run all of these commands from chroot:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux515-5.15.59-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux515-headers-5.15.59-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
