Pulseaudio busy and systemctl restart ineffective

What Stéphane is trying to tell you is:

  1. You have a very sick puppy
  2. Better euthanise it
  3. Get a new puppy:
    • back up all of your data, (Cold System Backup will be enough, use an external USB stick with CloneZilla Live
    • wipe all your Manjaro partitions (Keep all the Windows ones!)
    • install again using one single ESP (EFI System Partition)
    • Restore your data

It’s not impossible to merge 2 ESPs, but looking at all the other problems you have, a reinstall will definitely be easier. Therefore, please read this first:

(All of it: I’ll be adding an UEFI / BIOS section later)

Then go back to point 3 above.

Stéphane: I’ll ping you over there to verify anything I’ve written as you’re the EIF Guru here… :grin:
