Some software update via pamac is breaking the system, but I can't tell which one

I have a multi–boot PC with Windows, Manjaro and a few other Linux distros, but Manjaro KDE has been my main OS for 4 or 5 years. My Asus desktop computer has two internal drives, a SSD with a number of partitions containing only the operating systems and their software installations, and a 2 tb HDD called “Data” on which I keep all my data/documents. The Data drive is formatted NTFS so that it can be accessed from Windows as well as each of the Linux installations. This arrangement has been working well for me.

I keep my Manjaro rolling release up-to-date generally by installing software updates as they come in, one or two updates on most days, occasionally more than 100 at a time. Very occasionally, one of those updates “breaks” the system and I use Timeshift to roll the system back to a time before the update and simply don’t install that update for a week or two, and then things are usually OK - or sometimes if the offender is software I rarely use and don’t really need, I just uninstall that software. (You can probably tell that I’m not a very sophisticated user and don’t really understand the “behind-the-scenes” working of Linux or Manjaro particularly well.)

My current problem is this: I currently have 154 updates waiting to be instlled. Yesterday, I installed them all at once using the Pamac GUI system (a.k.a “Add/Remove Software”). After I had installed them all and rebooted (as required for some of the updates to take effect), I found that my Data HDD could not be mounted, so I couldn’t access any of my documents. At first I worried that I had inadvertently erased that drive, but when I rebooted into Windows, I could access all the data from Windows without problem. So I rebooted into Manjaro again and used Timeshift to restore Manjaro to a time before the updates and the data drive was accessible again. But now all 154 updates had been rolled back also.

The problem is that I don’t know which or those 154 updates is the problem. And here is where my lack of knowledge of the “behind the scenes” stuff comes in. I thought I had it narrowed down to a dozen or so items, but when I installed all the other updates and left those items out of the installation, the system still broke the same way and I had to roll back with Timeshift again. Rolling back with Timeshift takes a long time (almost an hour), so I don’t want to have to do it over and over again. I spent 7 or 8 hours yesterday trying to figure this out, to no avail, so I have decided to see if someone could help.

I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me on how to approach this problem. Thank you in advance.

If you can roll back without breaking the system I would suggest you do so. Then once back on the desktop use Pamac to see what updates you have and launch Konsole to actually do the updates. I use to just use Pamac for updates and adding software, but after so many times going to install something using Pamac and it failing then turning around and doning it in Konsol and it installing without issue I change how I install software and do updates.

just a guess because
I don’t know how NTFS behaves when it is not cleanly unmounted.
It could be that this happened when you rebooted after the update.
Then booting into Windows, Windows automatic filesystem check may have fixed the issue.

Did you try to access that NTFS drive before you proceeded to restore to a previous state?
It might have worked without doing that.

Thanks for your reply, Nachlese.

When I couldn’t access the NTFS “Data” drive in Manjaro, it was giving me error messages that seemed to imply that the drive was emply, which made me worry that I had lost all my data. So I then I rebooted into Windows and could access everything in that NTSF drive, so the drive itself seemed to be OK. I know from past experience, that when one goes out of windows and into a linux system, one has to completely shut down Wiindows and the computer; just selecting “reboot” doesn’t close the NTFS file system properly so then it can’t be accessed from a linux system. So I shut down Windows completely and then booted back into Manjaro, and that NTFS data drive still couldn’t be mounted. So then I rolled back using Timeshift and when I booted in again, it was OK. But, of course, all the updates were undone.

Thanks Locutus. Yes, I can roll back without breaking the system, and have done so. (Actually, I have done so 3 or 4 times in the last couple of days since this problem started, because each time I attempted to do the updates leaving out the ones I though might be causing the problem, it created the same problem again and I had to roll back the system again.

I could try using the Konsole but would appreciate your suggesting which commands I should use in the Konsole. I have done updates with yay in the past. I think the command was “yay -Suy” but I’m not sure. Also that installs all the updates that are available, so if one of them still breaks the system, I won’t know which one. And with 154 updates, installing them one at a time and rebooting after each one to see if the system is still OK will take some days.

Do you have another suggestion? Or if I do use “yay -Suy” and it breaks the system, is there a way to find out which update was the culprit, so that I can leave that one out the next time?

Thanks for any further help you can offer.
Martin.

sudo pacman -Syyu

AS for manually handpicking which updates to install and which to ignore simple don’t. Figure out which update is causing the issue and see what can be done to address it. Cherry picking updates is asking to cause even more issues.

I know from past experience, that when one goes out of windows and into a linux system, one has to completely shut down Wiindows and the computer; just selecting “reboot” doesn’t close the NTFS file system properly so then it can’t be accessed from a linux system.

Thanks Locutus.
I’m just about to leave to go our of town for a few days and will try this out when I get back. I’ll run “sudo packman -Syyu” in Konsole and see what happens. I’ll try to save the text output from the operation so that if the system gets broken that way it did before, I can post that output and see if anyone can help me figure out which software update is causing the problem.

Thanks Nikgnomic. I do have fast startup and hibernation disabled in Windows. I think the ArchWiki article that you linked to is probably where I learned to do that from, and also where I learned that I had to shut down windows completely and not just use “reboot” before booking into Linux.

Go ahead. Run that command. See what happens. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m with @Yochanan Run packman -Syyu and see what you get. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hi Locutus and/or Yochanan

Well… I ran “sudo packman -Syyu” and after the reboot the system was “broken” in the same way it had been when I ran “add/remove software” (the pamac gui) But after packman had finished running in the Konsole, I copied the entire contents of the Konsole into a text file.
Here it is, in case you or someone else can notice anything that might be causing the problem.

For me it’s almost indifferent from what update comes the problem. I think you don’t need to roll back, you just need to solve whatever is not letting you mount the partition. To mount a Windows partition is still a simple functionality regardless of the packages version. But maybe some setting needs to be adjusted. Anyway I would put my bets on something Gnome related.

I suppose you are mounting the Windows partition from Gnome, what error message are you receiving?
If you try to mount it from console/terminal, do you also get an error? What error? (if you need instructions to mount from console, just let me know)

It could also be helpful if you could give us information about your system partitions. For example the output of these commands:

sudo lsblk -f
sudo fdisk -l

And also to be sure. How is the data partition added to your Manjaro? Is it in the fstab file or you just mount it in Gnome when you need it?

I suggest you uninstall the following kernels that are no longer supported

5.14.21-2-MANJARO
5.12.19-1-MANJARO
5.11.22-2-MANJARO
5.9.16-1-MANJARO

Then try to fix the NTFS mount as already suggested – Fstab | Manjaro Wiki

First the two of us were teasing you cause there is no pacKman, it’s pacman. Running packman with do NOTHING. Second edit your post and code it correctly. Before you post your terminal output use ~ then post your terminal output then more ~ it will format the text like below.

Hello Christian, and thank you for your comments.
I have currently rolled back the updates because for the past week I have needed to get other work done which required me to have access to the NTFS Data volume and I didn’t have time to work on trying to solve this “technical” problem. But not, the pamac gui tells me that there are 156 updates available, and I would like get back to seeing whether I can solve this problem.
I had also put the original post regarding this problem on the LinuxQuestions forum and got some advice from “teckk”. His approach was similar to yours; he also suggested trying to fix the mouning problem rather than trying to find which update was causing it and eliminating that update. You can see the correspondence here.
The correspondence includes my attempt to mount the NTFS Data volume using teckk’s console commands and the error message I received. If I understand the situation correctly, to mount that volume, the system wants a file starting libhd.so.21 in the folder /usr/liib/ . That file is owned by a package called hwinfo, which is one of the packages being updated. When the update is performed, libhd.so.21.82 is replaced by libhd.so.22.1, and so the mount doesn’t work any more. Now, the pamac gui (also called “add/remove software”) gives information about the packages and shows that hwinfo is required by manjaro-settings-manager, which in turn is required by manjaro-settings-manager-kcm, which was explicitly installed. Does that mean anything to you?

By the way, I am running Manjaro KDE, not Gnome. The NTFS Data partition is set to automount on boot. (Does that mean that it is in the fstab file?)

And finally:

Thanks for the advice. I have now unstalled those outdated kernels.

The package hwinfo has been correctly updated. I have the same version and it is the version it should be. Actually, the “offending” command is ntfs-3g. It is demanding an old version of hwinfo library. What version do you have of ntfs-3g package? (pacman -Qs ntfs-3g)

Maybe you can try to reinstall it: sudo pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

SOLVED!!!

[martin@Martin-Manjaro-Desktop ~]$ pacman -Qs ntfs-3g
local/ntfs-3g-fuse 2017.3.23-1
    Stable read and write NTFS driver and ntfsprogs. This package will allow normal users to mount NTFS Volumes.

Then I installed all the updates – 156 of them – and then rebooted. This time, the NTFS Data volume mounted on boot, just as it should.

THANK YOU so much for your help. This problem had been annoying me for a few weeks. I admit that keeping my Manjaro installation competely up to date all the time is nothing more than a silly obsession of mine, but it was bugging me to see the available updates piling up and not being able to install them because when I did, it “broke” the system. So I really appreciate your patience with me and your clear help. (I guess I should also thank teckk on the LinuxQuestion.org forum; it was he who first introduced me to the ntfs-3g command.)
Christian, I have only posted a problem on this forum once before. The previous time was a year ago, in Aug '21, and that time it was also you who finally solved it for me. Long shut down (~3 min) and reboot, plus boot problems .
I definitely owe you a beer, at the very least! I was in Finland once, in 2005 for about a week, a few days in Helsinki and a few days in Turku, but I don’t know when or whether I will be back. But if you ever find yourself in Vancouver (Canada), please let me know and I’ll buy you that beer! (I’m in Toronto a few times a year, visiting my daughter and granddaughters, so that’s also a possibility.)
Cheers. Martin.

Good that you solved the thing! :+1:

What a coincidence! :smiley:

Yeah, of course! Thanks! No plans yet, but I want to visit Canada someday :slight_smile:
