System not booting after running out of space during update

Mr_Teatime · 1 March 2026 21:47

I had not updated my laptop in a while, did that today (pamac update), and promptly ran out of disk space in the process. Unfortunately, I had no idea that this was happening, as I was running on TTY3, and only noticed that something was wrong when I was asked for my root password by pamac towards the end, and immediately got an error about my password being invalid, before even touching the keyboard.

I re-started the process, got the same situation (asks for password, immediately quits), and then I rebooted in the hopes that this could solve anything. I could have known, of course, but did not.

Now the only thing I see after leaving grub is a black screen. The laptop still reboots on ctrl+alt+delete, and I’ve managed to boot into a current Manjaro image.

Following this thread, I worked out that disk space was the issue, deleted some 30 GiB but still can’t boot
I’ve also used manjaro-chroot to rerun pacman update, but it found nothing to update.
I suspect, however, that some packages did not install as they should, since I can see a message about running out of disk space in the journal which is almost 30 minutes older than the last entry in pacman.log.

I’ve so far not tried to rerun pamac update since it serves me a warning against running it as root, and I haven’t managed to run it as another user, after manjaro-chroot – although I suspect that it wouldn’t help me with the boot problem, either.

I’ve also tried changing target runlevel in grub, with no visible effect. All later attempts at starting the system have not managed to produce anything that journalctl can show me.

I’ve tried running mkinitcpio -P for good measure in case the initramfs was damaged, also with no visible effect.

So, what now?
I suppose I could reinstall the whole thing (fortunately, all user data is backed up), though that’s a lot of work which I’d rather avoid. I expect that some package/configuration became badly mangled during the accident, but I’ve no idea where to start looking, since the early boot process is not something I usually mess with.

Please, supply full system information, use inxi -zv8

Paste the terminal output using the </> button.

Aragorn · 1 March 2026 23:07

Possible causes…

Too many old packages in the package cache under /var/cache/pacman/pkg. Better clean that out completely.
Too many btrfs snapshots. Remove most of them. You probably ran out of space if you have timeshift-autosnap-manjaro installed, which by default creates a snapshot both before and after an update.

Regardless of which of the two causes applies, you probably also no longer have a kernel installed, and thus no way to boot.

This is the result of how the update procedure works. Once the packages are downloaded but before the updates are applied, the kernel(s) and initramfs are deleted, and only at the end of the update procedure, they are recreated and the boot loader gets updated to point to the new kernel(s).

Advice…

Manjaro is a (curated) rolling-release distribution and should be kept up-to-date. If you cannot (or won’t) do that, then you would be better off running a so-called point-release distribution.

Tips…

bananamangodog · 2 March 2026 04:05

/var/log/pacman.log will give you some indication of what did or didn’t install.

Teo · 2 March 2026 07:18

Do not forget to balance the btrfs after deleting stuff, if you’re using this filesystem. Then - repeat the update, you might need to manually install kernel from chroot too. Pretty much everything is in the above links.

beermad · 2 March 2026 09:16

There’s a lot to be said for keeping the pamac cache on a separate filesystem to the root partition. That way your root should be far less likely to run out of space during an update.

ilenisaatio · 2 March 2026 13:28

Also, compiling (or is this different from “building” ?) can eat up a LOT of space temporarily. Many AUR-packages need to be, so if you have those, it might be the reason.

andreas85 · 2 March 2026 14:16

The update process normally checks before the update whether there is enough space to install all packages cleanly. Therefore, this is usually not the cause.

However, if AUR packages are also being updated “at the same time,” then, understandably, there is no reliable way for this process to test the disk space usage during the installation. This can very well lead to the installation of an AUR package failing (without cleanup).

A system that is 100% full often can’t even boot properly.

To be able to offer advice, it is then essential to know the system configuration. (inxi -czv8)

In this case, you should definitely not use pamac, but pacman !!!

Acor · 2 March 2026 15:48

You probably think my question is stupid: Have you tried selecting a deeper line in the Grub menu for an older kernel? That helped me once after an update.

andreas85 · 3 March 2026 17:52

Since the thread is now 2 days old and no system information is available yet, it will be hidden. As soon as system information (or other reasonable answers) is available, this thread will be made visible again.

Mr_Teatime · 3 March 2026 20:01

The partition runs on ext4, and I had too much old crap lying around that I meant to clean up. I’ve deleted 30GiB of that old crap.

Telling me to go away and use something else is particularly bad form.

Mr_Teatime · 3 March 2026 20:14

Yes, that would explain why it even ran into that state without warning me first…

As I stated in the first post, I’ve deleted 30 GiB worth of crap, so missing space is no longer the issue.

Whoah, that’s a lot of stuff! …I have no time today, will produce that tomorrow.

Thanks for confirming.

Also, SCNR:

Mr_Teatime · 3 March 2026 20:15

Yes, tried it. The result is the same, unfortunately.

Aragorn · 3 March 2026 20:33

That is not what I’ve said to you, so please don’t put any words into my mouth.

If your comment is about the essay I wrote, then you seem to have unfortunately missed all the other information in there, about keeping your system up-to-date and well-maintained.

tracyanne · 4 March 2026 00:56

@Mr_Teatime

Please supply the system information that was requested in the first response.

as stated by @andreas85

As soon as system information (or other reasonable answers) is available, this thread will be made visible again.

dmt · 4 March 2026 12:18

So fix the interrupted update. The link was in @Aragorn’s post, but here it is again.

Mr_Teatime · 6 March 2026 19:26

Okay, I acknowledge that you’re probably dealing with a lot of similar requests and were copy/pasting a decent part of your post. Fair enough.
Thing is: The first part dealt with how/or why my disk would have been full. I know why my disk was full, and I had dealt with it before writing my post, and mentioned that the space issue was fixed.

The “Advice” section can, depending on current mood, be paraphrased as “dude, if you can’t keep accidents like this from happening, what are you doing with Manjaro?” You probably didn’t mean it that way. However, that’s how it sounded to me. I’ve been using Manjaro for about seven years now, on several devices, I know what pacnew files are, I have a ventoy USB drive to hand at all times, and “are you sure this is the distro you want to use, because maybe you didn’t realize it needs maintenance” … that sort of advice acquires a certain tone in that context.

Whatever. You didn’t have that context, and it’s not like I always hit the best possible note. We’re all humans around here, it seems.

Back to technical issues
I’ve actually read through most of the posts on recovering from broken updates, before posting here, and the only thing I had not tried was the update-grub line from one of the posts you linked. The command ran through without any warnings or errors, but unfortunately, did not change the situation in any visible way.

Pacman still believes that everything was up to date (only updated Signal today), and that’s basically it.

I’m also fantastically pressed for time these days, so please excuse delays between replies. I’m still there, just not able to spend much time fixing this computer.

Coming up: the whole epic inxi dump…

soundofthunder · 6 March 2026 20:32

Be aware that update-grub is only a script that effectively updates the GRUB configuration. It should normally be used after using grub-install or install-grub, or modifying /etc/default/grub, for example.

On it’s own, without using it in an appropriate context, it does very little, and so if it

that’s not entirely unexpected.

We’re still waiting for the requested system information:

[Mini-HowTo] Provide System Information

Basic details provided by *-fetch type apps might give enough information for someone wishing to buy a computer, however, for Support purposes it’s best to ask your system directly.

Output of the inxi command will generate more useful and detailed information for those who may wish to help:

Suggested inxi command (use either):


`inxi -zv8`	(short-form)
`inxi --filter --verbosity=8`	(long-form)

man inxi (The inxi manual)

Command output should be presented as pre-formatted text in accordance with forum guidelines.

Running inxi within a chroot environment

Add --color=0 to the long-form command, or…
Change the short-form command to inxi -zv8c0

Your privacy is respected

Mr_Teatime · 6 March 2026 20:36

Okay, here goes the system info dump:

I wish there was a way to fold this, and I don’t quite get why “12” appears everywhere throughout the output. This happens only in the chroot environment, not when running it directly after booting.

Other potentially-relevant info: I can’t boot the Manjaro image via Ventoy using the “normal boot” option, but have to use the “grub2” option.

Hope this is useful somehow.

For good measure, here’s the pacman.log, starting at the last few packages that were still installed normally, shortly before error messages start popping up.
Accoring to the system journal, syncthing started complaining at 16:34:09 about lack of space in the disk (it’s set up to stop writing to disk when less than 1% is available).
The log ends when the update process stopped and I attempted to reboot. I was not in the room during most of the process, so I was still blissfully unaware that the disk was full, just a bit surprised that the process had apparently terminated a bit early.

I have a hunch there is some other logfile or similar that can tell me a lot more useful information – hints welcome.

Mod edit: Removed all the 12s. There could be some data missing as a result.
Thanks a lot, @BG405! Only noticed your edit when pasting in the output with the -c option.

You ran inxi in a chroot environment – the 12’s are an unfortunate artifact of having done that – scroll up and read the “[Mini-HowTo] Provide System Information” just posted, as it contains the workaround for that.

Once you have the clean output (without the 12’s) edit your post and replace the output.

Regards.
