My computer froze when I was doing a yay -Syu. After reboot my terminal was like this:
Eventually I tried to check my profile’s fonts and the MesloLGS NF is not rendering correctly:
I’m sure it is related to the the interruption of yay but I don’t know how to fix it. I lost all the cool autocomplete, history and highlights on my terminal. Can anyone please help?
First…
In general I wouldnt suggest using an AUR helper to upgrade your whole system.
While yay is not so bad at this and should pass the relevant commands to pacman …
I would avoid using a batch method even if your manager supports it.
That is to say - upgrade the regular repo packages first, then the AUR. ex:
sudo pacman -Syu
paru -Sua
That all said … you can check the logs to see where the interruption occurred. ex:
tail -n50 /var/log/pacman.log
Once you have the culprit you can remove the offending package(s) from the cache and reinstall them, along with reissuing the update. In the following example I will assume the problem is ttf-meslo-nerd-font-powerlevel10k but it will depend on what you find in the logs.
paccache -rvk0 ttf-meslo-nerd-font-powerlevel10k
sudo pacman -Syu ttf-meslo-nerd-font-powerlevel10k
There is a possibility that the locations the package installs to are malformed, so you may need to manually deal with those file or use the generally-avoided --overwrite flag, ex:
sudo pacman -Syu ttf-meslo-nerd-font-powerlevel10k --overwrite='/usr/share/fonts/TTF/MesloLGS-*'
yay -Sua
You can also top this off by making sure to reinstall everything, ex:
sudo pacman -Syu $(pacman -Qnq)
yay -Sua $(pacman -Qmq) --rebuild
Thank you very much for that reply. I first tried to find some offending package in the log but I couldn’t have a positive outcome. So I tried reinstall every thing. It said I had some conflicts with ttf-meslo-nerd-font-powerlevel10k. I tried to follow your instructions and now I have that font back in the terminal but not the highlights or the history like I used to.
When I try to reinstall everything I get new conflicts:

Should I just repeat your suggestion for every package or is there a better way to solve this?
I was able to solve it by overwriting manjaro-zsh-config with sudo pacman -S manjaro-zsh-config --overwrite '*'. Following: this thread
Thank you @cscs for the help
