Hi @happy_m, and welcome!
That list does not seem to be from an updated installation, so it seems either:
- That list is from an older ISO; or
- it is from your installation which is unupdated.
And, AFAIK this command:
…should not list anything to do with:
Mine doesn’t:
$ pacman -Qm | grep bal
So it’s quite obvious to me that something’s messed-up there…
So I’d suggest the following:
- Download, dd/etcher/whatever a new ISO to a thumb drive and boot with that.
- Enter a chroot environment from there.
- Sync the whole system COMPLETELY
How to chroot
-
Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with a still supported LTS kernel.
-
Write/copy/
dd
the ISO to a USB thumb drive. -
When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment.
-
Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the
chroot
environment:
manjaro-chroot -a
- If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.
When done, you should now be in the chroot
environment.
But, be careful, as you’re now in an actual root environment on your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart.
Once you’ve chrooted successfully, run the following to re-sync the complete system:
pamac upgrade --no-aur
Reboot and see what happens. We’re not done if everything works, though, But test, and provide any and all errors you might get.
