During the installation of latest updates through pamac my system went completely black, with only the underscore on the top left corner. I could still go into other ttys but it wouldn’t move past that. I rebooted and I get the message "Error file ‘/boot/vmlinuz54’ not found need to load kernel first. So I assumed the problem was with the kernels not being installed correctly due to the crash during pamac install.
I googled this and found this guide on how to chroot and fix kernels, which I followed, but at the point where I need to update kernels through chroot I get the error “error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)”.
How to proceed and get my system to boot?
Edit: I have Timeshift restore points available which I could use, but I’ve never tried that before.
