Problem upgrading my system. I can not start X server

Hello,

Today I decided to upgrade my laptop. The size of this upgrade was about 700MB, including xorg, python, etc. A big one. I downloaded all packages and when pacman was checking system integrity, the terminal closes automatically so I try to upgrade again (with pacman -Syu order). After that pacman checked integrity again and then tried to install packages. Some of this packages showed an error at deleting files, so I tried to delete cache (with pacman -Scc) and then upgrade again (pacman -Syu). No packages need to be upgraded so when I restart my computer it can not be able to start X server.

Any idea?

Thanks!!

Any errors in the logs? What is your graphics card and what video drivers are you using?

There are a lot of corrupted packages. I think the best way is to reinstall the system.

Before you reinstall, try running

pacman -Syyu

It will force pacman to update the repos status.

Did you run out of space while updating?

No, I have more than 50GB of free space. I'm going to try pacman -Syyu and reinstall if not works, I think dhcp is broken too, maybe reinstall is the best solution.

Thanks all
