System stucks on "/dev/sda2 : clean..." after upgrade

Today I upgrade the whole system by doing pacman -Syu, after that my system doesn't initiate anymore, it stucks on a black screen with this message.

Starting version 244.3-1 arch
/dev/sda2 : clean, 157559/3276800 files, 2638285/13107200 blocks

sda2 is my root partition, normally this message would show up for like 0.5 secs and then my system would start as usual by starting first lightDM, but this time it stucks there forever.

I'm able to use tty mode, so I could get the journalctl output, I managed to found the exact line from when I did pacman -Syu in the journalctl output but still after that line there is too much text and it seems there isn't a way to mark text blocks as spoiler here, so what should I search for in that log file?

Re: System stucks on "/dev/sda2 : clean..." after upgrade

See the tip box from pastebin to post the journal for a boot with lightdm failing.
Edit:
Also the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log

@Ghost-Order,

By any chance, do you know answers to these: Do you have Intel graphics card and have you upgraded kernel after about a month or so (say from 5.6.x to 5.7,x)?

I do have Intel integrated GPU but I just migrated from Manjaro to Arch like 5 days ago (clean install) so the upgrading kernels you're mentioning doesn't apply in my case right?

This looks suspicious:

No issues, it seems you are using NVIDIA hybrid one..  there is a separate issue with i915, which may not be impacting you.

Re: System stucks on "/dev/sda2 : clean..." after upgrade

The Xorg.log is from an old boot.  It shows the nvidia driver loading which means the nvidia kernel module is loaded but the journal does not show any messages from the nvidia module loading.
The journal and lightdm also show the service failing in under a second but the Xorg.log covers over two hours.
What was include in the system update (/var/log/pacman.log)?  Have you got any packages on ignore?

That's wierd because there in the /var/log directory are Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old and I upload the first one to ix.io

I don't have any packages on ignore (I guess that is something you manually configure in pacman and I didn't touch anything realted to pacman really).

Here is the output of  pacman.log after the upgrade order I did today (sudo pacman -Syu)

Did you read the output yourself?

Re: System stucks on "/dev/sda2 : clean..." after upgrade

You installed the system a week ago with no packages on ignore but the kernel is 5.5.7.

Aug 02 10:39:29 ghost-pc kernel: Linux version 5.5.7-arch1-1 (linux@archlinux) (gcc version 9.2.1 20200130 (Arch Linux 9.2.1+20200130-2)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat, 29 Feb 2020 19:06:02 +0000

I realized about the libicuuc.so.67 error, yes. I was precisely searching for that and I found this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=255261 in there the "v1del" user in the #4 post says that problem occurs because an incomplete update so he advised to update the system. It was rare because the first time I tried to do that, pacman said me there was nothing to do but after some minutes I tried it again and then it showed me a bunch of packages to update.

So yeah it seems the first time I updated my system today in the morning for some reason it wasn't a complete upgrade, I get that there are some errors my first update log as jasonwryan pointed out, but the amount of packages that appeared to me in this second update were like 50+ 

The only problem I see now is that before this update, my system stucked in the /dev/sda2 : clean part for like 0.5 secs, now it is like 3 - 4 secs, but at least the system loads, I would like to know what's the reason for that incresing in the load time at that point of the boot but I guess that is an issue for another topic/more self search on the web.

Edit: Steam doesn't initiate anymore, keepassxc (a password manager app) have their gui completely mess up, tried reinstalling it with pacman but is still the same.

Re: System stucks on "/dev/sda2 : clean..." after upgrade

Linux from a week ago would be 5.7.11.arch1-1 but your system is using 5.5.7-arch1-1 from end of February -  start of March.
If that is what the mirror is offering the mirror is out of sync.
