[SOLVED] Stuck on boot screen

AnkushRoy · 2024-05-20 09:47:56

I was trying to install Obsidian using pacman, it was installing electron as it's dependency. Somehow it failed, I tried again it was successful now.....but soon I got to know nothing worked after that. When I tried opening obsidian it didn't open so I tried to open a new terminal didn't open again. Now in my previously opened terminal I typed obsidian when it gave an error and didn't open I tried using pacman which also didn't work. I tried to google in firefox found someone with the same problem but for some gnome application only, they fixed it with pacman commands if I'm not wrong. Seeing this I was afraid of this and I rebooted without taking any info of those errors. But my laptop didn't boot into arch.

Its stuck here:

Now, I tried installing firefox in my smartphone and syncing everything, it synced but...until the last error. I am unable to find the previously found fourm.

Fortunately I took a snapshot in my usb drive few hours before this.

FYI I only have this single usb which has timeshift backups, my brother also has another laptop that runs windows 11 if that can be of some use, I also had two kernels because some guy in the internet said it is good to have two but both are stuck at the same spot...

How can I proceed to fix the issue? I thought of making a bootable using the pendrive but I only have one with the backup in it.

Again, I'm not the expert myself using linux for about a year and installed arch about a week ago

tl;dr:
One pendrive with backup in it, stuck at boot after error with pacman. Have another laptop which can be used. How to fix? (see image above)

Additional info, I also have a friend who uses manjaro, he was also trying to install an electron based application, but it got failed too, his mouse and keyboard were not working and after a force reboot everything was fine.

use ctrl+alt+f2..f3 login and get dmesg logs, and others possible logs of modprobe to help us please

I'm sorry for the late reply but it was fixed when I ran timeshift restore. Had to borrow a friend's usb to make a bootable and yk...., anyway thank you very much for answering and sorry I did it without answering you, still I wonder what that problem was and where can I find the best practices for using arch so I don't go and break it time to time
