so thanks some people here have helped me multiple times in the last 6 or 8 or 10 years.

I'm still stupid, and now all I had done was turn on bluenab-applet in a last ditch effort to save my rk84, and it did thing, to my surprise it worked perfetctly!

It also effectively bricked this $1800 laptop

Control D yeah sure, root password types it twenty was to sunday.

The only question I was about to ask is whether you could come back and edit this post tomorrow morning after you sober up.

You're either drunk or in desperate need of https://deepl.com/

From what I can tell the system doesn't boto and drops you into an emergency shell for some reason and you cannot enter it because the root account is (or was) locked in the initramfs.

=> Boot some live distro (or the install iso) to fix the system from there.
As for why you're dropped into the emergency shell, you'll have to provide information on the preceeding error, in doubt link (don't embed!) a photo of the display showing it.

Please make an effort to continue this in coherent English, we're not gonna be able to identify the cause by plucking it out of some word salad.

If root password no worky, maybe layout is wrong. Penguin default to US keyboard layout, so if $1800 was metaphor and you actually spent złotys or euromoneys, then perhaps special characters and y/z are swapped around.

If ability to view html is worky, try https://keyshorts.com/blogs/blog/us-key … ed-to-know

Alternatively try BIOS/UEFI settings, thinkpad does harbor woodoo in settings, can change layout in BIOS without swapping woodoo board hardware.

Ultimately you should go find computer workee and create Arch installer on USB and fix from there. Always have your magic fix stick around. Update fix stick every six months.

Please ask thiinkpad to answer for you, so we know you still worky.

And the answer to my question is a resounding NO.

@chrisco23, your posts are unintelligible - I can look at isolated tokens and guess what might be the immediate problem (can you boot a live system) but if you want to get this fixed, we'll some coherent representation of the issue. Otherwise it'll just stay the way it is and almost everyone in this thread will be ok with that. Your choice.

chrisco23 · 2024-09-09 13:40:49

fair enough. I will have to attack this thing again after I must let it lie for for a bit. Thanks again for your time and ideas and patience, will keep updated here.
