[fixed]Arch stopped booting after attempting to update

I was typing to update the packages using yay, but (from what I remember) the "uni" package was conflicting and i tried to update excluding it. The system became somewhat unresponsive, and after exiting and restarting the session the problem still persisted. I rebooted the pc but now it is unable to boot arch

It gives me this error in red:

./systemd/sre/boot/10g.c:30@efi_assert: systemd-boot: Assertion 'BS-›AllocatePa ges(type, memory_type, n-pages, Baddr) == EFI_SUCCESS' failed at . /systemd/sre/ boot/util.h: 95exmalloc-pages, halting.

It seems to be the same error from this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=302698

But i already installed arch and i'm not trying to boot it from an usb

Re: [fixed]Arch stopped booting after attempting to update

Try booting via live USB, mount your system, arch-chroot into it like when you first installed it and try updating using pacman, not yay.

While you're in there, what is the output of "pacman -Qm"?

Re: [fixed]Arch stopped booting after attempting to update

I made the live usb, took me a while because of some broken amd drivers

This is what i get whenever i try doing anything with pacman in the broken partition

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.76: cannot open shared abject file: No such file or directory

I menage to update the partition using pacman from the usb instance but it still gives me the same problem from the first post when i try to boot it

This is the result of -Qm

Re: [fixed]Arch stopped booting after attempting to update

Can you share the contents of your pacman.conf file? I want to see what repos you have enabled.

Can you share the output of Journalctl? You can use the -b flag to select previous attempted boots.

Re: [fixed]Arch stopped booting after attempting to update

You can use something like this assuming internet access:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … ted_client

You can send text or files via command line and then it should return a URL you can manually note down, as they're usually short. So use one of those services if possible.

Internet access shouldn't be a problem, as soon as i get home from work i'm gonna post the url

Wile i was thinking about it, could i in the eventuality, reinstall arch on the root partition wile keeping the user partition intact?

Re: [fixed]Arch stopped booting after attempting to update

Or manually backup the files from /home and only keep what you need.

But yes a reinstall would likely resolve any issues, but its nice to know what the problem is in the first place or what caused it.

Re: [fixed]Arch stopped booting after attempting to update

Yeah i could also just back the files up

From what i seen it was an incompatibility with some library and mat-lab, i forced the update and it caused a partial update, even if i'm not sure why pacman still gives me error after removing the packages

Here the pacman.conf file:
https://0x0.st/8iij.txt

Here Journalctl -1:
https://0x0.st/8TTl.txt

Using journaltctl -b 0 gives me this error

Failed to get boot ID: Function not implemented
