(Bonus update) I’m back on KDE6 and it’s actually working! I ran Cinnamon for about a day before missing KDE and tried a fresh install of EndeavourOS. It worked fine, Wayland still doesn’t work but I’m only getting minor bugs with x11 compared to when I tried to update from 5.27

(Update) Well finally back on my desktop but sadly not on my original install, Thanks for all the help and advice! Sadly every path just sent me into another brick wall, I’m starting to think my drive itself is physically failing as I couldn’t mount it in chroot and even had trouble reformatting it…I’ll keep an eye on it and not save anything important to it.

I’ve decided I’m just not cut out for vanilla Arch just yet and gone back to Endeavour but this time with Cinnamon (for now) Thanks again!

After upgrading to KDE 6 and experiencing too many bugs for it to be useable for me I went back to a snapshot I made right before upgrading.

Now I’ve spent half my Friday tracking down different systemctl errors and trying to fix corrupted conf files from live USB environments, physically unplugged all but my nvme boot drive.

Rn I’m in a situation where I’m getting

[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot. See ‘systemctl status boot.mount’ for details [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File System.

Then it’s asking to give root password or press control-D, which I’ve dealt with before but this time my keyboard just doesn’t work

I tried to just sort it myself reading the Arch Wiki before begging for help on forums but I’m kinda at my wits end, This is a pretty new Arch installed and the first time using btfs on my main drive, I last updated maybe 4 days ago before today. I’ve also successfully restored from timeshift snapshots on this install before without issues.

Any help where to go from here would be great, thanks in advance.

    Check your /etc/fstab and uncomment all drives you have unplugged. But not sure if that helps in your case, beceause it cannot find /boot? I’m no expert, so not sure whats going on. Check if EFI or like that is installed on an unplugged drive.

      I did that, I’ve had issues with fstab before giving me a similar error, but normal I can fix it from the tty still.

      But this time not even my keyboard works so I had to go into a live Mint USB I had laying around to change it. #'ed out any drive that wasn’t my main NVME
