Cachy completely broken. What's the problem?

linux-firmwire-amdgpu, pipewire-audio, quickshell conflicts with noctalia-qs. Snapper doesn’t see root btrfs. All broken

Why did you do?

yes, the noctalia-qs package conflicts with the quickshell package because they both provide quickshell. Noctalia is a fork of quickshell.

I only made manual updates via Update system. Nothing special. After one of them I got emergency screen. After that I load the last btrfs snapshot and tried Reinstall all packets, clear cache. During reinstall I found out that linux-firmwire-amdgpu, pipewire-audio and Snapper doesn’t see root btrfs.

Thats Cachyos !!! go with linux mint .. more stable

That’s not really a helpful comment.

I had a similar issue with the last update, It seemed that something couldn’t update correctly and the next restart it didn’t boot, I had to load a live USB and use cachy-chroot to fix it, after that it worked correctly

No, you are not allowed to make criticism on this page!? says cachyos are unstable.. and he will use linux mint.. Isn’t that helping??..

Pshh

CachyOS is not unstable, it is an ‘early adopter’ for some packages. I know people who have used Mint and had a worse experience. So No, it was not helpful.

Helpful is suggesting ways to find the issue and fix it.

No, you are not allowed to make criticism on this page!?

Nothing of that sort was said here. I am saying that the statement:

Thats Cachyos !!! go with linux mint .. more stable

is not very helpful. Maybe I should have said “This comment is not very useful if the user wants to get their system up and running again”.

My current system is running daily since 9 months. Hundreds of updates including kernels and a KDE Plasma update in-between.

The one week I could not boot was my own mistake.

So no, CachyOS per se is not unstable. Arch Linux tends to go weird when you mess config files up too hard and/or do things you don’t fully understand and/or can’t retrace the steps that lead you where you are right now. Which is why I keep a “diary” of my system and advise everybody to do the same.

But we are derailing ourselves here from the topic, OP still hat a broken system.

@datadigger maybe share the link that comes from sudo cachyos-bugreport.shwith us?
Together with the error messages that lead to linux-firmwire-amdgpu, pipewire-audio, and snapper being kaput?

And maybe even some

findmnt -t btrfs

and

lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT

People here need more info than just “all broken”.

What about @JimmyTwoTimes answer? If the packages conflict, they conflict. So get rid of the one you don’t want, right?

Others think different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngKZwijOuh8

yeah, the two packages provide the same service. So the user has to pick one or the other, as both packages provide files that occupy the same space, service, or function on the system.

How many videos you like to find ???

Actually, I’d rather help @datadigger than arguing the stability of CachyOS with you. You don’t like Cachy? Fine. Why don’t you discuss the stability of Mint in the Mint forum, and keep this forum a place of help?
