[SOLVED} boot stops at black screen
Hello,
After running pacman -Syu on Feb 21, my computer would not reboot. After the Artix splash, it said "login:", then went to a black screen. This helped once before, but not this time. I decided to embrace the opportunity of a clean slate and installed artix-xfce-runit-20230814-x86_64.iso. That booted and I ran pacman -Syyu, which starts with a series of questions like ":: Replace karchive with world/karchive5? [Y/n]". I answered "y" to all ("n" stops the update) After that, boot failed in the same way. Another reinstall; now I'm afraid to update! Things like keepassxc and libreoffice don't work presumably because libraries are not up to date.
Thanks for any suggestions. The system inxi is below. I'll be glad to provide more information if I can. I didn't think to save the logs from the failed boot, but if necessary I could go through the process a third time and save them.
