First off I am called whistlewright on freenode and a bunch of other places. Secondly, I use a Lemote Yeelong. Thirdly, I have some very lazy habits about updating. The Lemote had not been updated in six months. Wednesday night it took a very patient lukeshu more than five hours to help me get my computer up to sudo pacmam -Syu where it downloaded almost 600 updates. I went through the process up to the point where it told me about file conflicts with more than 100 of the files. Encyclomundi gave me a couple of hints on what to do with that but it was almost midnight and I have a 5am wake up call so I set the computer aside at the point where I needed to resolve the file conflicts. I left the computer powered on figuring it would be unwise to power off until it was updated as we removed initscripts during updating. Well guess what, the power went off or was not plugged in properly or the battery died or something. Anyway the computer powered off. So now when I boot it goes through a whole bunch of stuff so fast that I can't see what it is doing and then hangs up trying to find a window manager, which is dwm if it matters. Now I am at a total loss as to what to do here. I've not messed about with boot scripts and such. What do I do? I am relegated to using my phone and a tablet for the time being so my being in IRC for any length of time may be an issue as that app kills batteries.

I'd guess that even though there were a ton of file conflicts, they were coming from only a few packages. > So now when I boot it goes through a whole bunch of stuff so fast > that I can't see what it is doing and then hangs up trying to find a > window manager, which is dwm if it matters. I'm semi-surprised that it gets that far. I'm not familiar with the bootloader for mips64el, but add "systemd.unit=rescue.target" as a kernel argument from the bootloader. It should avoid loading the normal boot targets and instead ask you for the root password, and then drop you into a bash prompt, from which you can make repairs. Since it sounds like most of the boot process is going well, my suggestion is to look at the "graphical.target". I can't help you too much there; I have changed the default target from "graphical.target" to "multi-user.target", since I don't want to start X11 by default.

You will get a text console login where you should type root (as user) and your password when it asks you. (It will only show asterisks as the characters of the password for security reasons.) Then, you can type pacman -Syu.

With the last update I installed for Parabola GNU/Linux, I got a /boot/grub/grub.cfg.pacnew file. Since grub.cfg is a file that is generated on the computer using grub-mkconfig, I am not sure whether I should try to merge the .pacnew with my current grub.cfg. I ran grub-mkconfig again to see if it would come out different than my current configuration, but the file it generates is the same as the one I have. I rebooted with the update and GRUB still works. Is it safe to delete the .pacnew file? Thanks in advance for any help.
