I replaced its motherboard today, any advice on how to update Arch after leaving it dead for this long?

Unexpected power loss 217 🙈

What does that code mean?

WT F?

Were you successful?

It can’t be because of the SATA cable, can it?
Everything looks normal on the surface.

Not sata, power

I assune my PSU is broken or something. 217 times is a lot

First check cables if you have others available

Well the cables comming from the power supply aren’t changeable but there are two power outputs: one for my SSD and one for my cdrom. I can swap them at least.

PSUs usually have more than 2 cables

Im using bspwm and picom

I wanna when right click no transparency and not show behind the right click windows
I read wiki and i changes some settings in picom.conf but i can’t get it.

havent tried it yet

yep this is why I avoid btrfs, it just can’t survived such incidents.
Try salvaging what can be read.
re install.

Yeah

5 in total, 2 usable others can be used with molex

you need to make a rule for dialog class in picom

Oh ok but idk how

well, as a wm user, you should read the manual of picom.

Well start by reverting your DVD of course

If it happened after an update then you can 1) downgrade the package that created the issue and see if it helps 2) check whether the issue is known upstream 3) wait until the regression is fixed

It doesn’t boot up and still get the same error. It should be tested to see which causes power loss. Is it safe to format the partition and install Arch again?

Of course the errors won’t go away. I’m not expert in btrfs so I don’t know how to fix it.

Yeah, but can a format be dangerous in this kinda situations?

There’s nothing dangerous in formatting apart losing the data

my home partition is alright, the problem is on the root partition.
