Thanks to @[email protected] and @[email protected] I did try fixing it out of curiosity. I had forgotten to install linux-headers. Hopefully someone who actually has the same problem as me, and needs to fix it, can use the tips given in the comments. On my end, I just had to install linux-headers and one reboot later it worked.
Always check if you have all needed packages and don’t just “remember” that you had them installed.
It should be illegal to use pacman without
pacman-contribinstalled forcheckupdates(no risk of partial upgrades) and for comparing and merging.pacnew-files withpacdiff…It was today when I first heard of it!
Using Arch for ~7 years or so! Both servers and desktops. Always just manually
vimdiff’ed things.
