I updated my system 3 hours ago, then closed by the case button before it finished. I got back home and surprise, I try to boot, gub errror.

I grab my arch live usb, but it has a broken installation of void in it.
I proceed to use RUFUS to burn an image of arch. But hey, i dont have the image. My key is 1gig only, so i go on archive.org to find an old one. I burn and boot into it.

I chroot into my arch. My keeb's shift doesn't work and I need to do pacman -S linux. Capital S.

God got my back and in my .bashrc, I found a capital S.
I deleted the rest of the alias, keep the S, source it and run the command.
When building initcpio, NVIDIA driver somehow is missing.
I insall it using the same method. I update with -Syu instead of -S linux.
I reboot. It works.

Now lvm and clang are already there. I overwrite.

7 heart attacks at least.

    Haha, 1gb key USB drive and a shift that doesn't work. But you have two shifts and a capslock.

    But anyway respect, nice story!

    That's really amazing. You must have turned it off when the Linux kernel image was written but the initramfs was not.
    mkinitcpio can usually fix this too.

    Shift keys and caps lock not working is even weirder. Bordering on impossible.

    @hjk101 they don't work on Linux or live iso, but it does on windows.
