Hello everyone !
So to set a bit of context, my Solus Budgie (current) install has always been a bit buggy. It often freezes on shutdown or reboot and hangs on forever, it also refuses to start certain applications sometimes (usually discord, the file explorer and firefox), and some other minor buggy stuff. I run Solus' latest version on an overclocked AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU and it is usually stable.
Now today, after letting it run with a 100% CPU load for a few hours, I rebooted in order to clean the memory (I have noticed it tends to crash more after long duration high CPU loads). On bootup, I noticed my taskbar was entirely black except three icons on the bottom right.
I rebooted again but it froze instantly, until I force restarted it using the power button. Every reboot after this has had the same problem.
I naturally opened a terminal and ran sudo eopkg check and sudo eopkg rebuild-db
The first command returned errors for the following packages :
util-linux, evolution-data-server and libiptcdata
I ran sudo eopkg install --reinstall for all of those, it worked and returned confirmation, but visually nothing had changed, so I rebooted again.
However this time it booted in emergency mode after I typed in my LUKS encryption password.
I ran sudo usysconf run -f and everything returned a positive output at the exception of system-fsck-root.service loaded failed failed file system check on /dev/disk/by-uuid/ followed by the string of numbers that names my main drive.
I then ran fsck /dev/disk/by-uuid/ and the same string, it worked and then I restarted using reboot command.
The next and last restard, unfortunately, is the worst one. The system boots on a message saying :
`broadcast message from systemd-journald@solus (time and date)
systemd[1]: caught <SEGV>, not dumping core
broadcast message from systemd-journald@solus (time and date)
systemd[1]: Freezing execution`
From there I am kinda lost. I am no computer expert and usually I prefer not bothering people on the forums, but this is my main install and it all worked properly until today, so I think there is hope !
What would you suggest trying to do next ?
Thanks to all those who will put even the slightest time in trying to help, I'll do my best to cooperate !
Specs : Ryzen 3 1200
NVIDIA GTX 1060 OC
16GB RAM
EDIT : I tried booting from a live Solus MATE USB but my drive is LUKS encrypted and I didn't even manage to get past the login screen of the bootable.
EDIT 2 : After a few other reboots, it started to ask me for my LUKS password again, and I can now "successfully" reach emergency mode everytime. I don't seem to get the whole broadcast systemd thing anymore.
