Good morning,

I'm having an issue where I had just run an update through Pacmac on Manjaro Linux with KDE Plasma, and following the update I get a black screen with this message:

"The screen locker is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore.
In order to unlock switch to a virtual terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2),
log in and execute the command:
loginctl unlock session c24"

Ctrl+Alt+F2 didn't do anything, so I reset the computer (Lenovo T530). Now, I can't get past the boot menu and get the error:

"PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable".

How do I get to TTY from here?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I still haven't been able to diagnose this issue. I didn't think the error could have arose while the machine simultaneously developed a cable issue, but I did confirm the drive was not loose and tried a new drive. Same result.

Another thing is that I can boot into a USB with no problem, and test the hard drive. Everything checks out there as well.

Lastly, I removed the CMOS battery for about 10 minutes to reset the BIOS back to factory settings...

Anyone?
