Hello.
I'm kinda unlucky. I reported bug 22828, having lot of problem with gdm which cannot be "killed" at shutdown time.
This morning, before going to work, I faced again this bug.
I had to switch to a tty (using ctrl + alt +F2).
I typed halt to stop my computer, but it won't shutdown properly.
I have to shutdown on my computer, using power button.
When I wanted to boot it again, it is stopped at the start of boot process.
I only get "linux:(none)" prompt and nothing more.
Any idea to avoid a full reinstall ?
are you sure it's the same issue? if you're using [testing], you most likely got hit by the bash/readline bug. chroot into your install (see chroot in archwiki) and downgrade those packages (bash-4.2.005 and readline-6.2.001) to their former version.
