System blackout after failed update 3.3.3 → 3.4.0 #4768
System detailsASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506HCB_FX506HCB. Omarchy 3.4.0 What's wrong?While updating from 3.3.3 to 3.4.0, the update failed with: no space left on device. Running fastfetch already reports version 3.4.0, even though the update did not complete successfully. I managed to cleanup some storage and use the Update > Omarchy action from menu to "continue update" but also result in another error (which I forgot to capture). After restart, the system becomes unusable. After login, the screen turns completely black. I found some error message when press Esc before entering the password Booting from snapshots also doesn't work, also result in blackout screen |

If you have an earlier snapshot available, try booting to it to ensure you're not booting to a failed snapshot. If you tried to run it again, that'd have re-snapshot at the beginning giving you a bad snapshot. Ultimately running out of space mid-stream is bad news. It's happened to me before on test devices so I understand how difficult recovery can be. Easiest path back is to find a working snapshot, boot it, restore, then ensure you have enough freespace to complete the update to 3.4.0 |

@ryanrhughes I've tried with a snapshot created back in Jan 9th, 2026 but still got the same result. Still a black screen. Is there any other way to resolve this?. Thank for your support |
i'm able to access system using Ctrl Alt F2, free some storage and balance btrfs and be able to access system now. but omarchy-reinstall got error conflict dependencies. anyone know how to resolve this? |

You can't have both tlp and power-profiles-daemon installed as they are in conflict (they basically serve the same purpose). If you want to keep Omarchy's defaults, uninstall the tlp and tlp-pd pckages. |

power-profiles-daemon is the standard D-Bus daemon to read and change power profiles (trickle charge, power efficient vs. best performance CPU/GPU) tlp-pd was originally known as 'Thinkpad Laptop Power' and I use it on my Thinkpad where I normally keep it charged to 50%, or view battery life details. Since 2024 and version 1.9 tlp-pd aims to be a modern complete replacement for power-profiles-daemon and its package declares itself to be in conflict with ppd. You can choose one or the other, but not both. My personal preference is ppd on desktop and tlp-pd on laptop. I use and like upower, a tool by the same team as ppd, to read bluetooth battery life on both. I use tlp-pd on my Thinkpad for historical reasons, but would try it on any laptop. If you do use tlp-pd, I recommend installing the main package tlp and using the gui tlpui.
