Certain laptop CPUs are not adequately supported on linux.
This is really sad. I found almost all **Intel Kaby Lake R ** processor suffer this problem.

What the hell is going on????
Last night, I run pacman -Syu
update and let it run overnight.
it failed when I woke up, I didn't notice it and restart for newer kernel. Then the WM (sddm) fxxked up. I try to reboot it into mutli-user mode and reinstall kde plasma. it shows bunch of corrupted libraries errors LOL.
I took some time on internet looking for solution, finally found one. Reinstall all dependencies + pacman update cache in ram. https://www.reddit.com/.../recover_system_from_crash.../
pacman -Qqdn > pkglist_deps.txt
pacman --asdeps -S $(< pkglist_deps.txt)
pacman --cachedir /tmp/pacmancache -Syu
Exact issue like them:

I need to find a way to let pacman check free space before update as for now, I will use /tmp as cache
Error I got libxxx.so is not an ELF file xxxxx file is already exist, cannot process the update
Thank you for your share! I've seen those links before, no luck.
