    I dl the latest xfce Manjaro, backed up my stuff and did a complete format and reinstall. This time the default for the installer was one big partition plus a small swap. This seems best for me as i had no idea what to do when the root dir ran out of space. As predicted here, freeing up the space got rid of the boot error, my sys is up to date, and i was able to dl my printer software... and its running great! Many thanks!peace-bill

Have you checked available drive space.  Each problem seems related to running out of room. Try "df - Th" and make sure yoy have enough room to download and apply updates.
