it should be disabled i have never enabled it and everything worked before this
update
Edit: I checked and it was disabled
I’m very much out of my depth here - perhaps reinstall grub
(again from within chroot)
I have never experienced anything like it as a fallout from a simple update.
There is a howto or wiki or root tip or whatever it is called here on this forum.
Probably the easiest is to install install-grub within chroot (should work). Then use that to (hopefully) automatically fix GRUB issues.
can you explain that a bit more detailed, i am trying to pacman -Syu grub and then grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck tho my current efi folder is that normal
It would be:
pacman -S install-grub
then
install-grub
as far as I know. I’ll check on this as I don’t have that package or its man page on my system yet.
ok so now when i try to install /grub i get this>
WARNING: EFI directory not found! Grub couldn’t be installed.
Are you in chroot when you do this?
cat /etc/fstab
ls -al /boot
ls -al /boot/efi
Yes I was in chroot. I will be in a meeting for the next hour or so. I will try afterwards and if nothing works I suppose i will have to reinstall the os
That is always an option - if you can’t figure out what went wrong and we, from a distance, with our questions, can’t either.
There is also snapshots (timeshift …) which would enable you to just go back to when it was working and have a go again …
Wild guess. Could .pacnew files be causing an issue…?

idk how that would work since the update installed fine but maybe idk

i dont see an easy way to fix you can mark this as closed i will have to salvage what i can and install the os again
mkay
noted -
won’t try to advise on possible fixes anymore.
except:
(you already know)
save the contents of /home/$user
and perhaps any system configurations in /etc/*
not having to start from scratch has some value
