Black grub with no manjaro option and black screen when booting in Manjaro i3 from BIOS

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 13:11

Hi there, after Manjaro last update yesterday I’ve been having some problems.

All started when I tried to run manjaro normally after restarting and after updating. This ended up with a black screen after grub, no login screen, just black. At this time I was using the kernel linux515.

Then I tried to fix this by trying to installing the linux519 kernel, however, this didn’t fix the problem (at this time I have also re-installed the video-nvidia pci non-free drivers and I have uninstalled the kernel linux515).

This didn’t work … I then tried to edit the grub and I removed the “quiet” part. This got things worse. Now the grub is black, and also when booting in manjaro a black screen appears. I tried to restore my grub, but now when installing the grub no Manjaro or windows (I have dual-boot) entries appear on it.

Now I don’t know what to do and I don’t know how to fix this :'), any help is appreciated, thanks… Btw, I use lightdm and i3wm.

Outputs that could be useful to debug this:

From live-usb and then doing manjaro-chroot -a:

mhwd-kernel -li

I tried to install linux60 kernel with linux60headers and linux60-nvidia drivers but I had no luck unfortunately

brahma · 6 October 2022 13:33

rerun update again from chroot:
pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && pacman -Syyu
also your grub menu is set to hidden:

so change it:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
update grub:
update-grub
reboot and see if it helped
if not check if you can boot directly from bios boot options

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 13:59

Thank you for your answer.

I don’t think that this:

GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden

could be the problem though. I have checked the grub file on another laptop where Manjaro is installed, and the GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE variable is also set to hidden. I will try this anyway.

Blockquote if not check if you can boot directly from bios boot options

I have done that and when I boot on Manjaro I get a black screen, no message, nothing.

brahma · 6 October 2022 14:05

if its set to hidden, then grub menu is not being shown during boot …
so if you can boot into windows using bios but not in manjaro, you probably need to reinstall grub … but first provide output from logs, from chroot:
journalctl -b-1 -p4 --no-pager

did you rerun the update? were there no errors?

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 14:13

That’s is weird then - I can swear that my laptop have the hidden option and it shows me the grub. Correct, I can boot into windows using BIOS but not manjaro. When I was in manjaro-chroot I have rerun the update and there were no errors. I checked the packages that were updated (because I have almost the same config and same kernel version on my laptop) and the kernel (linux515) and its driver were updated. I wonder if that’s the reason of the blackscreen when booting into Manjaro. I will send the journal once I’m at home.

518 kernel is end of life… so lets reinstall kernels, drivers and grub:
remove nvidia:
mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
remove the kernels:
pacman -R linux518 linux519 linux60
install the 5.15 & 5.19:
pacman -S linux515 linux519
install nvidia:
mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
reinstall grub:

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck

update it:
mkinitcpio -P && update-grub
then change the grub to:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
update grub:
update-grub
reboot and see if it helped

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 18:48

I got a bitter taste after this. GRUB works, however does not show Windows. When trying to boot either on linux515 or linux519 then I get a black screen and I’m unable to enter TTY. I went back to the live usb and run manjaro-chroot -a, now I’m getting this message:

===> ERROR: No Linux partitions detected!

brahma · 6 October 2022 18:59

but the kernels were detected in grub?
post output from:
lsblk -o PATH,PTTYPE,PARTTYPE,FSTYPE,PARTTYPENAME

the windows is not detected bc of reinstalling grub, and would be detected if you would run again sudo update-grub from succesfull boot into manjaro…

and can you boot into windows using bios?

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 19:05

Yes both kernels were detected in grub. However, both show a black screen after selecting them.

I can boot into windows from BIOS.

Let me check if I can login into the forum from palemoon in the manjaro live usb and I will send you the output of the command you mentioned.

brahma · 6 October 2022 19:17

when you were installing the kernels/nvidia/grub, was it all successful, no errors?
can you view/browse files in your installation from live usb via the file manager?

everything is detected… which partition is manjaro (root) - sda7 or sdb2?

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 19:29

no errors. All fine.

I have installed thunar, and mounted the drives and then run manjaro-chroot -a and now it works fine.

carcamovski · 6 October 2022 19:29

It’s the sda7 partition

brahma · 6 October 2022 19:31

excellent, wanted to chroot manually…
so post output from:
inxi -G
and again logs:
journalctl -b-1 -p4 --no-pager

also check with mhwd -li if video-nvidia is installed

this is the issue …
open again the grub file and in this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT inside the quotes add this parameter:
ibt=off
save the file, update grub:
update-grub
reboot and see if that helped
