After swapping my GPU from a GTX 1060 to an RTX 3060 and unplugging then re-plugging my 2 ssd’s I am unable to access manjaro. when trying to boot it just takes me to a black screen with a white underscore on top. So I thought it was the gpu so I swapped the GTX 1060 back, but the issue stayed.
The nvme has manjaro on it. While the 2 ssd have windows on it, only one works (crucial works, but the kingston one does not it was a failed attemp at a windows installation I think). I can still boot on windows with the RTX 3060. Also previously I had another RTX 3060, but with 3 fans this is one is 2 fans (for a future small build) and it worked fine.
Right now I booted from a live USB. I tried to reinstall grub with these 2 commands I mounted my nvme, -p /mnt/boot/efi and my sdc1 or windows ssd.
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck --no-nvram
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
but it didn’t work. The output
sudo: unable to allocate pty: No space left on device
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
