Black screen Post Update

Error: Kernel not installed.
Currently running: 5.6.15-1-MANJARO (linux56)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux510
[manjaro /]# sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux56
Error: You can't remove your current kernel. ```

Installed 5.10 but still not able to get a screen.

Okay something is fishy, it shows 5.10 in tty2 session but from chroot it shows that I’m still stuck with 5.6

Okay so I have been going through the documentation and certain threads similar to mine, and I think that it’s a driver issue (I’m kinda retarded tbh.)

after installing the new kernel, did you reboot, and selected it in grub menu - tapping esc during boot, and in advanced options selected 5.10

Look for errors in the journal, to ascertain what’s wrong: [HowTo] Find error logs


I thought we already mentioned it here, but actually not yet: the 5.6 kernel shown while chrooting is the kernel used by the liveUSB. Now you should only have the 5.10 in your system.

I decided to do a fresh install instead, and used the swap space and efi partition from last install.
Now I have the /home untouched, but I cannot access it due to lack of permissions.

Did you use the same user name as before?


No.
I just installed using the live usb, chose swap space as partition where my install is right now, and sda1 where efi partition was for the old install, got deleted.
Now I have a partition is untouched, and it’s the biggest one.
But I cannot access it.

you did what? well you could just do the install again, and now use the former partition where you had manjaro… thats the best you could do now

I’m done with the new install, I used the old swap space as the new partition for fresh install so that I don’t hurt my old partition where all the data is, but the efi partition for the old install got replaced by efi partition for the install.
Makes sense ?

And I cannot access the old partition now.

the 17.1 gb is where my install is right now.
It used to be the old install’s swap space.
Now I want to access the 915.2 gb space but it says this :-

provide output from:
sudo parted -l

so manjaro is installed on sda3? and youwant to access sda2 /run/media…?
try this command:
sudo chmod ugo+rwx /path/to/folder where path to folder would be: /run/media/[REDACTED]/3c1cc381-4735-4d46-860c-6

Worked like magic but I have to open each subfolder with this command now.

this is the whole command:
sudo chmod ugo+rwx /run/media/[REDACTED]/3c1cc381-4735-4d46-860c-6 just replace the [REDACTED] with the actual info from the lsblk command
