Booting into Emergency Modus

How to access a TTY? Actually I have root access …
Im running nano /etc/defaullt/grub right now

What does that mean, exactly? :thinking:

I’m in console and did

# cd etc/default
# nano grub

saved the file “grub” after removing “text” and “noplymouth” and did
# sudo update grub
This produced few lines, the last one
/usr/bin/grub-probe: Warning: Unknown device type nvme0n1
Shall I try to reboot?

That’s normal and can be ignored.

Only one way to find out if the changes made any difference. :wink:

Done, but as far as I can see, the same picture:

Dependency failed for /home
Dependency failed for /home/nn/VirtualBoxVMs
Dependency failed for Local File System

Little bits and pieces of the log isn’t going to help us help you. Please see:

Is that // also a typo ?

Welcome to Manjaro! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

  1. Please read the information behind this link. It will help you to post necessary information. [HowTo] Provide System Information
  2. Please press the three dots below your post and then press the :pencil2:
  • If you give us information about your system, we can see what we’re talking about and make better suggestions.
  • You can do this by using inxi in a terminal or in console.
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
  • Personally identifiable information such as serial numbers and MAC addresses are filtered out by this command
  • Presenting the information in this way allows everyone to be familiar with the format and quickly find the items they need without missing anything.
  1. Copy the output from inxi (including the command) and paste it into your post.
  • To make it more readable, add 3 backticks ``` on an extra line before and after the pasted text.
    (Wisdom lies in reading :wink: )

I can run
journalctl --boot=-1 --priority=3 --catalog --no-pager
this shows issues for four device(s) /dev/disk/by-uuid… If there is a way to save this output (almost full screen) I will upload it here.

My Data-Device is /mnt/Daten. I can cd this and it shows all the files. Also I see the file f.e. in /var, /opt, /etc. Then I did

# cd /home
# ls

and it is empty.
Sorry, I’m dead for today and will follow up tomorrow …

Did you change /etc/fstab ?

No, but I double checked it now:

# cd /etc
# ls fstabb -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2854 05. May 2021 fstab
#

What can I do? I have a recent rsync backup for /home on an external USB-HDD; actuallly looks like this:

# cd /home
# ls -laR
.:
total 12
drwr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 7. Nov. 2020
drwr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 3. Nov. 10:27

Is it worth to copy it back? If so, how can I get the drive connected to tje system in emergencý mode?
I also have a timeshift backup:

# sudo timeshift --restore
...
7 > 2022-12-28 18-00-01 D

restore the timeshift …
or boot into manjaro usb, chroot, and compare uuids in
cat /etc/fstab
and
blkid
the ones in fstab should match the ones in blkid

This part first:
I booted the System > EmergencyMode > Enter password
So I’m logged in as root in /. I can run cat /etc/fstab and blkid, the outputs look similar with differences: blkid sows timeshift, fstab does not. But I found all UUIDs from fstab in blkid.
Would it be possible, to copy that output to show it here?

thats good if they match… you can take a picture of them and post it here…
and was your system working previously?
what did you do prior to this issue? updating/uninstalling/modifying something?


System was working fine after this issue.
Yesterday there were two updates (xnviewmap and zsh-shell…) which I installed via pamac, also no issue.
I was working on the machine, left for few hours shutting it down. After that, I started it and found the issue.

did you boot with the 515 kernel?
run this:
journalctl -b0 -p4 --no-pager
and take a pic of it…


UUID 36b… is /home. The myBook- and HDD2go-entries are defined in fstab for manual mounting (noauto).

you have there some errors on your filesystem, so that could be the reason… check the 5 line of the logs and run the e2fsck command manually:
e2fsck /dev/xxxx
where xxxx is the nvmp… that you have in the logs

Sorry, which nvmp? Tried nvme0n1p3 from line 5: "Is mounted, can’t continue …

the nvmp in the logs in the 5 line from top ends with p3
check with:
lsblk -f
is it the home partition, thats mentioned in the logs with uuid36be?

typo, please excuse me:
