A few days ago i installed linux 5.19 but my system still booted into 5.18 and it remained the only option in the bootloader. After deleting it ( foolish, i know ) the bootloader detects no kernel and i have to manually tell grub to use the current one by rewriting 5.18 into 5.19 every time i boot my system
I already tried grub-update before and after deleting the old kernel to no effect
How did you install it?
How did you delete it? Btw, grub-update doesn’t exist.
Post output of:
pacman -S linux519 linux519-headers
Hi @GunpowderGuy,
That was indeed foolish, but at least you can still enter your system. Please provide the output of:
cat /etc/default/grub
@zbe i install and delete kernels via settings manager in kde
i meant to write update grub, not grub update

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:
pasted text
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.
Instead of like this:
Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.
Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.
Please edit your post accordingly.
It might help to reinstall the kernel(s):
mhwd-kernel --install linux519
And
mhwd-kernel --listinstalled
Will show you which are installed.
If you wish to see and select other kernels for booting, you must select them from the Advanced… menu, they don’t appear in the normal menu.
~ sudo mhwd-kernel --install linux519

[sudo] password for diegor:
Error: You can't reinstall your current kernel. Please use 'pacman -Syu' instead to update.
~ mhwd-kernel --listinstalled 1 ✘
Currently running: 5.19.1-3-MANJARO (linux519)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
* linux519
* linux519-rt
~
I don’t know why it says that because you should get a polkit prompt to ask for the password.
Anyway, reinstall 5.18 the same way:
mhwd-kernel --install linux518
Then check in GRUB. If necessary using the tip I provided earlier.
you mean checking the advanced menu? my current kernel doesnt appear there either only 5.18 despite no longer being installed
