error: you need to load the kernel first
Press any key to continue...
Pressing another key does nothing to help the situation. My computer froze during an upgrade. Is there anything I can do to salvage it? I can go to grub or run memtest86+
please help. This is an encrypted drive as well, although the decryption works fine, wouldnt this make using a live usb impossible to help the situation? I think I need some help from someone who knows grub
Do you have a live usb with a recent version of Manjaro? You need to boot with the live usb and then try and use chroot into your system to finish the upgrade if you can. There’s a few tutorials on how to use it
The issue that I’m concerned with is that since my hard drive is encrypted, wouldnt I not be able to read my hard drive from the LiveUSB? Obviously I know the password to decrypt it, but I have no idea how to access an encrypted drive via a liveusb setting
I am trying to follow the guide with “How to chroot into an encrypted root partition”
The only issue is that there are a few little differences between his filesystem and mine. Understanding boot partitions and such is something I never really totally understood in linux and I am wondering if someone can look at my lsblk output and perhaps close the gap? Which of these is my boot partition?
Ok… Not trying to be spammy here. Sorry if I come off that way. However I have figured out how to chroot into my encrypted drive using df. It was mounted at /dev/dm-0
the only issue I’m running into now is… when I chroot into my drive, I do
sudo pacman -Syu
and it says there is nothing to do. That means the upgrade went through. What else could it be?
The solution is a combination of things posted here.
It doesnt matter if the drive is encrypted or not. Just mount it as normal, I just used Dolphin (from KDE), I clicked it, and it asked for a password. This mounted it in two locations. One which was sda1 (I think) was the encrypted version
then I did df to get the device location for the unencrypted version (which was something like/dev/dm-0), and mounted it to /mnt
then I used manjaro-chroot
manjaro-chroot /mnt
then I found some command that honestly made me a little worried because I never saw a pacman command look this complicated, but it did work, and all it did was reinstall the current kernel
