I had a few problems after a Windows 10 update, who deleted GRUB, and other problems trying to install GRUB again. I solved this problems after asking for help in this thread:
Now, after installing again the kernel, GRUB finds my installation and the OS starts, but I don’t know if it bootloops or if it is just a GUI problem.
If I start Manjaro from GRUB, it shows the ASUS logo, then the cursor for like half a second, and then again the ASUS logo, and this repeats forever.
If I start Manjaro from Grub2Win installed on Windows trying to start the system while GRUB was not finding the Manjaro installation, I can see more messages since it shows the boot terminal with all of the messages. Then it shows the cursor for half a second, and come back to the boot terminal, and also this repeats forever.
The last messages I get on the boot terminal are:
[ OK ] Started WPA supplicant.

I saw that there are a lot of “Stopped Light Display Manager” and starting it again, so I’m thinking that the problem is with it.
I tried accessing other CLI with Ctrl+Alt+F2, 3 or others but I can’t.
To let you know what I’ve done before having this problem is:
I booted into a live USB and used manjaro-chroot to use the system.
I updated the system in order to reinstall GRUB, but somehow the kernel files were gone.
I installed the kernels linux54 and linux419 so that GRUB would find the OS again.
And that’s it. I just started Manjaro from Grub or Grub2Win and got this.
Someone have some ideas of what I can do to let my system boot? I can’t reinstall the system now since there are some applications with some configuration I made a long time ago and I need them all to complete my thesis.
Any help on this is appreciated, thank you!
