My laptop went off while updating. Am getting this error when booting “Error: file `/boot/vmlinuz-6.1-x86_64’ not found”. I have managed to boot into manjaro live and access my encrypted disk but cannot boot from it.
I have dual booted with windows 10
When trying to chroot am getting an error:
manjaro-chroot -a
==> ERROR: No Linux partitions detected!
Manually mount needed partitions, chroot and reinstall kernel(s).
kindly explain
am a newbie here 
. followed some previous posts but seems am not getting the results.
Mount decrypted root partition to /mnt and your EFI partition to /boot/efi or wherever you have it in /etc/fstab, then run
manjaro-chroot /mnt
and rerun update and reinstall kernels.
Managed to chroot
[manjaro manjaro]# manjaro-chroot /mnt/myVol /bin/bash
[manjaro /]#
when running the update I get this:

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. ```Add --overwrite "/usr/*" to pacman command. And don’t forget to reinstall kernels.
By the way if you google parts of these (any) errors like “exists in filesystem” you’ll get plenty of info online.
And in the future learn to maintain the system. You have not taken care of the pacnews, and you have installed programs manually…or from aur but that is also supposed to be done from experienced users.
Could be just interrupted update. You’ll get those errors afterwards sometimes.
I followed this but:
Its just that your SDDM theme does not work with latest.
It should not really affect anything.
Choose a new theme.
Stuck how?
Just login?
If you really cannot and you need to change things you can use a command like
plasma-apply-lookandfeel -a org.kde.breeze.desktop
To set the global theme.
I key in the password and hangs
Someone kindly assist me to reinstall kernels and install grub
Still stuck
@cscs Thank you for sharing this.
I am getting this error
[manjaro manjaro]# mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /mnt/sys/firmware/efi/efivars
mount: /mnt/sys/firmware/efi/efivars: mount point does not exist.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
Is it maybe a (Traditional) BIOS and not a UEFI system?
It would be missing efivars then.
Not to make assumptions - things are kinda broken so we dont know if they should be missing or not.
I have gone ahead to run the following
[manjaro /]# efibootmgr -v
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
