New Install Error - Minimal BASH like line editing is supported

Support
1

Hello all,
My apologies if this has already been asked but I am running dual SSDs. One with W10 and the other with a new Manjaro KDE. I can use F12 and select to boot into W10 or Manjaro, but without pressing F12 at boot, it defaults to the black screen with the grub command line. Previously, I had Manjaro XFCE on the drive that has the fresh Manjaro KDE install. I tried changing the boot order in the BIOS menu but still the same behavior.

GNU GRUB version 2.04

  Minimal BASH like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completion. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.

My efibootmgr output…

Change the bootorder:

sudo efibootmgr --bootorder 0001,0004,0002,0000,2001,2002,2003

and set the wrong one inactive

sudo efibootmgr --bootnum 0002 --inactive

or delete it:

sudo efibootmgr --bootnum 0002 --delete-bootnum

TY! Done. Trying reboot. Fingers crossed!

Hmm, I’m still getting the same behavior. Looks like the changes didn’t reflect?

Nope nothing has been changed… change the bootorder at your UEFI then.
