I had Windows and I added Ubuntu on the side, except that Ubuntu did not install on the correct driver. Grub was working then. Ubuntu did not convince me, so I installed Manjaro, on the right driver this time. Then I tried to remove Ubuntu as recommended on another forum (I formatted the corresponding partitions).
Now two points:
On the bios, Ubuntu still appear. It could be great if I could completely remove Ubuntu (the second point is more important).
Grub is not working anymore. I tried update-grub and grub-install, but I don’t know how to interpret the output. When I do grub-emu, it goes in the terminal of grub, which I don’t know how to use. I can still boot on Windows and Manjaro using the bios.
To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:
~~~
pasted text
~~~
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.
Instead of like this:
Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as descrribed above.
Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.
Please edit your post accordingly.

Additionally
If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:
LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl
This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.
As an alternative solution, I can reinstall Manjaro. But I want to be sure that the new installation will be working and will not have the same problem.
what exactly do you mean with grub is not working anymore?
and how did you reinstalled the grub?
did you chroot and then reinstalled it with these 2 commands for efi?
and you are also running on open source drivers on nvidia on the 6.1 kernel… any reason for that?
On a completely new and clean installation, it should be fine. And it might be quicker. It all depends on your comfort level. And I say should, because a lot can happen. If you decide to go that route, however, just make sure all your data is backed up.
That said, however, there is nothing like the high of conquering a problem like this.
But, sadly I can’t go on trying to help. My day is coming to an end this side of the world. So possibly someone else would be able to help.
When saying “grub is not working”, I mean that it is not launching during boot. Additional grub-emu goes in a terminal instead of the classical grub menu.
I went through the all page GRUB/Restore the GRUB Bootloader, including these two lines.
And there is no good reason for the drivers and 6.1 kernel (I didn’t even notice it). This is almost a new installation, which I didn’t modify so much.
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Manjaro"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash udev.log_priority=3"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# If you want to enable the save default function, uncomment the following
# line, and set GRUB_DEFAULT to saved.
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
Output of ls /boot/efi: EFI 'System Volume Information'
its not shown because its hidden…
open this: kate /etc/default/grub
and edit this line to look like this: GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
save it, update grub: sudo update-grub
reboot, and it should be shown now
you can remove the ubuntu entry: sudo rm -r /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu
then add the ibt parameter, since we are going to install nvidia drivers: kate /etc/default/grub
and in this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT inside the quotes add this parameter: ibt=off
dont remove anything from there!, just add it to existing parameters, save the file, update grub: sudo update-grub
also check if you changed it from hidden to menu…
install the nvidia drivers: sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
any errors post here…
now enable early loading: kate /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
and edit the modules section to look like this:
