Grub not registering OS’s after updating

Support
1

After following a tutorial to fix something (can’t remember what exactly) it recommended me to do the command grub-update. After rebooting after this, my system launches with the error:

error: can’t find command ‘fwsetup’.
Press any key to continue…
Failed to boot both default and fallback entries.
Press any key to continue

And after continuing both my Windows and Manjaro options were gone. I don’t want to try and fix stuff myself with my limited knowledge as I would probably break stuff further.

Welcome to Manjaro! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

  1. Please read the information behind this link. It will help you to post necessary information. [HowTo] Provide System Information
  2. Please press the three dots … below your post and then press the :pencil2:
  • If you give us information about your system, we can see what we’re talking about and make better suggestions.
  • You can do this by using inxi in a terminal or in console.
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
  • Personally identifiable information such as serial numbers and MAC addresses are filtered out by this command
  • Presenting the information in this way allows everyone to be familiar with the format and quickly find the items they need without missing anything.
  1. Copy the output from inxi (including the command) and paste it into your post.
  • To make it more readable, add 3 backticks ``` on an extra line before and after the pasted text.

You can also use Maxi

to collect information about the boot process. This works,

  • when you are in your running system (with CTRL+ALT+F2).
  • And also in a live environment
maxi -gepkm

I’ve posted the information on the origonal post. Thanks for the quick response. Hopefully this can help you find my issue.

Please, boot with a Manjaro liveUSB, execute the command manjaro-chroot -a to enter your Manjaro system and execute and post here the output of the command: update-grub

Thanks, this is the output:

update-grub is no finding kernels and I’m not sure why.

One possible explanation is that although your system is installed with BIOS, you are booting the liveUSB with UEFI. You have to boot it also in BIOS/Legacy mode. Try to find in your system’s boot menu the right entry to boot the USB in BIOS/Legacy.

Please, show also the content of /boot folder after executing manjaro-chroot -a. You can show it with:

ls -al /boot

Changing the boot of the usb to BIOS/Legacy mode fixed it. Thanks so much.
