Issue started with playing around video settings with envycontrol -S hybrid
See Android tablet or phone display on Linux Manjaro Laptop with SCRCPY
See also my Manjaro Cinnamon boots into black screen.
Then I changed my laptop with envycontrol -S nvidia, and it worked fine. Thanks to the forum hero’s.
Now I experienced with the “envycontrol -S nvidia” setting, the laptop refuses to operate my wished scrcpy. I do want to show Android apps by use of my laptop on a big screen for an audience
Switching from “envycontrol -S nvidia”, to another setting I first did try envycontrol -s integrated
On the Lenovo laptop I did # envycontrol -s integrated. Result : Black screen. With CTRL ALT F3, login in as hans, and startx, Manjaro showed up !
So I was able to change the setting once more : Same trick but now with “envycontrol -S hybrid”. Result : Manjaro booting goes bad. I managed to come into grub>, played a bit around. Commands to investigate ,found on online manuals, do work.
Managed to mount an external harddisk to backup.
I did a grub recovery a long time before on Linux Mint, with /dev/sdxn devices
Now I have a GPT system with (see below) with /dev/nvme0n1pn devices
The proposed manual
feels to difficult. It keeps too many questions open for me.
Please help me out.

- Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH05
- How to repair or install boot?
- Lenovo Ideapad 5 14ARE05 hangs on boot, except in single user mode
Thanks in advance.

Using fdisk -l and grub> ls (hd0,7) :
theharddisk = /dev/nvme0n1
the harddisk partition x = /dev/nvme0n1p1
the harddisk partition x = /dev/nvme0n1p2
the harddisk partition x = /dev/nvme0n1p3
the harddisk partition x = /dev/nvme0n1p4
the harddisk partition x = /dev/nvme0n1p5
the harddisk partition x = /dev/nvme0n1p6 = datalinux
the harddisk partition x = /dev/nvme0n1p7 = manjaroroot
