As the title says, I started my laptop running Manjaro linux and I get the hibernation device UUID = XXXX not found error. ‘You are now being dropped into an emergency shell, sh: can’t access tty; job control turned off’.
None of the commands are working, not even sudo, grub, mkinitcpio, etc, absolutely nothing. None of the solutions I have seen online are working. I am sick of this and not willing to spend any time on this anymore, how do I just get the data from the storage and save it somewhere else so that I can wipe it with a new installation?
In grub, you should be able to edit the kernel parameters and remove the part that looks like “resume=UUID=40346435-d703-431f-801b-16e28237cd64 resume_offset=276393984”, and your system will probably boot. Then, once the system has successfully booted, you can probably edit /usr/default/grub
and remove those parts from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
line to prevent the issue from happening again.
I’m not 100% sure this will work, but it’s worth a shot if you just want a usable system. If you need hibernation, you’ll need to research it on the Arch wiki. It’s totally doable, and hibernation works for me after my research, but it’s definitely not a one-click process for the average user.
Where in grub? How to get there? when I vi anything, it shows an empty file. How do I just get the stored data in my device and move on?
When you start your machine, do you have a grub menu for about 5 seconds before your system starts ?
In that case, press [E] to edit and remove what @Buju told you.
I don’t I can only get into BIOS
You could start with a live system, chroot into your system, remove manually the unnecessary part in /usr/default/grub
and then sudo update-grub
, it should be ok
Spam/flood the Escape or Shift key right from when you power the laptop (tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap
) to force showing GRUB menu. From here do as said, press E to edit your startup command line, boot. Then you can either fix the system, or get your data.
The correct path is /etc/default/grub
.
Thank you a lot!
The Manjaro/Grub boot menu did not appear. I did as you said and worked the esc and shift key during boot …
Than I could select Advanced boot options or something and then select manjaro fallback to boot my system.
