I had trouble updating in my initial post, so new topic.
I decided to give it one more try, again the cinnamon iso was the only one that worked, I saw another post speculating manjaro could have problems with just Intel’s UHD Graphics? I have no clue, but maybe a graphics setting got changed in the update? The cinnamon version worked until I synced, wouldn’t boot after that. Why only the cinnamon version would launch, is there something I could do for a work around?
I think I’ve narrowed it down. I didn’t update anything but Vivaldi, I restarted and it was able to reboot again. The black screen happened again when I updated alsa firmware. After that when I chose Manjaro
error: no such device: (a long hex number)
No idea about the first two lines, but I understand the 3rd.

you’re post is hard to understand, so let me ask a question first:
what is the actual situation ? can you boot into a working cinnamon session ?
The forum said “you can’t post links” with the output in the same post, here’s another try. in text only

I cannot right now. I would have to format the partition again and reinstall from the ISO usb. None of the other’s KDE, gnome, would get me to the installer.

i’m not jesus, without answer it’s sticking in the dark
I’ll try it. I haven’t been using any alt keys. just F12 and F2. I can hear the hardware for a while after I choose Manjaro, then it goes black. I’m not sure about what to do, grub or anything, but after I choose manjaro from the options, mint or manjaro on my system it goes black. Should I try the alt key’s in the menu do you mean? I will try it if that’s what you are saying. I am clueless about this stuff, mostly.
Oh, I think I catch you? I am a mint user, trying to move to manjaro. When something breaks, I reinstall the one version of manjaro that will work on my laptop.

that’s an information you hide from us first. how should we know that you tried to install a dual boot system ?
I’m sorry. I should have given that information. My bad.
Olli
23 August 2023 07:21
11
yes i already felt so. okay first step can you open the konsole/terminal and log into text-konsole (by ALT-F5) ?
I will try.
Okay, I hit ALT-F5 after I heard the hard drive start. Nothing. I then chose manjaro from my two choices, i pressed ALT-F5, when I’m guessing it was getting ready to boot. The error no device came after that. I could reinstall again, maybe get a snapshot before the firmware update? I am not sure how to proceed.
Olli
23 August 2023 07:55

no, you hit ALT-F5 when you arrive the black screen.
okay I’ll try again
No, definitely not. The same error as before, including
Olli
23 August 2023 08:11

before we proceed. are you able to boot into mint ?
it is my primary, I don’t have to do anything, just turn it on.
Olli
23 August 2023 08:22

a) so you can boot into a working mint ?
(a) I am on mint now. on b i don’t know, when it boot’s? idk. I have access to a termilal in mint.
