I succesfully installed manjaro(kde) alongside windows 10 but when i clicked the reboot now button. It did not boot into grub/manjaro but windows directly, I restarted in order to manually boot into manjaro through the boot manager but manjaro was not there in the uefi boot menu(for some reason I am not able to attach the photos). I do have a bit of experience with manjaro as I was using manjaro-gnome before but this has happened for the first time. I did some googling nd tried to reinstall and recover grub from manjaro wiki (title: rescue the grub bootloader, again not able to attach a hyperlink ) and I probably did the same thing but it still nothing. If you know anything please do share!
EDIT: I tried installing it in virtual machine too but its nothing just a black screen after rebooting and ejecting the iso.
and also, what does it mean, when I installed linux for the first time I made the respective distro as priority but this time manjaro wasn’t there.
nd how do I do it manually I don’t see an option for manjaro in the boot manager that’s what I am saying.
Boot manager is not firmware, at least it is not clear what you mean by that. If you have no option to boot into Manjaro from your UEFI firmware then something went wrong when you installed.
Again, please provide output of
sudo parted -l
It can’t be nothing. It provides information about sizes of your partitions.
Here you are. You have a disk with physical sector size of 4096 Bytes, in this case I would not use the EFI partition (no. 2) of Windoze (it’s too small) but use a separate one. You have a partition (no. 8) which looks like it should be your new EFI partition, but it’s not flagged as EFI partition and it’s too small as well, it should be at least 500 MiB. So assigning EFI partition and size of new EFI partition was most likely not OK when you installed Manjaro. Try again.
It’s the first time I made the no.8 partition so small usually it used to be 512Mb, but i’ll make one with 1Gb if you say so because with manjaro gnome and other distros 512 mb would work that’s why.
Nd also why isn’t the no.8 flaged with efi it should be I guess and if not then how do I make it happen
in short how do I boot into manjaro/grub .
okay so now I installed it again but the same thing it doesn’t appear in the boot manager, and now when i am checking from the live usb the flags are gone.
how do i mount them again and save it?
$ LANG=C sudo parted -l
Model: ATA ST320LT012-1DG14 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 320GB

You have to do manual partitioning and set the new efi partition (explicitly choose the correct efi partition). Also flag in gparted both efi partitions with “boot”. Now you should be able to boot both through the efi.
yeah but there aren’t any flags, but this time I noticed something all the times whenever I was done with my installation nd clicked reboot now there comes this number of processes where I noticed that one process has failed which was
failed /run/miso/bootmnt
is this why manjaro doesnt show up in my UEFI firmware and the boot manager?
