I am dual booting windows and manjaro. Today when I turned on my pc and selected manjaro linux in the grub, it went to a white screen displaying the message: Oh no something went wrong. A problem has occurred and the system cant recover. I have searched for solutions all over the internet but cant find one. Pl guide me through this problem as I have all my files in there and I cant get to boot my manjaro. I relatively new to linux and dont know much about the commands in depth.
This is a default Gnome shell message - usually caused by an incompatible extension
search for disable gnome extension from command line

How do I get to the command line? I am only able to get till the grub bootloader after thaf I am getting the white screen of error
Hi @aadi8sharma, and welcome!
That error does not sound like anything Linux. However, it does sound Windows’ish. I think I’ve seen it before. I suspect Windows did an upgrade an overwrote grub. Or something. It has happened before, after all.
I think you need to follow this guide:
And here’s something about dual-booting just for interest’s sake:
Hope this helps!
I can’t do anything when I am at the error screen pl, at which step and how do I open the command line. Could you please explain it in more detail. I am sorry I might seem dumb but I am really new to linux
Switching to TTY should work as described no matter gnome shell is stalling.
Simply press CtrlAltF4 and you will get a TTY also called console and terminal.
If you cannot do that - you have another option in the grub menu
- Navigate to the Manjaro entry and press e to edit command line
- Navigate to the kernel command line using ↓
- append the number 3 (three) to the end
- press F10 to boot
Login at the prompt and you have a command line
