My Manjaro won't boot anymore and I get this message: error file /boot/vmlinuz-6.0-x86_64 not found

Ok, I have made a live USB with Manjaro on it, and this is the only Terminal that I could get from there. Is this correct, or am I not allowed to boot into Manjaro from the live USB and use the terminal there (in the Desktop environment which I get there)?

From there you’ll have to enter a chroot environment using the terminal emulator you’ve got open there.

To enter a chroot environment:

  1. Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with a still supported LTS kernel. You seem to have this done.

  2. Write/copy/dd the ISO to a USB thumb drive. And this.

  3. When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment. And this.

  4. Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the chroot environment:

manjaro-chroot -a

If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.

If sucessfully done, you should now be in the chroot environment.

But, be careful, as you’re now in an actual root environment on your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart and can cause damage.

Once that’s done, you’ll have to sync the system again. I recommend pamac:

pamac upgrade --enable-downgrade --aur --devel

Hope this helps!

Thanks man, but I’ve now got the problem that “manjaro-chroot -a” mounts into the wrong directories. It goes to my second SSD, instead of my main SSD wherr my linux system is installed. Do you happen to know how I can go into the right SSD?

Reboot into the live environment again, and try without the -a argument:

manjaro-chroot

Then it shouldn’t try everything automatically.

Alternatively, try shutting down and disconnecting the drive that shouldn’t be used.

Hmm ok then, well if I do ‘manjaro-chroot’ then this is output I get:


I believe that bit with the drive will be a bit more tricky though…
I have both Windows and Manjaro on my computer, and I split them 60/40 on my first main drive (SSD), and recently installed a second SSD, internally, so I can’t detach that from my PC… So that’s the reason why my chroot doesn’t automount to the correct place. I looked it up using 'sudo fdisk -l" though and I believe my manjaro system is installed on /dev/sdb7.

Open Firefox there and use that to browse here.

Using that, provide the output of:

lslk -f

and

fdisk -l

…please.


:bangbang: Tip: :bangbang:

To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.

Instead of like this:

Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as descrribed above.

Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.

Please edit your post accordingly.

For more information, please see:


:bangbang: Also, if your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

to auto detect available linux systems

sudo manjaro-chroot -a

to mount beforehand

sudo mount /dev/sdb7 /mnt
sudo manjaro-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

Ok, so I am now on Firefox on my PC,
For some reason my keyboard is also messed up here so Im having a hard time finding the right symbols

I believe you meant lsblk -f

Oh and thanks for the tips, I am a native english speaker, you mess up the sentences on your phone sometimes though…

An ISO boot menu provides option to select language and keyboard before booting the live system.

Ah ok, I think I’m starting to remember now. Didn’t quite realize that, well now I must’ve automatically received an International/American keyboard or something which isn’t syncing up with my current keyboard. But oh well

Ok, well I typed the pamac command you suggested to me earlier, and this is how it looks like in my terminal:

Hope this isn’t too big for the post…

Well, I’m not. But I do believe my English is better than most people’s.

And as for:

My apologies, it should have been:

sudo fdisk -l

That won’t help if it’s not run from inside the chroot environment.

Oh, I thought I was inside of the chroot environment…
I typed these two commands, as I saw them suggested by @linux-aarhus:

 sudo mount /dev/sdb7 /mnt                                                                                                                127 ✘

 sudo manjaro-chroot /mnt 

I am confused though, I saw programs among the updates which were definitely only installed on the manjaro desktop that I’m trying to repair right now… So was that not correct?

I must be going to work now though, so I’ll be checking this forum again in a few hours, 'til then everybody…

Ok, so I did the following things now:

sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb7 /mnt
sudo chroot /mnt

Now I’m in a chroot environment, and the text before I input a command is red and reads this:

[manjaro /]#

Then, I tried the command

pamac upgrade --enable-downgrade --aur --devel

which lead to these results:

Error: could not determine filesystem mount points
Error: not enough free disk space
Error: Failed to commit transaction

Then, I tried the commands

pacman -Syy

followed by

pacman -Syu

And again, they lead to the same screen telling me

error: could not open file: /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
error: could not determine filesystem mount points
error: not enough free disk space
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

So, what do I do next?

What more explanation do you need?

What? My storage is not full, it was not full before I had these problems. Something is obviously wrong here, I have a 1 TB SSD…

Ok, great news everybody!!!
I believe I have FINALLY fixed my system!
I’m going to post how I did it, and then what I did here so we can end the thread with a good solution.
Then I will leave the live USB, boot my Manjaro, and see if everything is still working.

So, first I did

sudo manjaro-chroot -a

It turns out this was the right command the whole time. When I do it, this is the result it gives me:

grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdc1.  Check your device.map.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdc1.  Check your device.map.
==> Mounting (ManjaroLinux) [/dev/sdb7]
 --> mount: [/mnt]
 --> mount: [/mnt/boot/efi]
 --> mount: [/mnt/home/sam/Sams2ndDrive]

As you can see at the bottom, it seems to mount my “Sams2ndDrive”, which is my newly installed 2nd 1TB SSD, which I mounted at my main SSD’s home folder. Clearly what happened here was, that it mounted my home folder, as well as some other things here too. It turns out though, as you can see the [/dev/sdb7] at the top, that everything is fine.

Then after that, I did this (I will simply post the remaining terminal output now):

[manjaro /]# ls
bin   desktopfs-pkgs.txt  etc   lib    lost+found  opt   root             run   srv  tmp  var

To summarize though, what fixed my system was executing these two commands:

pacman -Syy 
pacman -Syu

Edit:
Well, looks like I had bad luck. Still got the “error file /boot/vmlinuz-linux not found” error message. Back to square one.

Because no linux packages was updated.

mhwd-kernel --listinstalled
mhwd-kernel --install linux60

If already installed, then:

mkinitcpio --allpresets
update-grub

Ok, I did all of those commands and this is what I got:
