Problem with boot partition Acer Aspire 5742G

Alright. Nothing detected. Is there anything mounted?

mount -t ext4
mount -t vfat

PS: Would be so kind to edit your last 3 posts and merge them into one if possible? That would make much readable for the future. Thank you.

Yes where the home folder in the screenshot attached above. (Only this partition stays connected)I have no way to disconnect it

[manjaro manjaro]# mount -t vfat
/dev/sda3 on /run/media/manjaro/50EC-367D type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

also post output from:

but it looks like you are chrooted…

Please open dolphin, mount the partitions and report back what folders structure is presented there. Look for a file which is called fstab in the folder etc. The content of that text file I was looking for.

You said, your “boot partition” was corrupted. Do you mean the root or the efi partition? Because a boot partition is something else.

You can check a filesystem (of course it has to be NOT mounted), with:

sudo fsck.ext4 -f -n /dev/sda2

That only checks it by force, but does not repair anything.
That will repair it:

sudo fsck.ext4 -f -y /dev/sda2

You have to look at the output of lsblk to see the devices/partitions. sda2 is like → SCSI Device A Partition 2

Nothing happend. Thats looks good.

I need 6.5 GB of free space on my hard drive

No… as I said already. Running this WITHOUT CHROOT means: You did not switch to local installation. You run an update on the live session. You have ~8GB RAM, 2.79GB is used by the OS, the rest is left for new files:

So it is important that you successfully switch to the local installation. Please determine which of your partitions are the root partition:

sda5

Good, now check and repair it:

sudo fsck.ext4 -f -y /dev/sda5

If everything is good, mount it:

sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt

Then check what is in your fstab:

cat /mnt/etc/fstab

Post the full output here. thanks.

That shows the content of /mnt:

ls /mnt

[manjaro manjaro]# ls /mnt

tomi_linux - this is my account

Alright. That is your home partition, not your root parition. Next one.

Unmount the current mount:

sudo umount /mnt

mount sda2:

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

show the content:

ls /mnt
[manjaro manjaro]# ls /mnt

[manjaro manjaro]# sudo umount /mnt
[manjaro manjaro]# sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[manjaro manjaro]# ls /mnt
'All files from Downloads'   boot   lost+found   my_chroot

All files from Downloads is very important folder for me and it had better not be removed

ok still not a root partition. Is it try number 3?

sudo umount /mnt

mount sda6:

sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt

show the content:

ls /mnt

If the third ext4 partition is not a root partition, I can only say that there is no Manjaro installation at all.

[manjaro manjaro]# sudo umount /mnt
umount: /mnt: not mounted.
[manjaro manjaro]# sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
[manjaro manjaro]# ls /mnt
lost+found

Well, it is now obvious that there is no Manjaro installation. Did you ever install it? I fear you used the live session all the time.
