To enter a chroot environment

  1. Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with a still supported LTS kernel.

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

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

  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 oon your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart and can cause damage.

From there, acquire the logs to inspect and provide them here:

journalctl --boot=-1 --priority=3

Where:

  • There --boot= parameter instructs journalctl to provide the logs from the previous boot (-1.) Adjust this to when you last experienced this. (-2, -3 and so on and so forth.)
  • The --priority= parameter will limit the output so that only errors and warnings are shown. If this isn’t helpful, we’ll broaden the scope.
