Did a big clean of my computer recently, decided to reinstall my OS’ and organise better and decided to try to switch from linux mint to manjaro, have had some trouble.
So first thing’s first, I installed windows 10 cus the other way round usually messes with grub, all seems fine with that, UEFI, GPT.
I boot in to the manjaro usb, create partitions, here’s all the partitions -
on my SSD;
partition || type || mount point
/sda1 || fat32 || /boot/efi
/sda2 || ext4 || /
on my HDD;
partition || type || mount point
/sdb1 || ntfs || C:
/sdb2 || ntfs || not sure actually
/sdb4 || swap || swap
/sdb3 || ext4 || /home
/sdb5 || ntfs || recovery
/sdb6 || fat32 || windows EFI
/sdb7 || || microsoft reserved
/home, root, and swap are encrypted, all seemed to install fine, i reboot aaaaaand… nothing, just hangs on the bios splash until i go to the boot menu where excluding USB options there’s now:
ubuntu
windows 10 boot loader
manjaro
windows 10 boots normal (though sometimes it boot in to recovery after an install attempt), manjaro boots in to windows 10, and ubuntu hangs on a black screen.
I found my way to the restore grub page of the manjara wiki and did the following:
su
cryptsetup open /dev/sda2 cryroot
mount /dev/mapper/cryroot /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
manjaro-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
pacman -Syu grub
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
no errors, great i thought, but nope! same issue. what am i doing wrong?
