But have you done grub-install then? It doesn’t execute automatically so efi binary remains grub 2.04…
Or maybe it does but I just have a custom $esp mount location so it might have failed silently when installing.
think of it i think you should. grub update was instantaneous and certainly didnt look like there was any script running underneath on my stock multi-boot.
i guess we have to manually update the bootloader and run update-grub, like the previous times
i would suggest you wait until someone knowledgeable concurs. since its a new grub i proceeded to update EFI manjaro bootloader with; sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck --no-rs-codes
and sudo update-grub
rebooted everything is fine. notice; this applies only for EFI systems only
That left my system unbootable - luckyli, with a manjaro iso and “detect efi booloaders” i can boot again.
Strangely, the one that works is /boot/efi/efi/manjaro…
Now on to troubleshooting ^^
Edit: sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/ --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
works for me - notice the efi-directory is only /boot/, not /boot/efi as in the wiki
Yeah, it seems the database files got restructured. My db was mostly empty after checking the directories post-update. This was fixed when I did an Nvidia drivers reinstall (MHWD didn’t see the existing driver as installed). I don’t know what would be the equivalent action for AMD.
Removing libcanberra-gstreamer and lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer, worked fine with pacman.
After that the update went through. After a reboot, the system ran
almost error free.
The only bug I noticed so far: Pamac reports in the taskbar that an update is available. After starting Pamac
the package mhwd-db is displayed. But it is already updated.
So nothing serious. Just some desinformation. I had this error several times. It went away after a subsequent update.
Otherwise, everything is good.
Ok, the thing with pamac and the misinformation, that there is still an update pending that has already been executed, has just been resolved. I just deleted some orphaned files with pacman. Then another system reboot. After that there was no more update message.
Pamac now says your system is up to date.
A few hours later, after using Steam, this bug occurred again. This time I first cleaned the hard disk with
“sudo pacman -Sc”, and then with bleachbit. Then another system reboot.
Even after restarting Steam, the bug did not occur again. So this time the bug was really resolved.
At least that’s my hope. Should it occur again, you will hear from me again.
Lastly, I cleaned up the system again, and did a fresh install of mhwd-db. Again, seemingly successful at first.
But this bug always returns hours or days later. Not resolved.
Two days later:
Performing the same action over and over, until finally a different result occurre, led to success. Have updated pacman-mirrors again, and then again mhwd-db.The bug was gone again.That was now already one and a half days ago. The bug did not return until now. So it`s resolved.
