Warning: grub: local is newer than core

This is the message:

warning: grub: local (2.06.r297.g0c6c1aff2-1) is newer than core (2.06.r261.g2f4430cc0-1)

It appears you have an Arch package installed that was added on Aug 11th https://mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/archlinuxcn/x86_64/grub-git-1%3A2.06.r297.g0c6c1aff2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst that hasnt been added to Manjaro. It isnt even in Unstable.

It was. I removed it for now as it would not display the GRUB menu while the previous version did.

@Tribble You can keep it installed if you’re having no issues. Otherwise, you may install the old version if you prefer.

@Tribble no offense, but seeing that you’re using unstable branch, you should have known what that message meant.

Personally have to downgrade via live environment. Otherwise I cannot boot into my system :frowning:

I’m not having any issue, working fine.

some say that there is no menu created anymore. my guess: grub.git - GNU GRUB

I had a drive where I had Manjaro unstable, then upgraded grub but didn’t downgrade because it was working fine:

warning: grub: local (2.06.r297.g0c6c1aff2-1) is newer than core (2.06.r261.g2f4430cc0-1)

Original thread:

Today I just couldn’t boot anymore, not even get the grub menu. Just getting the Slot 0 opened and a black screen.
Then downloaded and booted from live manjaro-kde-21.3.7-220816-linux515.iso and booted from it, followed the steps according to:

$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc2 manjaro
$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/manjaro /mnt
$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/boot/efi
$ sudo -i
# manjaro-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

Try to reinstall grub:

[manjaro /]# pacman -Sy grub

Now after rebooting to installation, entering the LUKS password tries to boot to grub but fails:

ttempting to decrypt master key...
Enter passphrase for hd0,gpt2 (xxx):
Slot 0 opened
error: symbol `grub_debug_malloc` not found.

Any help?

Most like that happens when you have installed grub in BIOS mode and overwrite with grub-install in EFI mode. When switching between modes, you need to purge the whole grub folder and then reinstall.

rm -Rf /boot/grub/*
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

It did not work, still stuck on same issue. Are you saying that my system was in BIOS mode instead of EFI? How do I reinstall in BIOS then?

No idea. It is just a guess. You are in front of your computer.

Ok on wiki.manjaro.org it is perfectly explained. Just search.

Just after running your command and rebooting again to live manjaro, these are the results:

Any help?

That just indicates that you were on unstable and now on stable… so:

sudo pacman-mirrors -c all && sudo pacman-mirrors -f5
pamac upgrade --enable-downgrade --force-refresh --no-aur

Then reinstall again:

Also keep sure syslinux is not installed anymore:

Ok after chroot again did this:

# rm -rv /boot/syslinux/
removed '/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg'
removed directory '/boot/syslinux/'

I wonder if those files where generated by any of the recent commands posted in this thread? I checked before deletion:

# cd /boot
# ls -lta syslinux/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec  1  2020 .
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2350 Nov 21  2019 syslinux.cfg

Let’s see now what happens.

After trying to boot from the device this is what happens:
I press F11 to enter boot device selection, then Please select boot device: appears. There appear 2 items for THE SAME Manjaro drive (kind of duplicated):

  • manjaro (KINGSTON XXXX)
  • UEFI OS (KINGSTON XXXX)

If I choose manjaro it boots fine to sddm, however if I choose UEFI OS goes to Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> and fails.

So no idea why there are 2 items for the same drive now, but at least it works perfect one of them and can use the OS.

More news. After a some reboots, the boot option “manjaro (KINGSTON XXXX)” disappeared when pressing F11, and now there’s only the “UEFI OS (KINGSTON XXXX)” one, which doesn’t boot. What can be the cause and how to I fix it? It seems like something wasn’t installed properly.

I’ve got a dd backup of that drive from some months ago, which restoring it to another identical drive shows on boot device selection:

UEFI: KINGSTON xxxxxx, Partition 1

It boots perfectly fine, so the system was in a state months before all the updated and grub reinstall happened. Here is more information:

Is possible that I just could delete everything inside /boot/* and /boot/efi/* (without deleting this folder itself) in the not working system, and copy to it files inside /boot/ and /boot/efi/ from this backup device to the current device?
That way it should be displayed properly at boot selection wouldn’t it?
