I'm very new to linux so this may be a very obvious fix. I've been using Garuda for a month now with zero problems, it's the only OS installed on my PC. Today I try to boot up and get this error message before I can even get the OS running.
"Loading Linux linux-zen ...
452: out of range pointer: 0x87be7020
Aborted. Press any key to exit._"
I tried restarting and using one of the snapshots but it just brings me back to the same error.
Thanks for your help,
Hi there, welcome to the community!
Firstly, try booting into a snapshot. Refer
Also, if it boots fine, restore snapshot and share output of
garuda-inxi
as text
I just tried that. Tried the most recent one, as well as several others going back more than a week. No matter which one I try, I just get looped back to the same error message.
According to this,
https://www.reddit.com/r/EndeavourOS/comments/wx8vt5/system_wont_boot_after_update/
it is another face of the GRUB issue
So, first thing to try is chroot from live USB and reinstall the grub.
Snapshot restore worked for me - however you have to go into your bios and select a previous UEFI option for it to bypass the error you're describing, which I have been dealing with all morning on my laptop.
There is an option to select for "UEFI firmware settings" in the boot menu... is that what you mean? If I select that it just takes me into the BIOS I'm not sure what it means to "select a previous UEFI option"
There are many bugs lately:
Just try following this tutorial
Ok i've got this tutorial pulled up on my laptop, sitting next to my linux computer. I've literally never used a terminal before I'm completely new to linux. I booted into the Garuda live USB, opened up a terminal and typed in lsblk -f, it printed out a bunch of stuff looks like it's listing the drives I have on my computer? In the tutorial it says to look for something starting with "/dev/" but I'm not seeing anything starting with /dev...?
Can you post from the live USB the terminal input and output?
From the terminal you should shift+ctrl+C to Copy. Then past here.
Anyway
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/broken
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/broken
sudo garuda-chroot /mnt/broken/@
Afterwards inside chroot
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/efi
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=garuda --recheck
update-grub

Cool, I didn't know you could do that.
So I'm assuming I just type in the stuff you just posted starting with "sudo", and pressing enter after each line? I know this is super basic stuff I just don't want to mess anything up

ok I typed in all that stuff and this is where it took me, does this mean I can boot up normally now?
Yes go on.
I edited your post for proper formatting.

Now enter exit and reboot removing the USB.
Nice! I'm back to my normal desktop now.
Is there something I should do different to prevent that happening again? Was it just some problem with updates?
Thanks for your help
It is a bug in the latest update of the GRUB package "upstream"... It happens...
So should I wait for awhile to do another update? Or is that fixed by now?
Ok so I just restarted my computer again and back to the same error message...
do I have to go through this entire process every time I start my computer now? Until this bug is fixed? That can't be right
