Garuda boot options hangs (NOT AFTER GRUB CUSTOMIZER THIS IS A BUG)

binarydepth · 18 May 2021 12:29

Whenever I use Garuda welcome boot tool it hangs and doesn't let me see he log, I'm trying to set TKH kernel as default.. The busy spinning wheel stays, I can close ti though. And when I open it again is back to the default kernel (Zen Kernel)

NOTE: sorry for bad posting before. Answer here says it's bug with BTRFS

Guys, to be clear I did use Grub customizer but... I was having the problem reported before I used Grub Customizer. Grub customizer made the sparse error at boot to appear, halting the boot process until I press any key. Following in the day I reverted to a clean firs hour of the day snapshot and then I decided to reinstall to use BTRFS RAID and add hibernation to the install.

Step by step screenshots:

In the next one I set TKG-BMQ, then I apply

In the next one the busy spinning wheel is there after click OK in the successful prompt.

When I open the app again is back to default Kernel

Explanation here

Is this the workaround? to do manually then, and I'm on UEFI, is it different in this case?

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

anon4516988 · 18 May 2021 15:13

i'm not a pro in changin kernel
i use tkg-bmq by default
but when i wanted to change
and in garuda menü options it don't go
i whould do it per terminal and whould see what failures shown

I did this:
added a line and change default entry to saved

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Have to test this after two reboot but you can try and report results.

Start from terminal and post log as text!!!

sudo garuda-boot-options

Looks like you used grub-customizer.

Yes, but switched back

Seems that even using root it doesn’t change the default.

Did this an reboot and it chose the right kernel.

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

ANOTHER TOPIC

I have the sparse error, and it have boot partition. Maybe I need the /boot instead.

nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 256M 0 part /boot/efi

anon4516988 · 18 May 2021 16:41

if you have timeshift go back before you made changes manually and try to change the kernel in boot menue

binarydepth · 18 May 2021 16:43

can you be more clear? I think going back before I installed grub custumizer is a good idea. Is that what you mean?

anon4516988 · 18 May 2021 16:44

yes thats it

binarydepth · 18 May 2021 17:21

But, do I need to rollback or just not use it?

tbg · 18 May 2021 17:24

If you have a snapshot of before you installed grub-customizer roll back to before you installed it.

Do not perform any more installs or updates until you do this. Otherwise you may lose your opportunity to reverse the changes grub-customizer made as timeshift only store a limited number of snapshots.

filo · 18 May 2021 17:26

Just in case:

binarydepth · 18 May 2021 17:35

Ok. I reverted to this morning.
/etc/default/grub looks clean as before my DEFAULT_GRUB="saved" changes

First time using this, how do I restore the snapshot? So i stay here
