I have an encrypted install of Garuda on my nvme0 drive. I recently rebooted my system after a long period of constant uptime and several updates and had issues with grub. I followed the instructions found on Grub fails after update - #2 by librewish (besides the step to mount /dev/sdxy to /mnt, since the partition is encrypted I needed to cryptsetup luksOpen the partition then mount the mapper), to boot into a live cd and update grub, then rebooted, but I was still encountering issues with grub (this time it was about the drive not being recognized). After booting the livecd again, I noticed it had an option to detect efi boot loaders, and when I selected that it gave me two options, one in EFI/boot and one in EFT/Garuda. When I select the boot one I have issues with grub, when I select the Garuda one it boots as expected. After manually selecting the bootloader in /EFI/Garuda I was able to log in as normal and check the contents of /boot/efi/EFI with ls -l. /boot/efi/EFI/boot contains bootx64.efi, which has not been updated since the date I installed garuda. /boot/efi/EFI/Garuda contains grubx64.efi, which was updated on October 14, 2022 (today's date).
Does anyone have advice on how I can get my system to boot to the functioning boot loader without having to use a live cd to manually select it? If I can safely get rid of the old boot loader that doesn't work that would be good too.
