GRUB update broke normal laptop boot

tldr; latest grub update broke laptop boot - how to further troubleshoot?

Hello. Earlier today I upgraded my backup laptop and one of the packages upgraded was GRUB (from 2.12.r292 to 2.12.r359). I installed Mokka Garuda on both my primary and backup laptops almost 2 weeks ago, and have been very happy migrating from several years on Arcolinux (which recently shut down). I am sending this from my primary laptop (which I’m holding off from updating for the moment because of this issue, in case it also breaks this one), but I can send any info requested from the other one.

CONTEXT: I have an older HP laptop, which also has a Windows install.

WHAT HAPPENED: As noted above, I let the system upgrade normally, and it seemed fine. I rebooted the system, and the laptop displayed the initial screen (and on this HP this means it displays the message to press ESC for options, to enter the BIOS or Boot Options), and it hung there. This was true after several poweroff/poweron steps.

WHAT I’VE DONE: This is a summary, eliminating much of the mild cursing and some repetition of steps.

(1) I was able to boot into a session using a Garuda Install USB, used the Garuda-Chroot option to get into the system, and used Downgrade to revert to the previous version of GRUB

(2) Rebooting the system now resulted in the Windows Bootloader loading every time, although if I hit the ESC key and went into Boot Options, I could select Garuda Boot Manager there.

(3) I re-installed GRUB (the Downgrade version); I downloaded and ran the Garuda Boot Repair program; used EFIBootMgr to make sure the order was Garuda then Windows (it always reverted back to Windows); booted into Windows and ran a command in the terminal pointing to the Garuda EFI entry as the Boot Manager, which indicated a successful execution, but erased the Garuda Boot Manager Option instead, which I was able to restore by re-installing GRUB in a Garuda session.

NEXT STEPS? I want to use this as a learning experience, and I’m at a loss as to what to do to find out what exactly happened, and (ultimately, of course) a solution. I tried doing a search for similar problems, and checked the Garuda Forum to see if anyone else’s system broke after this GRUB update, but didn’t find anything helpful (of course, I may not have used the correctly precise search terms).

What is really a mystery is how the GRUB entry looks okay, I can boot into the system through the system’s Boot Options, and the EFIBootMgr program seems to confirm boot-order changes, but reverts to Windows-priority on each reboot.

Any suggestions on further steps to troubleshoot this issue are solicited and welcomed. Thanks so much to the Garuda community for an amazing OS – I was spoiled for my years on Arcolinux, and am glad to have Garuda now (I have run Garuda in a VM for years on and off, so was superficially familiar with it already).

If you read to the end, I hope you have a day full of joy and peace.

No problems here, I update seven Garuda DE on two notebooks today.

Exactly the same problem for me with my Lenovo… Stuck on the welcome screen form Lenovo…

I tried this with the live iso

mkdir -p /mnt/broken
mount /dev/nvme0n1p6 /mnt/broken
sudo garuda-chroot /mnt/broken/@
mount /dev/nvme0n1p5 /boot/efi
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=garuda --recheck
update-grub
exit
reboot

But with no luck…

= Lenovo

On live ISO just use chroot or in terminal

gruda-chroot -a

grub-install
update-grub

Maybe check

lsblk -f

for your /boot/efi

No luck again :sob: :sob: :sob:

Could you try:

garuda-chroot -a

Followed by:

pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/grub/grub-2%3A2.12.r292.g73d1c959-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=garuda --recheck
update-grub
efibootmgr

Share full outputs of ALL commands. “No luck again” is unfortunately not helpful.

Probably unrelated but I did notice this on my system update today:

( 9/23) upgrading grub                                                     
:: To use the new features provided in this GRUB update, it is recommended

New optional dependencies for grub
libusb: For grub-emu USB support [installed]
sdl: For grub-emu SDL support [installed]

About to reboot and see if my system is broken. :grin:

EDIT: OK nah my system survived. :+1:

You can ignore this. Garuda Linux automatically does this for you. You should see a message at the end of your update:
The GRUB bootloader at /EFI/Garuda has been updated/reinstalled using 'grub-install'. If this looks correct, no further action has to be taken.

Edit 1 : And my garuda is back again…
But is it dangerous to do a garuda-update ?
Will it break grub again ?

Edit 2 : what is the diffrence between what you told me to do and what i did ?

Anyway : many thanks to you TNE !

It might. There’s unfortunately only one way to find out.
If it does become a problem again, please tell us here.
You can also add grub to the ignore list in the /etc/pacman.conf list, although I don’t recommend doing this.

The script also downgrades grub to an older version.

You’re welcome.

System updated! 🐧

Update notices:
The GRUB bootloader at /EFI/Garuda was updated, but it seems like you are not using the Garuda Linux bootloader by default. If you are using 'rEFInd' bootloader, you can safely ignore this. Otherwise, please change your EFI boot priorities to prioritize the "Garuda" bootloader. Running 'grub-install' will do this automatically.
The file /etc/systemd/do-not-udevadm-trigger-on-update was created automatically to prevent crashes on certainhardware during system updates. The file can safely be deleted if running a udevadm trigger after updates to systemd/udev files is desired.
The GRUB bootloader at /EFI/Garuda has been updated/reinstalled using 'grub-install'. If this looks correct, no further action has to be taken.

I have to reboot now… Fingers crossed…

Edit 2 : So back again with my real Garuda…
So at this time, no more upgrade is possible for me…. :face_exhaling: :face_exhaling: :face_exhaling:

You can simply put grub into ignore on your /etc/pacman.conf. At least temporarily.

A bit too risky for me… I prefer waiting for a new version, just hoping it could solve my problem…

By the way… How can i know if a new version, solving my problem, is ready ?

14

I do recommend putting grub on the ignore list for now though. The rest of your system would probably benefit from updates instead of keeping it unupdated when waiting for who knows how long.

I did it and i made the upgrade without any problem…

Is there something i can do to announce this problem to the developper or doing something to announce this bug ?

16

I suppose you could get in touch with the grub developers, but given that gnu.org is down right now, not sure how you’d do that.

Do you have an additional hard drive connected ?
and i “see” here no garuda-inxi.

my experience with grub
On the Efi partition, you have a fallback boot loader, boot/efi/Efi/boot/grubx64.efi. (year/s ago it was bootx64.efi)
Current is this boot loader active for grub not /boot/efi/Efi/garuda/grubx64.efi. (my mind)
You should change this in the bios if you see 2 entries to boot the “garuda” drive.
If, use “Garuda” boot not “uefi” boot in the bios settings.
I had this trouble also a year ago and after each upate from grub i read this kind of messages too and without manual intervention i couldn’t not fix this. (chroot, etc)
