Issue while updating grub

Hello I am new using garuda. Im trying to install linux-zen kernel. I used to use arch but I am stumped on this issue. So like normal i run 'sudo update-grub' and I get all the normal text but at the end it is telling me.

Can you please help. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum & Garuda :slight_smile:
Im pretty sure that this is caused by a recent grub-btrfs update, please try downgrading this package to the previous version by

sudo downgrade grub-btrfs

and update grub again afterwards.

Thank you, I just tried this and i am getting the same result.

To be clear, after downgrade you do

sudo update-grub

?

still not working here is my output downgrading grub

Subscribing to this, I have that issue as well, as others.
Will try a downgrade as well.

Well, there was a message about the process failing but that was just before the actual downgrade happened?
did you manually update-grub afterwards?

I confirm this is working.

I downgraded from 4.8.1.1 to 4.7.2.1 and both the Fish alias grubup="sudo update-grub" and sudo update-grub now work.

I have advised Antynea on git-hub. Maybe the problem is a conflicting Arch/Garuda package, I don't know, but at least he will be looking on his side too.

Don't mind the wrongful title of the above link, it was regarding a different issue and I have asked if we should split into a new issue.

Here is the new real issue at grub-btrfs github:

Well it seems this is Garuda related.

Antynea says he can reproduce the issue on Garuda distros, but not on Manjaro...

@dr460nf1r3 @SGS , sorry to ping you like this, what should be the next step?
I think Antynea would need someone from Garuda to continue the discussion...

Nice to ping me, but I am here only the painter and "girl" for everything except programming of really important things. :smiley:

Girl… ok I’ll remember that!! lolll
It’s true you do paint marvelous images, though. I’m using one of yours as my background. But that’s off topic here. :slight_smile:

That statement is a little premature, as Garuda uses different kernels than Manjaro, so this could possibly be a kernel issue. Did you test the linux kernel that Manjaro is using by default.

It's somewhere in performance-tweaks.

I installed it and could then reproduce the problem.

After i removed it, disabled the services and restarted, I could not reproduce.

Not yet sure which part it is tho.

I'm using linux-zen

I think it's prelockd-git.

Edit: either prelockd-git or precached-git.

After I disabled prelockd and restart I can still reproduce.

After I disable precached and restart I cannot reproduce.

Edit1: With performance-tweaks installed memavaild disabled and masked (some other problem I haven't got to yet) and precached-git disabled/masked and after a restart I cannot reproduce.

prelockd is enabled and running.
Stil on linux-zen.
