Just ran garuda-update. It disappeared along with all open programs. Afraid to reboot. And now it's borked

Mmm try reinstalling the GRUB (and update-grub), with the button in Garuda Welcome or like shown in the tutorial above.

22

OK, reinstalled GRUB and did update-grub - should I now reboot or other steps - maybe re-do garuda-update?

23

Just reboot

24

Rebooted and got graphical GRUB screen with only options
UEFI Firmware Settings
Garuda Linux snapshots
Shutdown
Restart

I tried several snapshots and got the same

I noticed during the grub-update:

Warning: os-prober will be executed to detect other bootable partitions.
Its output will be used to detect bootable binaries on them and create new boot entries.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1.  Check your device.map.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1.  Check your device.map.

And at the end of grub-update:
/usr/bin/grub-probe: warning: unknown device type nvme0n1.

26

That grub-probe error is normal from a live USB.
Can you provide, from the live USB, the output of

efibootmgr

?

Looks good. Strange.
Try chrooting again and reinstall the kernel.

pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers

(sudo is not needed in chroot)

29

Would you like the output? There were several warnings and a fatal library error at the end.

30

Yes please

Really strange.
Letā€™s retry a manual chroot and reinstall the GRUB, just in case

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/broken
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/broken
sudo garuda-chroot /mnt/broken/@

Then, inside chroot

mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/efi
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Garuda --recheck
update-grub

Then

exit

At the end I see:

Unmount /tmp/grub-btrfs.TZ9AesXWww .. Success
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+/memtest.bin
/usr/bin/grub-probe: warning: unknown device type nvme0n1.
done
sh-5.2# exit
exit
umount: /mnt/broken/@: target is busy.```

Would you then like me to reboot and report back?7
34

Any other new error?
If not, letā€™s try rebooting.
Sorry, iā€™m really at my wits endā€¦

35

Wits end - you know it.

Other than the messages I posted above, nothing remarkable.

Will reboot, post back.

36

IT WORKS!

Unsure of the steps weā€™ve gone thru that fixed it but maybe
pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers
or the manual chroot and reinstalling the GRUB

37

Thank you SOOOOO much!

Just did a garuda-update and it said all has been updated.

I guess the second.
I just had a hint from a (somewhatā€¦) similar thread in the Arch forum where an expert member kept on saying, are you sure the ESP is correct? I donā€™t know.
Glad it works, anyway.
