No Grub, and no access to the system

[Alnone]

Hello,

Is it possible to recover grub without the installation USB? I do not know what I did wrong but I do not have access to the system since I have no grub, I get the black screen says something and ends at the end in ‘grub’ …

Thanks

This is from another post, since i’m right now in LinuxMint:

Boot to BIOS, F2?, change boot order.
Use live ISO, chroot and update the system, maybe repair grub if you install mint after Garuda.
On live ISO you can post then the garuda-inxi it is inxi -Faz + Garuda infos.

You know, dual boot is not supported

[Straight]

Hi @Alnone , GRUB becomes corrupted or is overwritten by another bootloader so since you have access to linux mint , open terminal and follow :
Mount the partition that have GOS installed in ex:
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

fdisk -l command to list available partitions and identify the one with GOS

! as stated by @petsam , DON’T follow it , as it is not OK for UEFI installations. !

---

Other than that if you understand what you are doing :

Chroot into the Linux Installation:

sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo chroot /mnt

• Reinstall GRUB: uuse the grub-install command, specifying the disk where GRUB should be installed. For example:

grub-install /dev/sda

Replace /dev/sda with the right disk identifier for your sys

• Update GRUB Configuration: After reinstalling GRUB, update the configuration file:

update-grub

• Exit Chroot and Reboot: Once you’ve completed the above steps, exit the chroot environment and unmount the partitions:

exit
sudo umount /mnt/sys
sudo umount /mnt/proc
sudo umount /mnt/dev
sudo umount /mnt

Then, reboot your computer:

sudo reboot

EDIT:

I don’t think I understand, I am not an expert. This command ‘sudo fdisk -l’ does not tell me where Garuda is, but from Gparted I find it is in partition 3, is it reliable?

Well, if so, as I suppose … if I seem to understand:

mint@mint:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
mount: /mnt: /dev/sda3 already mounted on /mnt.
mint@mint:~$ sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount: /mnt/dev: mount point does not exist.
mint@mint:~$

And from MXLinux-23

keos@keos:~
$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[sudo] password for keos:    
mount: /mnt: special device /dev/sda3 does not exist.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
keos@keos:~
$ 

One more thing …
Debian has never recognized the Garuda btrfs partition, which is why I had to have the grub with Garuda (it does recognize debians).

If you don’t find a magic way out of this issue I think there is no solution:

You know, dual boot is not supported

Thanks

This (/dev/nvme0n1p5 ) was your Garuda partition, from the old post.
GParted shows /dev/nvme0n1p3 (btrfs) as Garuda partition.

You did something too bad to make this happen.

The easy way to walk out with this is to reinstall Garuda, but as I understand, you must be confused about which partition is which.

You may find out which partition is which, if you use any Linux USB installer.
Open a graphical file manager and mount one partition at a time. If there is a file at /etc/os-release, or /etc/lsb-release, there is info inside about the operating system.

Because you are on a UEFI system, and if you are lucky, you might do as @SGS suggests and boot to the lost system.

@SGS

Boot to BIOS, F2?, change boot order.

Do not follow @Straight advice, as it is not OK for UEFI installations.

You should give more info about what you have done, instead of a poor description that is not helpful at all.

@Alnone

I have no grub, I get the black screen says something and ends at the end in ‘grub’

Good luck.

[Alnone]

This is what show up the black screen,

error: unknown filesystem
Entering rescue mode …
grub rescue>

The files you mention about do not exit in etc …

@petsam

@SGS

Boot to BIOS, F2?, change boot order.

I did no comment before about it because i don’t understand …

[SGS]

@Alnone

I did no comment before about it because i don’t understand

IDK if the F2 key boot in to your BIOS/UEFI settings, if you got this grub page, use the blue line, or check your laptop manual, which key must be used.
There you can change the boot order.
Good luck.

[Alnone]

I guess it refers to using the F2 key to rebooting the system and to boot the BIOS, if so, there is no such page nor is there any option anywhere near to ‘UEFI firmware settings’ in what I have.

[petsam]

@Alnone

I guess it refers to using the F2 key to rebooting the system and to boot the BIOS,

Shutdown the laptop.
Start the laptop.
When you see anything at the monitor, press F2 multiple times, to get to BIOS settings.

Read Dell instructions.

If there is a Garuda entry in the BIOS boot menu, make it first in boot order (or boot straight to it, if the BIOS can do this).

[Alnone]

Oh! i see, of course, i already dit it … many times, and what i get is a black screen with the information …

error: unknown filesystem
Entering rescue mode …
grub rescue>

[SGS]

@Alnone

what i get is a black screen

Computer doesn’t boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message

While there are many potential reasons why your installation doesn’t boot to a desktop, the primary reason is that the graphics drivers haven’t loaded correctly so your login/display manager (DM) doesn’t start. This is why you get a “black screen” or stuck at an [ OK ] Started some service message. The normal reason for this is that you have the incorrect driver version for the kernel. This can happens when the mirror you are updating from is not fully synchronised, or times out, and so y…

or

@petsam

The easy way to walk out with this is to reinstall Garuda

or use any other Linux on your multiboot system.
Cheers

@petsam

The easy way to walk out with this is to reinstall Garuda

But the system that is giving this black screen is the one I already installed in parttion 3

[SGS]

Xfce is tested many times, include latest builds, you dont use a Nvidia GPU,
so it must work.

If you like, test it again with

sudo -E calamares -D8

it starts the installer and give a log file.
Post full ISO name next time and check shasum befor you start.

I have no more ideas.

[Alnone]

I am downloading and writing to a USB again another Garuda ISO … I want to check the installer …

[SGS]

If you try out many distros use ventoy.net.
Where you download?

[Alnone]

Well, I finished downloading the ISO, from Garuda, now in the live-USB, there is an option to repair the Grub, an app, I think it is called ‘Boot Repair’, I opened it and went to the repair option, by default it says MRB my system is gpt, I went to ESP and checked on it … click on apply, it does the job … reboot, Garuda is back!!.

Thanks to all of you,

Regards
