So i installed EoS a couple days ago, used Manjaro for about a year or so. I used pacman to install my stuff mostly, 2-3 using yay for kwin-bismuth and later after a few restarts timeshift and timeshift-autosnap maybe also Steam on the same session, then the next day when i tried booting i got this:
I waited for about 30 minutes, i see this screen on on EoS all the time and same for Manjaro, sometimes it took up to 15 minutes on Manjaro, nothing unusual, but this time 30 minutes and still nothing probably means it wonât boot, i restarted a few times after that and it still wouldnât boot.
I got 2 gpus in the system 1070 Ti and 1060 3GB(was meant for GPU passtrough, it didnât work, itâs just there powering my second monitor). Pretty sure i used all the defaults, pretty sure EoS doesnât ship Nvidia drivers, i recall some part of installing it yes.
Okay i will try that âchrootâ link you sent. I can do this from any linux distro right ? Manjaro/live usb ?
Just to let you know the default grub entry on the EOS live ISO will install the system with opensource nouveau driver if you have nvidia graphics. The nonfree nvidia entry will automatically install nvidia drivers. Alternatively you can install the nvidia drivers after the install if that is what you did.
Edit: I know this isnât related to your current issue but just information for you.
Yes i saw that on EoS live usb image, though how do i know which drivers EoS is using ?
Back on topic, i followed that video, used EoS live usb image, used sudo fdisk -l to locate my drive, mounted the 2 partitions out of 3(third is swap) of my nvme drive of EoS, arch-chroot /mnt into EoS, did sudo pacman -Syu, it updated, tried unmounting which didnât work/later it seemed to have auto unmounted but whatever â additional line on screen of smthing handler, no boot. So i went back into the live image and did pacman -Syu again, nothing to do, removed timeshift and timeshift-autosnap via pacman -Rs, rebooted and still no boot.
Sadly no, i simply installed timeshift and timeshift-autosnap and then shutdown pretty much.
Okay i will try to reinstall and update grub.
EDIT; So via arch-chroot went into EoS and did sudo pacman -Syu grub, it reinstalled, tried booting, nothing. Tried also grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX but that seems to be a archlinux manual install thing, didnât do anything.
Edit2; About the drivers; using lspci -v i see nouaveu being in use, im guessing just installing the lib32 nvidia something doesnât quite do it.
Will this work ? sudo pacman -S nvidia-installer-dkms
Yeah sadly no, updating mirrors just times out into infinity, âsudo dkms autoinstallâ gives dkms command not found, i donât think itâs meant to be run from chroot.
