Hello there. I’m new to linux, and when encountering a small simple issue (nvidia drivers), have managed to chain together a bunch of not quite fixes until my install is borked.
Long story short, I updated into broken nvidia drivers, tried every varient up ‘clean kernel update’ I could dig up through forums, somehow ended up with a second boot option that worked, then updated again later into the current situation of failed to mount /efi, and this time pacman -S linux will not save me.
My problem seems incredibly similar to this one here:
I tried the solution in that, and I did manage to remove the second old boot option, but could not get it to boot correctly after removing /etc/kernel/cmdline
and seeing that the other boot entry left did contain the right root UUID. (Assuming that’s what that fix meant for me to do).
I did try doing pacman -S linux while in there, but noticed when rebooting to test it the entry still read 6.2.8. I don’t know if that means it just didn’t stick to that option or the option name just doesn’t match.
Really desperate to get back in to get access to some important stuff at this point, and I feel like this is so close to working.
I’m not sure what information you’d want to see here, so feel free to ask for anything (though be aware I’m not very linux literate). Do please ask for a bunch at once though, because my setup is only questionably usable, so going into linux to try something takes about 10 minutes each try.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
