This didn’t do anything, no terminal appeared either

edit: was I supposed to press all keys from f2-f7?

62

No, one of them should allow you to get to a terminal. So, instead type reboot, then hold your system at the boot menu and tell us what you see (or screenshot).

63

I can’t type anything, it doesn’t do anything. I’m just going to power it off and turn it back on.

64

Right… If you can see a cursor, that means you are probably logged in. Do you have a shortcut to log out? Again, which DE/WM are you using?

Also, did you run the update-grub command after installing the kernel? Meaning this:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

To confirm another thing. The black screen with the large cursor - do you mean mouse cursor or text cursor?

65

I didn’t know i had to update grub, I’ll do that now. I’m using plasma.

66

I’d suggest creating a backup to an external disk of all your personal data now.
You can do it using the USB installer.

Only after that try more fixes, or if nothing helps, maybe reinstall.

67

I mean mouse cursor

How do I create a backup using the USB installer?

69

You can access all your files the same way you can access and update the system. So, you’d copy the files to another HDD/SSD. You probably don’t need to do it, but it’s recommended.

You said you got a mouse cursor. Was this after booting, or after logging in?

70

The OP said plasma after.

There was no login screen
I also don’t have another drive big enough to back up my files sadly

72

Again, you probably don’t need to do it anyway. It’s a recommendation. That said, you should probably have a backup drive or cloud or something for your important files.

What are you doing right now with your system? Already updated grub? Rebooting?

While in chroot, I think you should be able to provide the sysinfo.

You can log into the forum from the LiveISO and post it.

grub-mkconfig: command not found

76

What are you trying to do now?

77

Err… Systemd-boot maybe then? Yeah, I dunno how that works. Someone else will have to help with Systemd-boot if that’s what you actually have installed.

This, I guess: https://discovery.endeavouros.com/installation/systemd-boot/2022/12/

I was following what was said before, and updating the grub config

Did you install with grub originally? systemd-boot is the default unless you specifically chose grub as the bootloader.
