i can’t also access snapshots taken previously

edit:

i remember giving an error about something, but i couldnt take a pic since it black screened and put me here

Have you tried the mainline kernel (will be installed by default) also if you can provide some system logs it will help others help you more and if you can get the error message that would also help them

any kernel on the grub selection doesnt work

how can i do this from grub menu?

5

Maybe something happened to your file system. Can you access it with a live usb?

6

im trying to get the latest iso from eos atm so will have to update on that in a while… internet is being abysmally slow, the download is currently in the 20%'s

7

My brain isn’t going the greatest but if you go to it you should see the option (it may be lableled linux)
Edit Will be called linux

Just noticed you are trying to load a snapshot, is this what you intended to do?

9

im trying to boot into my system, after seeing that it can’t i tried to use the snapshot. same thing, it doesn’t work. i tried the other kernels (including the fallback), also the same

edit: the picture there is what happens when i try to load a kernel, not sure why it’s trying to load a snapshot instead

10

Did you try boot into a snapshot previously? (Just some guessing as this has never happened to me) Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help out

11

yeah. clearly something happened after the failed system update attempt, but i can’t find a way to see the logs there as im currently stuck in grub

12

You probably have to arch-chroot and reinstall kernels. Maybe update after. Then try booting into the system.

This helpful article got me out of a pickle in the past when a Grub bug was introduced (article includes link to Arch-Chroot guide):

Did it update or fail, if it failed this could explain a lot

so you tried to boot a snapshot, how did you do this (as exact as possible)

15

i’ll try, this will be the first time i arch-chroot

16

this helps, i’ll try to follow as much as i can. thanks!

17

between this and your suggestion, which one should i try first?

edit: is there a way to try and diagnose the issue in a live usb environment before arch-chrooting?

18

can you post lsblk -f?

hey there, i managed to get into a live usb environment, here’s the lsblk -f output:

Why doesn’t it show the subvolumes for btrfs?

Edit: Are you in arch-chroot?
