my pc is not booting today.
I noticed that two data are missing from the grub:
/boot/grub/themes/EndeavourOS/unifont-regular-16.pf2
and
/boot/grub/themes/EndeavourOS/theme.txt
after that it goes to the menu from where i can select the kernel.
no matter which kernel i select after
loading kernel linux-lts
this is where it stucks
nothing works anymore
because of missing AUR packages
grub2-theme-endeavouros
i have uninstalled it yesterday.
I also have checked in
/etc/default/grub
to disable.
what is the solution for me here?
thanks already

Here are the instructions: https://discovery.endeavouros.com/system-rescue/arch-chroot-for-efi-uefi-systems
So you need to arch-chroot into your system after booting the USB installer.
Then, in arch-chroot, you can give command
cat /etc/default/grub | eos-sendlog
and show the resulted URL here.

That file looks fine at a quick glance.
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/grub2-theme-endeavouros-20220602-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
if you have it there in the package cache.

OK, you can fetch and install it (in arch-chroot) with commands
wget https://github.com/endeavouros-team/archive/releases/download/packages/grub2-theme-endeavouros-20220602-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -U grub2-theme-endeavouros-20220602-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
Note that you probably should edit /etc/default/grub to use the grub theme like before, and run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg before reboot.

Since grub menu is functional, your issue (boot failure) is not related to grub theme.
Nevertheless, can you explain how did you notice this?:
You might want to try a different kernel.linux-zen, while you write linux-lts. What is the right one?

Then, it’s time to improve yourself on this
Boot to your installer ISO,
start a file manager,
mount your installation’s root partition (or whichever partition includes /var/log folder),
open /var/log/pacman.log with a text editor
navigate to the end of the file
locate the latest transactions and copy them
post those here in code format, (or to a pastebin web service and share the link)
