I now see this when i boot up. I just restarted my pc and now i get this.
I raise you “what happened to my bus ?”
Pretty unhelpful responses so far. Enter
exit
to exit the current screen and return to a selection of installed OS/Kernels. You should be able to boot normally from there on. Once logged in, try
update-grub
which should repair your bootloader config.
Note: If
update-grub
isn’t present, it’s fine as it’s basically just a short script forgrub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
You broke grub
Achievement unlocked.
If you can fix it you unlock another one. If you manage to boot the system without using a rescue USB pen you unlock another one.
Eventually Linus himself will come and personally re-write your cfg file for you
Once level up enough you’ll be writing a GRUB replacement yourself. Now that would be a massive achievement.
Is that the platinum trophy?
Elements can’t define achivement levels because you have so much achivements in linux but only 118 elements
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
Your system is fucked, that’s what happened.
More specifically, it cannot find the config file (/boot/grub/grub.cfg) it uses to load the menu & stuff to boot.
Usually it means one (or more) of:
- the grub.cfg got moved/deleted
- grub directory got moved/deleted
- /boot directory got moved/deleted
- boot partition failed to load
Welcome, this is the Linux user equivalent of popping your cherry.
You have a few options, but the easiest is to just use a rescue thing like Rescatux on a USB drive that automates most of the process. If you haven’t the means of flashing a USB drive (like another computer) but still have your linux installation USB drive, most distros offer a “rescue existing install” option somewhere in their installer/liveUSB. But you’ll have to search around.
Some good tips on this thread, saved for later.
You’ve got some schmutz on your screen.
Those might be tears.
