Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

I know it was very stupid. Lightdm wouldnt load so o booted on to a USB with archiso and removed the displaymanager.service symlink in systemd. Now when I try to boot up I see no bootable devices.

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

One has absolutely nothing to do with the other - removing the display manager symlink (e.g., disabling it) was a coincidence.

A "no bootable devices" message would only come from a firmware / bios which is misconfigured.  Check your bios settings for boot priority or boot order.  Did you have to change boot priority or order to boot the iso?

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

Ahh I guess booting in to the iso did it then or something else I did when I was on there. I didn't have to change the boot order but maybe it happened automatically when I booted onto the iso? The boot sequence has uefi checked which I believe is right. Not sure if I'm looking at the right thing though

That.

No.

Can you still boot the installation usb key?

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

Check the efi partition of the installed system. Is it intact?
Also, for clarification: the "no bootable disks found" thing comes from the UEFI, it's *not* an error message after the grub menu, is it?

Also: On our last chroot encouter: what exactly did you do?

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

What do I check on that partition? How do I verify that it's in working order?

I think it's from uefi as grub never loads.


As far as I remember I mounted my partitions to mnt. Chrooted, uninstalled lightdm and rm'ed the symlink. I think that's it

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

You check whether all files are still there and if so and in doubt re-install the bootloader.
If yoou're using grub, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#UEFI_systems (pretty much what you did when installing archlinux)

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

I reinstalled grub the exact way I installed it during the original install. Still no bootable devices. How do I debug this?

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

Let's first see what we're dealing with:

lsblk -f
ls -lR /boot /efi

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

lsblk -f

sda1 vfat FAT32 /boot
sda2 ext4 1.0 /
sda3 swap 1 
sda4 ext4 1.0 /home

Im not sure what the best way to post the ls -lR /boot /efi output is. I'm posting from another computer. Is there something in that output I should grep for?

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

Looks complete enough .
"lsblk -f" should™ have printed the filesystem usage, /boot isn't (even close to) full, is it?

Next, check the BIOS - notably whether
a) the drive shows up there
b) you enabled some legacy mode that would require a BIOS and/or MBR installation (you can check the used partition type using "fdisk -l /dev/sda"

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

/boot usage is at 46%

In bios primary hard drive = none but sata0 = some string

The boot mode is uefi

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

What's the output "fdisk -l /dev/sda"? Doe the boot partition have the bootable flag?

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

For an UEFI/GPT boot, the "EFI System" partition type should™ be enough.
It's not like some error would jump at me here.

Were there any error messages when running grub-install?
Do you have efibootmgr installed?
Can you slow down the boot process (time to wait for devices or perform a self-test) in the BIOS?

Yeah I have it. What should set the timeout to?

Re: Removed display-manager symlink and now no bootable devices

Ok I tried it at 30 seconds still no dice. Running system diagnostics only showed that my battery is at about 40 percent health. I'm wondering if I should just try to backup my harddrive and reinstall
