Something went wrong on the 0x0.st post
What errors do you get for the failing boot and what does fsck now report?

fsck says that /dev/sda3 is now clean;
As for the errors?
Dependency failed for /home
Dependency failed for Local File Systems

Emergency mode activated
Also, i’m sorry for posting another montior video, but i have to do this https://share.icloud.com/photos/0206bno … BKcmCuycXA

Fixed 0x0 post: http://0x0.st/o8bm

http://0x0.st/o8bm is a shortlink to cnbc, http://0x0.st/o8bm.txt remains an 0x0.st error

Comment the "/home" entry in your fstab, that should allow you boot. Then try to manually mount /home and post the error.
Also your current fstab and "lsblk -f" output.

Edit: I didn't receive a notification for your last post, sorry.

https://share.icloud.com/photos/0e3CFnz … 3sZMX1HGiQ Sorry again for posting one of these monitor pics, but i have to.
Also, i cant actually see the “/home” entry in fstab… its not here??? Why…?

No, you don't - but please at least stop using your iCloud. It's one of the crappiest image sharing services possible.
What is the context of that fsab? The emergency shell? Some live distro?

The context of that fstab is in a live ISO image. Not the emergency shell…

There's supposed to be an fstab there? All I could see was a blank screen ...

I went to /etc/fstab/ and used vim there.

seth · 2022-12-10 17:41:01

From the live iso, you want to mount the system root at /mnt and look at /mnt/etc/fstab.
See the 1st link below on how to pastebin that.

iCloud shows a preview, but that is aspect cropped. It's a shit service for image sharing.

Alrighty, so I just comment the part that says “/home” and try my best to make sure that that comment is isolated? What else do I comment? (If i need to comment anything else) https://murena.io/s/zK6os5rg7ybEQxA

Why is there a CR in that file?
The "^M" at the end isn't supposed to be there, looks like you edited it w/ a DOS text editor. Fix that as well.

What the… I never edited that with a DOS Editor?!? What in the world…

seth · 2022-12-10 21:08:45

Some lousy windows editor like notepad.exe maybe?
Either way, the proper EOL is LF - I'm not sure how systemd or mount or anything would react to the CR.

Kxed · 2022-12-10 21:19:50

By the way, what CR? I don’t see one here looking on my end… is the picture quality that bad?

Edit: Ohhh, not the letters, the thing!
…
What’s a CR?

You have been directed multiple times on how to post the text rather than images of text.

vim doesn’t seem to like me outputting the command to 0x0.st and refuses, saying: “warning: output is not to a terminal” and then curl chimes in saying: “could not resolve host: 0x0.st” and THEN it quits…

loqs · 2022-12-10 21:52:49

vim is an interactive program so not suitable for piping its output to a pastebin. You want to follow the upload file examples from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … ted_client.
From the live media after configuring networking (if needed) and mounting the system under /mnt:

curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st < /mnt/etc/fstab

or

curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io < /mnt/etc/fstab

# Static information about the filesystems.

The entry for /home is not commented out. The line above it, which records the name of the device at the time the entry was generated is a comment. Comment lines start with #
Edit:
You could also pass the kernel parameter fstab=off so systemd-fstab-generator would ignore the fstab, the root filesystem is set by kernel parameter so would still be mounted.

Yes, that's right.

Kxed · 2022-12-11 01:15:30

Alrighty, so normally, that’s where the story would have ended. That’s what I thought at first, but then, the original problem appeared. Again.
What is the original problem? Well, it gets stuck at a specific point and keeps on flashing like it’s trying to continue, but can’t. Here's a video of what was happening. https://murena.io/s/fLSAWCiEx5fWonw
No error codes here, can’t print it out, a monitor video is my only option…

loqs · 2022-12-11 01:22:54

Ctrl+Alt+F2 to change to tty2. If that fails Change the default target to multi-user.target to LightDM from starting.
Edit:
If both of those methods fail boot using the live media then chroot in.
After you have reached the console post the journal for a boot with the issue.
