Hello, my friend had an issue with an icon pack when launching virt-manager, so he wanted to change it. Here was the problem:
(virt-manager:28938): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:11:35.429: Theme directory 16/16 of theme Infinity has no size field
So, he edited the GTK 3 config file: (nano ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini)
and changed:
[Settings]
gtk-icon-theme-name = Adwaita
Now, when he booted, systemd gave him the option to only boot into firmware interface, the arch boot entry had disappeared, and we were both confused.
So, what we tried doing, we booted into the archiso from a usb, and chroot into his system, and checked if there was anything in /boot/efi/loader/entries , there was nothing. so we created /boot/efi/loader/entries/arch.conf, with this content:
title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options root=PARTUUID=d8583c29-0114-485a-a95e-21c4996013fb rw
EOF
And saved it, when he booted, he saw Arch Linux as an entry, but when he tried booting, it gave this error in red for 3 seconds and shutdown: ../systemd/src/boot/boot.c:2556@image_start: Error preparing initrd: Not found
So, we chrooted back into the system via the usb, and reinstalled the kernel "pacman -Syu linux linux-zen" and when it was done, we ran "mkinitcpio -P", then we exited chroot and rebooted into the main system, we chose the Arch Linux entry, and got the same error (../systemd/src/boot/boot.c:2556@image_start: Error preparing initrd: Not found)
So now im not even sure what to do.

We basically chrooted again, reinstalled the kernel and systemd, and we manually configed and edited some of the files related to the kernel and systemd, then it started working, there is no clear answer, but after tinkering, the problem has been solved.
