Re: [SOLVED] Cant launch sddm after installing libre office

If grub is loading the kernel from the ESP, you need to mount that, usually to /boot, and reinstall the kernel so that it's present there.

Re: [SOLVED] Cant launch sddm after installing libre office

I mounted the parition to /boot and reinstalled the kernel now im unable to even start arch and im thrown into a rootfs prompt . Is this because my partition is encrypted? I will try edit my mkinitcpio

Re: [SOLVED] Cant launch sddm after installing libre office

Thank you guys so much! It worked !

The solution was to use the installation media and mount the main partition to /mnt and the second partition to /mnt/boot. Then arch-chroot into /mnt and remove the linux kernel using pacman -Rcns linux and the installing it again after that i did pacman -Qqn | pacman -S - and after that i edited the mkinitcpio file to account for my encryption then ran mkinitcpio -p linux and then grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
