[Solved] Encrypted laptop goes directly to UEFI after grub update

Hello,
I changed my grub config in order to play a sound when entering the grub menu.
I only changed the the line

GRUB_INIT_TUNE="600 988 1 1319 8"

and run

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

After rebooting, my laptop goes directly to the UEFI menu.

I tried to repair it myself by chrooting into my partiion, but I'm not sure what partitions to use to reinstall/repair grub, because of the encryption.

fdisk -l gives me:

/dev/nvme0n1p1 [...] 512M EFI System
/dev/nvme0n1p2 [...] 19G   Linux file system
/dev/nvme0n1p3 [...] 933G Linux file system

/dev/sda1 *Boot type empty
/dev/sda2          type EFI (FAT-12/16/32)

I openend and mounted the .dev/nvme0n1p2 and chrooted into it.

But now I'm not sure how to continue to load the boot partition, is it /dev/nvme0n1p1, /dev/sda1 or something else?
I tried to follow the tutorial from the wiki, but with the encryption I'm not sure in what partition grub lives.

Thank you for your help.

How do you expect us to know about your system?
Chances are that sda is the install iso, but

lsblk -f

Also post your grub.cfg

Re: [Solved] Encrypted laptop goes directly to UEFI after grub update

Sorry, my question was ill posed.

I was confused by the sda disk and the nvme0 disk. Turns out the sda drive was from the usb stick with the arch iso...
I could resolve the problem by running grub install without arguments, but I think --boot-directory /boot would have done the trick.

Thanks all for taking the time.
