From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The title explains it well. But I installed Mint on a 2nd partition, then deleted it since I no longer used it, and now Grub dumps me to the command line on boot :/

How do I recover?

EDIT: gonna give up. Fuck grub lmao EDIT2: Just reinstalled mint and used the grub it gives to fix everything lmfao

I had an issue like that in the past

Even after I run grub-mkconfig and put the efi files on the correct folder, it wasn't recognized by the UEFI

What I did was to open my BIOS and at the EFI configs, I choose manually which efi file I wanted it to open

Maybe it does the trick to you as well

Tried all the ones that my BIOS picks up but no dice :/

Can't you select the path?

Maybe your BIOS is at the wrong EFI partition

Make sure your UEFI is retrieving the correct path where you're installing your grub

Look at my issue in the past and see if it create an insight to you. Note that some of the commands may be different because I run Arch, so adapt it to your distro

Afraid I got nothin' from that. It's pretty much beyond my abilities.

Im gonna try installing mint again and letting that fix my grub. if it doesnt, im gonna wipe and redo my install.

Thanks for trying :)

EDIT: Yep just stuck mint on the smallest partition the installer would let me and it "fixed" itself lol. Ah well. Until I inevitably distro hop :')

Tried the 3 options I had in the UEFI boot menu but no dice on either annoyingly.
