i have auto updates on and yesterday, pop shop told me to restart. in hindsight it was a bit weird, i just had another restart to update a few days ago, and i think the restart message on the window was in orange, but this last time it was black.
since this restart, the system goes to busybox, and while the keyboard lights up, it doesn’t react to any input, not evem caps lock switching
with a live usb, i checked the efi and the root partition, via disks, both seems to check out
i also have a mint install on the same ssd, and that works just fine
also windows on a different ssd, i haven’t tried it
i have tried the guide on system76’s page, to repair the bootloader, didn’t seem to have any effect
what could be causing this and how can fix this?
edit: typos
It seems to have been fixed, try this: GitHub
Or try the suggestion above (revert to the old kernel).
thanks, i didn’t know about holding the spacebar for older kernel option
ran apt update and it is now fixed!
I had the same problem. Popshop said to reboot.On reboot it said “waiting for encrypted source device UUID=…”, then after a couple minutes went to the busybox. Tried a few things. But I didn’t have much time, and just reinstalled.
I am interested to hear if anyone figures it out.
Reboot the computer, as it boots, spam the ESC key. It will give you the option to boot into the old kernel. Then once logged in, force a sudo apt update and upgrade and reboot again, fixed.
for me it was holding the spacebar that summoned the boot menu, and allowed me to select the old kernel, and then update to the new fixed current
