The symbol "grub...key...is...interrupted" is not found in the grub after the latest update

gusbemacbe · 9 November 2018 10:33

Hello,

I updated yesterday. Then the grub stopped of working, saying the symbol "grub...key...is...interrupted" is not found or unknown.
I also tried the tutorial by middle of Can you check the health of boot and grub of my external HDD plugged on my Mac mini before I do something stupid?, running the command sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck --debug --removable . But the same error still is here.

Hello @gohlip, @AgentS and @jonathon!

Please, can you merge my topic into Grub_key_is_interrupt?

jonathon · 6 November 2018 09:58

That appears to be a different as the other issue was during installation, not after an update. This is also what the "Flag this post" button (Custom) can be used for.

AgentS · 6 November 2018 16:49

Did you run this from the installation, using chroot? Could you not boot the installation using Detect bootloader?
If yes, get to your installation again and post

inxi -Dpuoxxz
cat /etc/fstab

If not, you have to redo all that you did in your previous topic and install grub.

Describe more details on the difference between this and your previous issue, please. I thought you had already learned how to fix/configure it by now..

gusbemacbe · 6 November 2018 19:36

Yes, I did. And the error still was the same.

Yes, but the same error still insists.

I ran these commands from the external HD:

grub> search.file /etc/manjaro-release  root
grub> configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg

But the same error still was there. Then I ran from the installation, using chroot.

sudo cp /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/core.efi /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
sudo efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdc -p 1 -L "manjaro" -l "\EFI\Manjaro\grubx64.efi"
sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck --debug --removable

AgentS · 6 November 2018 21:18

I regret to say:

This is a Manjaro specific error
A DDG search returns Manjaro topics at the top.

I assume it is not impolite to ask help from @philm
What is this error, when does it trigger and how can one solve it?

gusbemacbe · 7 November 2018 23:20

Hello @gohlip and @AgentS!

Is it possible to run as manjaro-croot, mounting sdc3 for running sudo pacman -Syyu, from the installation? The CEO of Manjaro has just released the new packages of the testing and unstable versions today (although my version be stable). I think he seems to fix that grub key symbol.

AgentS · 7 November 2018 23:27

Yes, but I didn't see any mention on your issue. Is there any?

gusbemacbe · 7 November 2018 23:31

I still did not test, I just want to make sure that I can or if it is a bad idea. I do not know if running these commands, principally sudo pacman -Syyu from chroot will fix that grub key symbol error and the broken grub.

AgentS · 7 November 2018 23:50

This command is used to update your installed packages with newer versions, IF THERE ARE any. If not, it does nothing. The latest update has updated kernels, which may or not fix this issue, as we have no info regarding.. It doesn't hurt to update your system though

philm · 8 November 2018 20:29

OK, what exactly was done. grub_key_is_interrupt got introduced with this patch and therefore got added with grub 2.03.0-10. Does a standard Manjaro v18.0 ISO release work?

gusbemacbe · 8 November 2018 23:08

To fix this issue, do I use chroot from the installation to run the upgrade (-Syyu) on the partition sdc or do I reinstall?

philm · 8 November 2018 23:11

The problem might be your grub installation. You may try to restore it. Seems we need to write a graphical tool for it and distribute it with one of our next ISOs

gusbemacbe · 8 November 2018 23:19

Then I ran those commands, no installation errors, but the same grub error was still there. But I never used sudo pacman -S mtools os-prober. Should I try again? Or better we wait with a new release of the next ISO?

AgentS · 8 November 2018 23:23

Boot to your installation with Live media (or chroot) and run update-grub.
Have you done this since you had this new issue?

gusbemacbe · 8 November 2018 23:23

OK, when I arrive home, I will try it again and test it. I am at my college and finished my thesis now.

gusbemacbe · 9 November 2018 04:12

I have tried, it has fixed the grub, but unfortunately I am stuck in the systemctl. You can view the image:

AgentS · 9 November 2018 04:29

I guess you haven't read any recent announcement about the new grub, or I am just guessing..
You need to check if you have fsck in your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
Have you enabled silent boot/grub?
Have you installed the silent boot service?
Have you merged pacsave/pacnew files? (run pacdiff)

gusbemacbe · 9 November 2018 04:34

Wow, I failed to read it. I will do it again.

gusbemacbe · 9 November 2018 06:13

Sorry for my late. I felt hunger. I ate a lot.

I did like like:

fsck -a /dev/sdc
fsck -r /dev/sdc

manjaro-chroot -a /dev/sdc

# Taken from [Testing Update] 2018-11-08 by @philm

sudo pacman -S linux418

# I have quiet under GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub 

sed -i -e 's|fsck||g' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf && sudo pacman -S systemd-fsck-silent
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo grub-editenv - set menu_auto_hide=1
sudo update-grub

I reboot and another fail. Dependencies failed for /home and "Local File System" during systemctl.

I have checked my external HD's Manjaro branch verson. Still stable. SHould I move to tetsing or unstable?
