GRUB Refusing to start in console mode...
I have done everything I can find on the internet, changing/ removing files like grub.cfg, or editing /etc/default/grub, to force "text" mode launch, etc... Absolutely NOTHING is working, (I have two partitions, Linux Mint the one I use most, and Manjaro KDE).
The Grub2 menu I see, has the manjaro logo on the bottom right, giving me the impression this is Manjaro's fault, so I mounted Manjaro, chroot'd into it, and did the same configurations on it's files, then ran the command to updare grub. I really have NO clue, why it won't just work. It's extremely irritating... While you're at it, I also want to use startx to launch my WM/ DE, but when I uncomment the line in the file default-display-manager, it just refuses to load the system. ^^ Maybe you can see where I'm going, with starting things in terminal mode, and manually loading them, vs. auto-GUI/ auto-Load. |
And we're all supposed to be mind readers ?.
No indication of what you did - or why you did it. Flailing around doing Quote:
Mint (currently) uses upstart - Manjaro presumably systemd as it's based on the Arch repos. Not even similar - no chance the changes will be common. Read this for upstart background - see section 4.7 in particular for runlevels. The Arch wiki has an excellent systemd article, covering targets equivalent to the old runlevels if I recall correctly. |
For Manjaro, try this:
Code:
# systemctl stop display-manager.service |
you should really give us some more info about your setup.
after that: Quote:
what are you trying to achieve, and what did you try to achieve it and how did it not work? Quote:
but nevermind; question is again, what line in what file? and how does "it" (?) refuse to load the system? |
I guess it could be possible that some features were removed from your grub.
Generally I'd say press the space bar at some point in the boot process to edit it. |
