Failure at boot

[molten juniper]

Fails to boot, gives some couldn't find specified OSTree root error

rolling back doesn't help

[royal violet]

@molten juniper you can't boot into the previous deployment?

also what image is this

[molten juniper]

negative

[molten juniper]

silverblue-main-userns-hardened

[royal violet]

you have two corrupted deployments? how is that even possible? what changes did you make recently

[molten juniper]

none

[royal violet]

also as root please run journalctl -u ostree-prepare-root -r

[molten juniper]

only thing I can think of is sticking a fido2 security key in while it was booting because I would need it once I'm booted

[royal violet]

please pastebin this

[molten juniper]

how

I can send a pic

[royal violet]

using a pastebin

https://pastebin.centos.org/

[molten juniper]

how would I copy it tho

[royal violet]

oh right

nvm yeah pic

[molten juniper]

pfft

it asks for the FDE passphrase, the thing happens.

[royal violet]

and youre 100% sure selecting entry 1 instead of 0 at grub doesnt change anything?

this looks similar

https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2283

[molten juniper]

yes, I tried multiple times

I have four entries

0,1 0,1

[royal violet]

are you able to rebase? say to kinoite

[molten juniper]

how

regular way?

[royal violet]

ya

[molten juniper]

gonna rebase to non userns

sh: rpm-ostree: command not found

I think it's fucked

maybe my SSD died?

but like not entirely

or I got a virus and it wiped it

[royal violet]

oh right, emergency shell...

[royal violet]

i doubt it, it wouldnt have booted this far

[royal violet]

this looks like the exact same issue @molten juniper

can you document your findings there

seems like a critical ostree bug

[molten juniper]

so basically ostree can poop itself like this at random?

I assume my home directory is alive? I only care about my chromium files.

Haven't made a backup of those in a while

[royal violet]

apparently they thought they fixed it years ago, but if you're seeing this then they didn't....

this individual claims to have a fix though https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2283#issuecomment-2111188489

you should document your findings in that issue if you don't mind and you could even tag cgwalters

asking them to prioritize this

as it's causing corruption

[molten juniper]

okie

[royal violet]

apppreciate it, hopefully you can get a temp fix

looks like it should be possible

but at a minimum they need to reopen that issue and get it properly fixed

[royal violet]

this is more than a bit embarrassing for ostree ngl

[molten juniper]

I'll do this in a couple days

[royal violet]

alright

[molten juniper]

I have two exams this week

(again)

[royal violet]

good luck on your exams

[molten juniper]

thankies

[royal violet]

ill message in the issue on your behalf

i dont want this to happen to anyone else

[molten juniper]

ok I think I'll just live boot, copy my chromium files to a user on my laptop with the same lock screen password, export the bookmarks, copy any not backed up data and install windows on the desktop until I get a mac.

or reinstall secureblue

or get rid of the desktop entirely

[royal violet]

according to the last comment in that issue, it may be as simple as modifying your grub config

but extracting your data and reinstalling seems like the most clean option

[molten juniper]

yeah

[royal violet]

if i wasn't maintaining secureblue something like this would also probably annoy me enough to stay away from ostree distros until they fix this

not saying you should

just saying i would understand

[molten juniper]

for me it's just annoying because in like 3 months I'm gonna be using a Mac (hopefully)

[royal violet]

ah 😄

[royal violet]

if you have a minute, when you back up your files, can you grab the rdsosreport.txt as mentioned in your screenshot

@molten juniper https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2283#issuecomment-2457953134

this is pretty bad... 😔

@molten juniper #1074422586894712912 message

[molten juniper]

it shows unknown for me

[royal violet]

join the ublue server

[royal violet]

https://discord.gg/WEu6BdFEtp

[royal violet]

one of the ublue maintainers encountered this issue and had to reinstall

this needs to get fixed....

😔

[molten juniper]

@royal violet I can do the log extraction rn if it's not an hour long process

ok so chatgpt can't help me

none of the methods work

mount doesn't work, BusyBox doesn't work, etc

[royal violet]

dont sweat it

focus on your exams

[molten juniper]

I'm too tired rn

gonna to to sleep in the next 30min

[molten juniper]

I cooked my laptop too...

welp I'm not getting that chromium data anymore and also I couldn't find the logs, almost all of the ostree directories were empty

[molten juniper]

that's on me tho

I took the SSD out while it was suspended to ram, which obviously fucked the system when I replugged it with a bunch of files from the desktop
