@ripe moth and @serene venture both on board. now we're talking

man I ain’t used chroot in so long

#

I forgot how to do it

#

Nvme0n1p3 contains arch

#

Home is a separate partition

naive briar
#

mount /dev/Nvme0n1p3 /mnt

lilac hatch
#

Done

naive briar
#

arch-chroot /mnt

serene venture
#

[ 300.728209] EXT4-fs (nvme0n1p3): mounted filesystem f5142a9c-18d0-4348-a3db-4b5884a8cd58 r/w with ordered data mode. Quota mode: none.

#

Seems like it mounted correctly

lilac hatch
#

Now what

ripe moth
#

Post lsblk again

lilac hatch
naive briar
#

Tf.

ripe moth
#

ls /mnt

#

And post the output

lilac hatch
#

rose is my user

naive briar
#

you mounted your home dir

ripe moth
#

This ain't your root partition

naive briar
#

unmount that one

ripe moth
#

Is it p2?

naive briar
#

and mount root

ripe moth
#

Mount p2 and do ls /mnt please

#

First umount /mnt ofc

lilac hatch
#

I’m just following your lead

#

Like I’m typing and showing you whatever

naive briar
ripe moth
#

So?

#

Output?

lilac hatch
ripe moth
lilac hatch
#

Let me mount p2 1s

ripe moth
#

mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt
ls /mnt

#

Too lazy to type code blocks sorry

lilac hatch
#

It’s fine

#

It’s easier to read

ripe moth
#

Ok dis your root then

lilac hatch
#

bin boot dev etc

naive briar
#

There we go, now:
arch-chroot /mnt

lilac hatch
#

Did it

ripe moth
#

Now do the command from the beginning

ripe moth
lilac hatch
ripe moth
#

Did you add the last line manually?

lilac hatch
#

?

naive briar
#

/dev/disk/by-uuid/18944E6347BA36EF /mnt/18944E6347BA36EF auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

#

that line

lilac hatch
#

No

naive briar
#

that is what fucks it

ripe moth
#

What did you do before this problem exactly?

#

Without context I can't exactly know what is up

lilac hatch
#

I was resizing partitions last night

naive briar
#

also, can you give me: blkid /dev/nvme0n1p1

lilac hatch
ripe moth
#

Exit chroot

#

And post the output of lsblk -f

lilac hatch
#

Exited

naive briar
lilac hatch
naive briar
ripe moth
#

chroot again then journalctl -b -1 |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs please

naive briar
#

either way that line has to go

serene venture
ripe moth
#

Not sure that line is the culprit for not being able to boot

#

Let's see your journal first

lilac hatch
ripe moth
lilac hatch
naive briar
#

in the screenshot

ripe moth
naive briar
#

if you remove that line and reboot it'll work

lilac hatch
ripe moth
lilac hatch
#

I won’t pretend to have much experience with arch as I am still pretty new to it

lilac hatch
ripe moth
#

That partition isn't really used to boot

#

Probably not your culprit

lilac hatch
#

I do not mind having to reinstall arch as long as I get my Minecraft world off of there

naive briar
#

You wont need to reinstall

#

Remove that line from fstab and give it a whirl

lilac hatch
#

I don’t remember the command 😭

naive briar
#

edit the file in your editor of choice

#

and delete the line

lilac hatch
#

can I just do it in terminal here

naive briar
#

yes

#

im assuming you're thinking of genfstab

#

which generates a new file based on what's available and mounted, we wont need that here

lilac hatch
#

nah just nano

#

just want to edit it like a text file

naive briar
#

yeah just nano and delete line

serene venture
#

nano file

naive briar
#

nano /etc/fstab

lilac hatch
#

Yeah I’m in there

#

What part am I deleting

ripe moth
#

Last line

naive briar
#

the last line thats gibberish

lilac hatch
naive briar
#

dev-by-uuid yada yada

lilac hatch
#

Ok!

naive briar
#

yes, last line

#

chuck all of the last line

ripe moth
#

Well the thing is it's not really gibberish but your system doesn't recognize ntfs

serene venture
#

ntfs-3g?

lilac hatch
#

I wrote it

#

Reboot time

ripe moth
#

If you wanna mount it you will need to specify ntfs in the type

lilac hatch
#

Omg it booted thank you all so Mitch

#

Much

ripe moth
#

Somehow I still don't think that was the issue...

serene venture
#

pacman -Q ntfs-3g

naive briar
#

the last line was not the windows drive

ripe moth
#

Especially seeing as there was data corruption messages in the first screenshot

naive briar
#

the uuid dont match anything from lsblk -f

ripe moth
#

Here

ripe moth
#

Sda4

ripe moth
#

Ntfs support is in kernel now

serene venture
#

@ripe moth really?

ripe moth
#

Yes

#

Read this article :)

serene venture
ripe moth
#

Yes

#

The kernel driver is ntfs3

#

So you don't need ntfs-3g

naive briar
#

I do think KDE wont let you mount the ntfs in the gui w/o ntfs-3g though. if i remeber correctly

ripe moth
#

Anyway that fsck is sus
