Installed snap, was told to reboot PC to ensure that it works, PC won't boot afterwards.

#

I can boot to recovery mode but can't boot regularly.

#

I'm not sure what other description I can give..

Can't boot though.. how am I supposed to remove snap without booting?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

lament silo Can't boot though.. how am I supposed to remove snap without booting?

you can chroot then remove it

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 2:26 AM

#

Okay... How do I chroot?

#

Do I need a USB?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 2:26 AM

#

requires a ventoy usb with mint iso

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

Can't get one right now.. am I able to use recovery mode.?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

lament silo Can't get one right now.. am I able to use recovery mode.?

idk, best way is to chroot from a flash drive

#

you can try, as long you can get a TTY

#

TTY: fullscreen terminal

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

weary compass you can try, as long you can get a TTY

There is a tty in recovery mode right..?

#

#

root?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 2:34 AM

#

lament silo There is a tty in recovery mode right..?

root one should work

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 2:34 AM

#

Okay... What do I do...?

#

@weary compass

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 2:45 AM

#

lament silo Okay... What do I do...?

I can't see your screen, so

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

weary compass I can't see your screen, so

I've selected root..

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

???

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

#

@weary compass

#

Now what?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 2:52 AM

#

lament silo Now what?

run apt purge snapd

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 2:59 AM

#

weary compass run `apt purge snapd`

#

Is it good to go?

#

Run reboot?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:02 AM

#

lament silo Is it good to go?

it mentions removing the 5.15 kernel headers and such. you may like to install a newer kernel

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:03 AM

#

Oh... apt install linux?

#

@weary compass

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:03 AM

#

lament silo Oh... `apt install linux`?

nope

#

you need the package name

#

I can't access my mint vm rn to get the package name

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:04 AM

#

Oh..

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:04 AM

#

but apt list linux should help

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:04 AM

#

lament silo Oh..

I don't run mint so

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

weary compass but `apt list linux` should help

"listing done"

#

Hold on

#

That's all it says

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:06 AM

#

uname -r also helps

#

then you replace the version it prints with the latest version

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:07 AM

#

#

So apt install linux-5.15.0-113-generic?

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:08 AM

#

weary compass then you replace the version it prints with the latest version

I don't know the latest version

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:08 AM

#

lament silo So `apt install linux-5.15.0-113-generic`?

nope, that's outdated

#

also, idk if you're connected to the internet

#

show output of ping -c4 archlinux.org

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:08 AM

#

Oh right

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:09 AM

#

as you need internet to get a newer kernel

#

why? because apt removed kernel stuff

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:09 AM

#

Okay

#

Wouldn't a full system update work with apt work?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:10 AM

#

lament silo Wouldn't a full system update work with apt work?

that needs internet

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:10 AM

#

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:11 AM

#

lament silo

ok you have internet access

#

that's good

#

lemme get my mint vm up

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

Okay

#

I can do apt system update right?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:19 AM

#

lament silo I can do apt system update right?

try
apt install linux-headers-6.5.0-41-generic linux-image-6.5.0-41-generic linux-modules-iwlwifi-6.5.0-41-generic

#

that's the latest mint kernel

#

then apt update && apt upgrade && update-grub

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:24 AM

#

weary compass then `apt update && apt upgrade && update-grub`

And after that?

#

I haven't ran it yet

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:27 AM

#

weary compass try `apt install linux-headers-6.5.0-41-generic linux-image-6.5.0-41-generic li...

This is normal?

#

?

#

@weary compass

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:43 AM

#

lament silo This is normal?

yes, it installed a newer kernel.
you may like to run what it suggest regarding ZFS

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

/sbin/modprobe zfs?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

lament silo And after that?

also run apt install linux-hwe-6.5-headers-6.5.0-41

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

weary compass then `apt update && apt upgrade && update-grub`

After I do the zfs thing and this command will it be ready?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

lament silo `/sbin/modprobe zfs`?

yes

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:46 AM

#

lament silo After I do the zfs thing and this command will it be ready?

do it at the end

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:46 AM

#

Okay

#

After that reboot?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

lament silo Okay

did you ran the update command?

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

Yeah

#

And the zfs one

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

once you update the system and update-grub, you can try to reboot

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:55 AM

#

That worked, thank you :)

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

lament silo That worked, thank you :)

so it boots as always?

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

Yep

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

also, you got a newer kernel, so more hardware support

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

Restarted it after restarting it just to be sure

#

:)

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

please don't use snaps. what were you trying to install?

#

@lament silo

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

LoL

#

My mousepad isn't working now but that's probably unrelated... 🥲

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

lament silo My mousepad isn't working now but that's probably unrelated... 🥲

use the update manager and install another kernel

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

Alright

#

And reboot after that?

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

lament silo LoL

so.. what you were trying to install that lead to snaps?

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 4:00 AM

#

Because you can install LoL through snap ig

#

League of legends

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

lament silo And reboot after that?

It works :)

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

lament silo Because you can install LoL through snap ig

use lutris for that

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

Ah alright

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

and use flatpaks

#

make another thread for that

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

lament silo It works :)

now, run timeshift and make a snapshot

lament silo Jul 1, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

weary compass Jul 1, 2024, 4:02 AM
