I put my pc into sleep mode, upin turning on it had both screens with oink and green visual artifiacts, big boxes of glitched pixels.

restarting prompts this menu

#

the screen looked like this

#

it has done this glitchyness before after sleep mode, but it didnt do this before, and noone could help me figure it out

#

gpu seems to be completely fine, launching it on the other ssd for windows grants no issues

#

i launched minecraft to put load on it

I was using kubuntu as my distro

#

after figured out how to exit busybox this appears

acoustic summit
#

probably some dumb video drivers and the messing around

#

retrace your steps

#

if you're dualbooting with Windows, make sure win fast startup is off. do not confuse this with Bios fast boot

flat rivet
#

where do i check that

#

also does dualbooting count as having two seperate ssds

#

ive got one with windows one with linux

#

and how i swap between them is by changing the boot order in bios

acoustic summit
#

yes dualdrive still can be affected

#

in windows do powercfg /a to check

#

if it's available, then use admin prompt and : powercfg /h off

acoustic summit
flat rivet
#

hmm?

#

this is the results of that

acoustic summit
#

it's in black and white man

#

read.

flat rivet
#

im just gonna guess that means fast startup is on

#

ok ive done that

acoustic summit
#

recheck with powercfg /a

flat rivet
#

yep

#

should i try relaunching my linux ssd now?

acoustic summit
flat rivet
#

kk

acoustic summit
#

do win+r and msinfo32

#

check the BIOS mode listed there

flat rivet
#

legacy

acoustic summit
#

boot Mint if possible

flat rivet
#

like get a bootable drive?

#

one sec

acoustic summit
#

no just try ur actual mint install

flat rivet
#

ah ok

#

i forget if i mentioned it above but its kubuntu not mint

acoustic summit
#

if it's trashed then reinstall, and boot the installer in legacy

#

kubuntu in any case

flat rivet
#

kk

#

this same screen pops up

#

should i try exit to see if it still crashes

acoustic summit
#

sure

flat rivet
#

same screen as above

#

kernel panic

acoustic summit
#

btw did u figure out your boot menu key?

flat rivet
#

wdym, like to change boot order of my harddrives?

acoustic summit
#

no

#

google your pc brand+ boot menu key

flat rivet
#

pc brand?

acoustic summit
#

do that immediately

#

yes your pc brand

#

if u dont know then check in Windows using CPU-Z app for the motherboard brand

flat rivet
#

is the boot menu where it says memtedt86

acoustic summit
#

no

flat rivet
#

ohhhh

#

motherboard brand.

you saying "pc brand" eas incredibly confusing

acoustic summit
#

that or the oldschool blue ones

#

what is the BRAND NAME of your computer???

flat rivet
#

ive got msi motherboard amd gpu and cpu. idk what you were referring too

acoustic summit
#

msi boot key is F11

#

press F11 immediately after turning the pc on.. within one second..

#

and show photograph

flat rivet
#

ct500 is windows

acoustic summit
#

windows is on CT500?

flat rivet
#

yer

acoustic summit
#

u can see there's no "uefi" in front of them

#

but for the yellow one there IS a UEFI name of loader. (in this case 'ubuntu'

#

both OS should be installed in same mode

#

or else u always have to use this key

#

u will never have grub option

#

anyway, reinstall kubuntu

flat rivet
#

like wipe my drive?

acoustic summit
#

which will boot legacy and install linux as legacy

flat rivet
#

how will i know my pc wont just corrupt again after wiping

acoustic summit
#

well what choice have u got at this point?

#

u will make timeshift snapshot as soon as u reach a good working installation

#

and be careful with what you do thereafter

flat rivet
#

ill probably install something other than kubuntu, since it seems pretty unstable

acoustic summit
#

if ever needing to restore the snapshot, u can boot live ISO, and run timeshift restore

#

then try Feren OS

#

i've used it before. it's KDE and familiar like kubuntu

#

same software family

flat rivet
#

ill check it out

acoustic summit
#

use ventoy to prepare USB stick

#

that way u dont just waste a usb with etcher

flat rivet
#

ive got a few spares

acoustic summit
#

@flat rivet does your pc use nvidia graphics?

flat rivet
#

amd

acoustic summit
#

just checking.

flat rivet
#

i got my files back via winbtrfs

#

👍

acoustic summit
flat rivet
#

didnt work i tried

#

failed to read disk

#

couldnt boot superblock was the error

acoustic summit
#

the live session of what?

flat rivet
#

i still had the live boot of kubuntu that i installed from

acoustic summit
#

mhm.

flat rivet
#

trying to open the kubuntu ssd from it gave me the error superblock couldnt be accessed or smth

acoustic summit
#

in such case, the DISKS app has a check/repair filesystem that can be applied to the questionable partition

#

that or the sudo fsck /dev/xxx command

flat rivet
#

ill do that after i back up the things i want

acoustic summit
#

xxx being something like sdb2 for example

flat rivet
#

yeah its /dev/sdb2

acoustic summit
#

wherever the linux root is residing
