Bazzite desktop install fails to boot after `ujust update`

Bazzite

(note: this is a CC of a message I posted on the Discord … answers either place will get read … I’m probably at the reinstall stage if there isn’t a solution)

I’m probably an idiot. Trying to learn more about updates and did a ujust update today. Rebooted when prompted.

Now the system fails to boot and goes to maintenance mode prompt.

If I press control+D at that prompt I get messages along these lines (see photo for all errors):

failed to connect to system scope bus via local transport: no such file or directory

[ 125.919614] ostree-prepare-root[1507]: ostree-prepare-root: Couldn’t find specified OSTree root

(going to stop typing it in as I have the photo)

  • I can boot to old windows install if needed to build a new USB installer drive.
  • I don’t know where to go from here, as in can I repair this or do I need to fresh install

System:

bazzite-nvidia-open
5800X3D
3080ti

Was installed fresh a couple weeks ago on 41, updated to 42 automatically a day or so ago.

I attached rdsosreport.txt and output of journalctl (both from emergency mode after a boot failure) to the discord message, too large to quote here and not the right file types to upload.

Just came across this thread on reddit with the following solution

Reboot into a live usb, find your partition’s device label /dev/sdXN or similar and run btrfs rescue zero-log .
