Not sure how this happened:
I think I ran a system update from the menu entry, and gave it plenty of time to finish, I did a full system shutdown from the menu, and now my system fails to boot.
The annoying thing is the EXACT SAME THING happened three months ago!
I think I may have used the offical update tool then too…
But I also do a proper shutdown, so I’m not sure what happened.
I thought the hdd had gone bad, as it did not open from a live cd.
(encrypted partition) so I just used btrfs-rescue to pull the documents off,
Then I manually fresh re-installed the OS, only putting documents back, on a known-good drive.
Yet, here we are again, same exact error (but different partition ID, obviously)
Any idea if this is fixable? or do I need to start fresh yet again?
Edit, I have a second OS Tree entry, but that seems unbootable too:
Here’s a screenshot of the debug log, it scrolls this for a few mins, then ends with the same error:
Turns out the filesystem just got corrupted (somehow)
I was able to repair it from a different OS’s LIVE CD.
Not sure how this happened, but glad my machine is bootable now?
(maybe I’ll make a startup tweak to check the file system each time)
