From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why hello there fellow tuxers. I hope I am not posting this in the wrong spot, I am still a little new to this type of social media.

I have installed fedora today on my pc. However, after a successful install and a single successful boot, the pc just stopped booting both the pen (with ventoy) and fedora.

  • Both the pen and fedora print the same error.

  • Windows still works normally.

  • My EFI partition is 512mb long and still has half its space left.

  • I can't chroot into fedora and reinstall grub, because the pen stopped working.

  • I don't have Secure Boot enabled.

I have resetted the motherboard to factory defaults without success. However, the other tips sound great!

Right now I need the pc, but once I get home I'll try to find a tool to delete the entries through windows, and if that isn't possible I'll just try to do it manually. If it does fix my pc, I should be able to easily regenerate them by chrooting.

Since I think factory resetting the motherboard entails opening the laptop up, which is not something I can do without some time, I should only do it in a few days.

Thanks for the tips!
