Linux no longer boots after update

? Offline

When I restart the computer, the screen remains dark so I have to shut it down. After I select distro it hangs.
When I boot from any live USB I get the error
0.083296] x86/cpu: SGX disabled by BIOS.

Lmao typical Linux forum responses. Criticisms for no error message in main post but when given the message everyone goes silent.

try searching up what SGX is

This would be what I was thinking of then, thanks for clarifying.

I wonder if it has anything to do with this:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1418992/sgx-disabled-by-bios-message-on-ubuntu-20-04-booting

I'm not familiar with SGX, but it kinda sounds like a predecessor to Secure Boot? I wonder if that's preventing some kind of startup.

ACPI errors shouldn't be an issue, it's somewhat common to see them. Are you still able to boot from live USB? Are your Linux and Windows installations on the same drive? Sometimes Windows can mess with the boot settings of other OSes and even break a GRUB install.

14 fucking minutes and there's no response? Oh noes.

Have you tried this? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1411354/ubuntu-22-04-acpi-bios-error-bug

Also try enabling sgx in bios

Looking through your response I think you got unlucky updating bad packages causing it to not boot anymore, my advice is to boot Live USB backup your data and reinstall a distro with time shift just to be safe.

Yes, I'm thinking that the bios got corrupted somehow and from what I can tell, it doesn't matter what linux kernel version I try to run. There is no SGX setting in the bios. I will try to update the bios tomorrow (I already tried once and that hung as well) and will update the thread then. Luckily windows still works.

I have tried to boot from 3 distros and none of them worked, but a windows USB worked perfectly. I'm thinking that it has to do with the bios. No they are not on the same drive.

That link I gave mentioned a Grub setting for ignoring SGX. Maybe try that after updating your BIOS, if that doesn't work.

Kinda why Linux sucks and I barely use desktop pcs anymore they’re literally nerd territory now.

[email protected]

99% of Linux users don't experience 'random' boot problems. Ever.

[email protected]

Yeah me neither since I barely ever touch a desktop pc it’s not the 90s anymore and most people are on their phones.

[email protected]

Good for you, except OP is clearly using a desktop PC.

[email protected]

Doesn’t change anything I said. The whole dream of Linux as a free alternative to the desktop is fucking dead as we all have mostly close sourced computers in our pockets. I’m on a drunken rampage sorry op

I suppose it's not required for your work/education or whatever your occupation happens to be. That's absolutely fine. But this doesn't warrant being dismissive towards those that have a different situation. Most people that work behind a desk are required to do some work on the PC. The same applies to students.

it’s not the 90s anymore

I wouldn't be surprised if PC usage has been much higher this past decade compared to the 90s. Therefore, this comment seems very out of touch.

most people are on their phones.

Nothing wrong with that. But most people can be on their phones AND PC usage can still be a lot more that it was in the 90s. There's no mutual exclusivity at hand. Only if you would gauge how often the PC is used as a device (relative to other computer-like devices) would you see a relative decline for PCs.

Sorry most people touch pcs at work when it comes to the average worker they have no choice over what distribution their company school or government uses. You’re being a debate lord, the mods were correct to delete my original comment I’m drunk af and it had nothing to do with the original thread, but the fact of the matter is most broke ass people I know don’t really touch pcs unless their in a specific consumer group(gamers). I’d go as far to say that most people would never touch a desktop pc again if they didn’t need to.

No disrespect to OP I’ll remind you once again I’m drunk posting but I’ve read your comment three times now and you didn’t refute anything I said.

I’m not being dismissive I just think that this weid evangelism for replacing windows with Linux or whatever the fuck is straight out of the early 2000s when desktop pcs were the main interface people had with computing, want to be on the cutting edge of providing people with open source or free (or whatever the nerds are calling it now a days) computing for the masses targeting smartphones is the move.
I want to apologise once again for derailing the thread with my drunk posts I’m gonna go buy more beer.
