Linux no longer boots after update

[just_another_person@lemmy.world]

No, it can just affect the boot record in some cases. This is not that case.

When I restart the computer, the screen remains dark so I have to shut it down. When I select my distro, the screen hangs on that.
When I boot from any live USB I get the error

I have tried different distros, but none work. Interestingly  windows still works.

It wasn't the windows update. It happened after a Linux update.

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

[jumuta@sh.itjust.works]

try searching up what SGX is

[golden_zealot@lemmy.ml]

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

[telorand@reddthat.com]

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.

[gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com]

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.

[ikidd@lemmy.world]

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

[nullpotential@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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

[nullpotential@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Also try enabling sgx in bios

[coldwater@lemmy.ca]

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.

[Guest]

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.

[Guest]

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.

[telorand@reddthat.com]

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

[thebigguy@lemmy.ml]

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

[jamesbunagna@discuss.online]

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

[thebigguy@lemmy.ml]

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

[lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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