System boots into grub command line after update

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hello,

I’ve recently run into this weird issue that instead of booting into the standard boot menu where I can select from different snapshots my system boots into the grub command prompt. Where I have to run “exit” to get into the normal boot menu.

I’ve changed nothing from stock in the boot settings.

I guess it happened after a update but I am not entirely sure.

If you need any info feel free to ask, I am not entirely sure what infos to post here.

Is this EFI booting? If it is, please post the output from:

efibootmgr -v

YaST is saying systemd Boot.

The Ubuntu partitions are from my previous OS which I deleted but the entries remained.

When removing an OS you need to manually remove the BIOS entries. Just deleting or re-purposing partitions does nothing tot the BIOS settings.

You can try removing them, with:

efibootmgr -b 0004 -B
efibootmgr -b 0005 -B

Whether that works will depend on your BIOS.

From the symptoms you describe in the first post, it looks as if the boot order might need adjusting. However, it looks okay if you are using “systemd-boot”.

Maybe the firmware (BIOS) has a different opinion, so worth looking at it entering the BIOS menu and checking.

Okay for some reason it seems my Bios disabled the OpenSuse Boot manager I have no idea why that happened but enabling it again worked.
