[ cleared] os-prober error during distro update

[osenon]

hello
my last update did not end and stop at the "os-prober" step;
the system restart but grub has been modified and then only antix and windows7 are now in the grub menu , one system -arch linux- no more listed !
I try boot repair , but the system also didn't end
I try application chroot-rescue-scan also but did not work and give such msg :"skipping64 bit system arch linux ,linux system were not found"
I suppose there is something wrong on the partition sda3 ( archlinux) but I dont know how to repair , except to reisntall arch ( which is not so easy)
I try fsck -t / dev/sda3 but no impact
any suggestion will be appreciated

Eitehr soemthing with the partition or with arch'grub.
In case you have not manuayll adjusted/changed something grub related
I'd probably do this:
add this line
GRUB_OS_PROBER_SKIP_LIST="HERE -the-FS-UUID-of-arch-ext4-filesystem"
into
/etc/defaut/grub

and re-run

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

This would instruct grub to call of os-rpber to ignore the arch-partition to scan for grub-entries.

Next
extract from arch' grub.cfg from the arch-partition /boot/grub/grub.cfg
(or where ever this is on arch)
the first menuentry
and save into a new file /boot/grub/custom.cfg
on the antiX partition
By this you may have a grub menu to boot into arch.
Otherwise post
/etc/default/grub
/boot/grub/grub.new
and maybe list of
ls -nal /etc/grub.d

Did not have your problem. Usually when a dist-upgrade locks up on me.

Closing terminal and starting over in terminal

Code: Select all

sudo apt -f install

Usually clears up the mess for me. Here is mine for comparison.

Code: Select all

Matter is closed , I don't know why ? Potentially I move this PC from a cold room (10°C, since 20 days) to a heated room (20°C) , don't know if the partition recognition could be affected ?
For your information application "chroot-rescue-scan" still don't work and give same msg ! but anyway I am not very familiar this chroot (my idea was to enter in the arch system and launch update)
Thanks for the two replies.

For what it's worth, I have used chroot-rescue-scan in the past to update my Arch-based system on another partition.

Also used it to install a new kernel on my PCLinux partition (when I went so long without upgrading my kernel that network-manager no longer worked after an update!).

So the tool does work with other distros that are not Debian-based.
