The title explains it well. But I installed Mint on a 2nd partition, then deleted it since I no longer used it, and now Grub dumps me to the command line on boot :/

How do I recover?

EDIT: gonna give up. Fuck grub lmao EDIT2: Just reinstalled mint and used the grub it gives to fix everything lmfao

    I had an issue like that in the past

    Even after I run grub-mkconfig and put the efi files on the correct folder, it wasn’t recognized by the UEFI

    What I did was to open my BIOS and at the EFI configs, I choose manually which efi file I wanted it to open

    Maybe it does the trick to you as well

        Can’t you select the path?

        Maybe your BIOS is at the wrong EFI partition

        Make sure your UEFI is retrieving the correct path where you’re installing your grub

        Look at my issue in the past and see if it create an insight to you. Note that some of the commands may be different because I run Arch, so adapt it to your distro

          Afraid I got nothin’ from that. It’s pretty much beyond my abilities.

          Im gonna try installing mint again and letting that fix my grub. if it doesnt, im gonna wipe and redo my install.

          Thanks for trying :)

          EDIT: Yep just stuck mint on the smallest partition the installer would let me and it “fixed” itself lol. Ah well. Until I inevitably distro hop :')
