I'm stuck in grub menu
I can't boot into bazzite at all and get put into emergency mode, of which tells me it can't even open the console since it says "can not open access to console the root account is locked"
looked this issue up and it said to press e in the grub menu and add a line to boot into commands, tried passwd and then touch ./autorelabel but soon found out it won't work cuz this is an immutable system, so I'm here to ask what to do next?
What happened to cause this was I booted into the windows option in grub menu, flashed windows2go from Rufus onto the emmc from steam deck in an enclosure. Had the thought that since I have no computers with a USB c port(except one in my main PC but it's very slow, which is why I opted to not use it originally). booted from that on my steam deck since it does have one, but then realized after I got to the windows desktop that I was going to need to bring the files so I tried plugging it into my desktop with a USB c to a adapter (same speed as bad USB c port so idk why I didn't just use that) and in bios menu put as boot #1 (tried boot manager but I pressed the wrong key) and then windows blue screened saying
registry_error and when I tried going back to bazzite after changing boot order again and now I'm here with my issue95 Replies
When you get into terminal from your grub menu, If you run
fdisk -x which will give you disk info for all your disks and partitions, the UUIDs is the important part. Then open your /etc/fstab file and check that everything matches up. I'd guess that you might have added an external disk to Bazzite and there is something wrong in the fstab config now that that drive is no longer there
If you need any more assistance, Nick added my video guide for getting out of emergency mode into the Bazzite docs https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=970#emergency-mode-after-following-this-guide-29 Check the section at the end "Emergency Mode After Following This Guide?" Hopefully that will help toohaven't tried yet as I just ate but I did try booting on the steam deck afterwards and again blue screen for registry error so that confuses me
I will try what you told me now
I do have auto mount enabled in bazzite, but I hadn't booted into bazzite after putting windows on it, so adding windows broke it and it broke windows
great it also broke my surface pro 6 from booting AuroraðŸ˜
cuz I had tried booting from that first and it wasn't showing up in boot menu, but the error isn't even the same as with bazzite
ok
I'm in
you might need to run fdisk from it's actual location
/usr/sbin/fdisk -xI plugged in my rom external hard drive instead of changing fstab
the video gave me the idea
ðŸ˜
oh nvm, good news, glad you are sorted
I just got in rn
but I have one more issue
I can't login
I had tried changing the root password according to this one guide that I eventually found out wouldn't work for me cuz it's immutable when I tried doing touch ./autoreload and that failed and now the original password I had and the one I changed it to won't work
should I redo the steps I did to change it?
or did it break
since what I changed it to isn't working

what I followed for context
I would go back to terminal and type the password into the terminal. It might be a keyboard layout thing
Rather follow Nick's guide here https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=161
