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. removed 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
Tried the 3 options I had in the UEFI boot menu but no dice on either annoyingly.
Tried all the ones that my BIOS picks up but no dice :/
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 :')
