I have no idea what happened, but my #PopOS installation will no longer boot. From what I can tell it doesn't find any disks, because there aren't any I can see in initramfs. I booted into a live system and checked that both disks are there. I was able to mount my system partition perfectly fine. It does have the expected UUID as well and I could print the one page I wanted without any issues.

I tried chroot and update-initramfs, but it didn't help.

I used and updated the laptop yesterday. 😩

@mforester Good luck with restoring your PopOS! system, mate.

@thopan thank you. 🙂

I was just thinking if I should wipe everything and install it from scratch.

There's another SSD in the laptop that's the same size and empty. 😅

I just need to install the OS and copy a handful of files over. It's probably much faster than finding and fixing the error.

@mforester Definitely. I did it a short while back after my audio setup got borked, too. I guess it's the pragmatic way.

@thopan pragmatic, but unsatisfying. 😅

But then again, I found a solution with which I can keep my files and it's by far the easiest. And there was something wrong with the config anyway, because software installed as flatpaks would sometimes just not show up in the launcher.

I've also been thinking about trying something other than Pop OS, but I've gotten so used to the tiling manager and it's hotkeys. 😁

@mforester Yeah, the tiling is a neat feature without using i3 or some other dedicated tiling wm. I use some GNOME extension for that.
