I will try this again later (I’m away from the PC right now) and let you know. I am hesitant to unplug my drives again because it caused some annoying issues last time. Is that part necessary? I’m doubtful it’s related to my data drives since they are running perfectly right now.
I am accessing the files on the PC but from the web browser of another PC. I am running filebrowser in docker and I can open the browser on my laptop and navigate to my files on the frozen PC. I can watch shows, download new things, save files, edit, ect. All completely functional as long as I can access the functionality through one of my docker apps. This is all happening on the PC that is stuck. So even though the screen is frozen, the PC has actually fully booted up and is running.
Boot-Repair shows a grub.cfg in /boot/grub, but report does not show its details. Sometimes grub.cfg can be long, so not sure if it does not show it always?
It does show the normal 3 line grub.cfg in the ESP. both UEFI partuuid and UUIDs of root all look correct.
I might try from Boot-Repair, advanced mode total reinstall of grub and latest kernel, just to refresh entries.
Sorry for the delay, I was unable to troubleshoot for a bit.
Reinstalling grub and the latest kernel won’t affect any of my files right? If I am understanding correctly, this just affects the EFI partition on my drive? I think I did run the reinstall grub when I did the original boot repair recommended fix. Are the options I’m looking for now, the “purge GRUB before reinstalling it” and “purge kernels then reinstall last kernel”?
(edit: removed comment about sssd dependency errors, as I resolved the error but my issue persists)
