When I set up Grub with dual-boot, I already had the issue of booting to a terminal instead of the selection of OS, but I brushed it off, since I could just type “exit” (sometimes I’d have to type it again in another Grub terminal that appeared shortly after) and it would show me the OS selections.

However, ever since I updated my computer to a new version of popOS, typing “exit” just puts me in a black screen. I tried running a grub fixer app, and resetting my grub configurations, but the issue is still there.

For now, I have to type a bunch of commands in order to boot my computer, which isn’t that bad, but the problem is that I’m not the only one using it, so I was wondering if anyone went through something similar and/or has a fix for this issue.

    Are there any errors in the journalctl logs? If you’re booting to blank screen or terminal there is likely a crash happening with the DE launching. Maybe that will give us more idea how to fix the issue.
