Cannot boot after upgrade to 12.5

[wmf39]

I work with a VBox VM for testing Spirallinux. After dist-upgrade and autoremove --purge the system no longer boots. The system uses the default encryption setup chosen by installer. When I enter the correct password, it shows the efi-gui. if wrong, it shows the grub-shell. What to do?

I repaired via booting the iso, mounting the crypto-partition, doing some bind-mounts, chroot and doing snapper-rollback. But there is still a problem with the updates, a try with Discover also failed. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there, we would really need a lot more information about the error messages.

I've updated my stable gnome version today with sudo apt update && sudo apt list --upgradable && sleep 2 && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && flatpak update -y No issues at all

But I didn't do a dist-upgrade. I don't know why I should do a dist-upgrade either

I wished I could, but there are no error messages. The updates run without errors, but on restart it fails with described behaviour.

@AlphaElwedritsch
Tested with apt upgrade too, but same problem.

Edit: I tested again and rolled back to the first btrfs snapshot generated after fresh install. Updated, worked. So I think, the problem was made when I switched to Debian Testing. Cause I perceived it very unstable, I switched back to stable via btrfs snapshot. Unfortunately I did this with snapper rollback and not snapper-rollback. Maybe that was the cause, I have no other explanation.

Ah, my apologies, I misunderstood that it was throwing error messages when you tried to initiate the update process.

The issue of snapper rollback vs snapper-rollback sounds like a likely explanation. I would probably recommend backing up your /home and re-installing as the easiest solution, if possible.

Thank you, for now I will continue with the updated snapshot-1. It is just for test and there are no important data in /home.
