They won't start the Pops app.
Hello, I'm not sure about the steps you're taking. Your computer won't start, and you're trying to recover it. You're following this support article from System76. Since you suspect the bootloader is the issue, you're new to Linux, so you might be mistaken. It mentions that the system is in legacy mode. Your SATA drive is labeled up to 2. eda2, but that appears to be a swap partition. I don't understand what that means. The guide suggests mounting /dev/sda2 as /mnt, but it doesn't work and shows "unknown filesystem type: swap." You mentioned your PC runs as a server (Jellyfin, music, etc.) and you're worried about losing data. I know Windows better than you do, so please be gentle with me. Thanks for your patience.
I will process this command step by step.
For each item in the directory `dev dev/pts proc sys run`, I will execute:
mount a new mount point for each file, copy `/etc/resolv.conf` to the new location, and then start a chroot environment to reinstall system packages.
I attempted that but it doesn't start. The system shows I'm in emergency mode. Once logged in, run "journalctl -xr exit" to proceed.
