      Hello!
      After the last update where I was offered to update GRUB and which I did, now I am turning on my laptop to a blank screen where I usually used to get the LUKS password entry screen.
      Using antiX 17.4.1 x64 bit. Do I have a way back? Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.
      Thanks in advance.

      P.S. If it may help, I think I must have installed it to wrong partition, I’m not sure.

        Use the live cd/usb and run bootrepair app.

        antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

          Thanks, anticapitalista!
          Running the bootrepair app returns following error “Could not set up chroot environment. Please double-check the selected location.”

            Which location did you select? Or did that error appear as you opened the app?

              The error appeared both times after I tried to repair and also when trying to reinstall GRUB.

              I selected to install on MBR (options were: MBR, root, ESP).

              Location was set to: sda.

              /boot location was set to: sda1 (options to choose from were: sda1, sda2, sda3)

              P.S.: My partitions, their types, sizes are:
              sda1 — ext4 — 512 MB (boot)
              sda2 — crypt-luks — 463.23 GB (home)
              sda3 — crypt-luks — 2 GB (swap)
