Need help PLEASE... with Bootefi repair or Grub?

Hi I need help fixing the boot up or Grub I'm not sure which? When I try to boot up Namib KDE it fails and it gives me some options but none work. Option to view logs or reboot or default or exit. I end up having to ctrl+alt+del to restart my laptop. I have multi-boot with Windows 10 64 bit, Archman KDE and Namib KDE. Originally I had Arcolinux in place of Windows 10. Since I added Windows Ive had problems.

it was a bad choice on my part to install Windows I know that now but I need help to recover Namib even if I lose Windows that's ok, I don't about that. I just need to get back my Namib. I love it and I put in a of time setting it up and I need the files also. and I didnt back it up. BIG MISTAKE!!!

PLEASE if anyone can help that would be great!! I have the live usb I just need to know the commands to repair it..
Thank you and I appreciate this distro and I love it.

Ive had no problems with it besides the ones I've created from not being experienced with Linux, not writing code, or terminal knowledge. I'm trying to learn more. Thanks again, GL

Hi,
Can you provide any screenshots/pictures that can help to solve your problems. A picture of your boot loader would help a lot.

Thank you

sorry i'm not sure how to do a screenshot while booting... i just know when it fails to boot, the option it gives is "

Ctrl + D

" then its asks for root password and it just repeats that over and over? I'm not sure what else you need to know? I know thats not much info and I apologize, my Linux skill set is beginner at best. but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... thank you for responding

Hi,
No worries, any picture taken with a phone would have made the job. It’s look like the kernel is not loading correctly or something. What you can try it’s to see if one of the fallback kernel is loading. Go in advanced in the boot menu and try to load one of the « fallback » kernel.

hi, i tried loading the fallback kernel already and it did the same thing, i did take pics of the boot but im not sure how to upload them on to here

Hi,
I added an upload option, you can now upload image. It's the button just after the eye when you make a post.

Try something different. When your login screen comes up press Crtl+Alt+F2 this should get you to a tty2 login screen where you type in your user name, then password. Enter the following without the quotes "sudo update-grub" plus password. If that comes back with a common update, then enter "systemctl reboot" see if that fixes your problem.
