Can't login following grub reinstall

Support
1

Folks, Feeling fairly pleased with myself for getting through the reinstall of grub2 following moving my /boot forward (and bigger) and watching my machine boot into the gdm login screen - I’m now totally unable to login to any account: root, me (user), graphical, tty or ssh. Nada.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, shifting around /boot and reinstalling the grub2 uefi stuff doesn’t seem to touch upon whether I can login, but…

Here’s what I get returned from an attempted ssh login:
me@mymachine:~$ ssh ``root@192.168.1.150
root@192.168.1.150``’s password:
Read from remote host 192.168.1.150: Connection reset by peer
Connection to 192.168.1.150 closed.
client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
my@mymachine:~$

I wonder if anyone is able to give me some direction…

Thank you, Morgan

Hello,

Try with this:

ssh -v root@192.168.1.150

And paste the output.

Regards.

Hmm, from my phone via dropbear, all I get is:

~ $ ssh -v root@192.168.0.211
WARNING: Ignoring unknown option -v
root@192.168.0.211’s password:

ssh: Connection to root@192.168.0.211:22 exited: Remote closed the connection
~ $

I’ll try again when I have a full version of ssh.

Here’s the output from a real ssh with all the "Vs”:-

I’m not sure it’s very informative :wink:

Thanks, M
