You got  either a bad installation ,  corrupted package, corrupted filesystem or hardware error.

What you can and should do , disconnect the drive and rescue all what you can by copying the data out.
chroot to it , and reinstall libglib2.0-0. hopefully it was just a flash error (and not a hardware error).

Pretty sure was corrupted file system (maybe connected to electrical
issues).

Managed to save /home.

Reinstalled Fedora.

Long night.

Most everything seems to be working.

Only issue so far is that GRUB doesn't find my Windows installation.

Thanks for the help.

does osprober able to find it ? if not , perhaps that fs had been also corrupted, you may be able to fix it via 

ntfsfix /dev/xxx
and then mount -o remove_hibernatefile -t ntfs-3g /dev/xxx

I strongly recommend you to check your smart logs.

Hi.

I have both Fedora and Windows 10 installed on my computer.
I can boot either using bios settings.
I have grub installed, and can boot to it.
The grub menu shows me 3 linux kernels and UEFI firmware.
It does not show me Windows.
In the attached grub.cfg file there is the following entry:

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry 'Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/sdc3)' --class windows --class os
$menuentry_id_option 'osprober-efi-3C10-1AFF' {
        insmod part_gpt
        insmod fat
        set root='hd2,gpt3'
        if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd2,gpt3
--hint-efi=hd2,gpt3 --hint-baremetal=ahci2,gpt3  3C10-1AFF
        else
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 3C10-1AFF
        fi
        chainloader /efi/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}

The entry is there, but it doesn't show when the machine boots/

Any ideas?

So, it turns out that I have two directories (each on their own mount
point):
/boot
/boot/efi

The attached grub.cfg was from /boot/efi -missing the windows entry
The correct grub.cfg was in /boot - including the missing windows entry

That makes sense since I ran grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg, and
/etc/grub2-efi.cfg is linked to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

So, the file in /etc is linked to the file in /boot but the boot process
uses the file in /boot/efi (/boot/efi/EFI/fedora)


I would think that on a efi system, the file in /etc should be linked to
the file in /boot/efi

Sound like a bug?

Any idea how I ended up with bot /boot and /boot/efi

Any reason not to change the link?

Any reason not to delete /boot/grub2 and leave /boot/efi?

Not sure where I found this, and I have this in my efi/grub file,
but you can chain the EFI grub.cfg to the one you're generating (just make
sure to change the uuid for the disk)

```
#/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=dev 38b0586f-2715-4493-a548-e12902f1b68d
set prefix=($dev)/grub2
export $prefix
configfile $prefix/grub.cfg
```
