Its too new of a graphics card for the driver that comes with it. Please upgrade to the nvidia-exp vanilla image

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 1:21 PM

#

stiff root Its too new of a graphics card for the driver that comes with it. Please upgrade...

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 1:22 PM

#

theres a guide for it somewhere on the docs. basically changing a file and letting it do its thing

Sup, thats the image. theres a guide on upgrading

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 1:55 PM

#

stiff root Sup, thats the image. theres a guide on upgrading

yes and i tried upgrading

#

now my whole thing is tripping

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 1:55 PM

#

grim cobalt

every single abroot command i do sends this

#

abroot --help doesnt work

#

like any abroot command just sends the same message back

#

even after restarting

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 1:56 PM

#

tried rebootin? ABroot is for swapping between the 2 init systems

#

before that maybe try undoing changes?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 1:57 PM

#

i tried rebooting yeah idk what to do anymore

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 1:57 PM

#

stiff root before that maybe try undoing changes?

how?

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 1:57 PM

#

there should be a guide for it on the documentation. it restores your system to the previous state

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 1:57 PM

#

ohhh

#

yes

#

wait here

#

eh

#

bro

#

what

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:01 PM

#

stiff root there should be a guide for it on the documentation. it restores your system to ...

now my whole ass abroot is gone 😭

#

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:01 PM

#

As a note: dont use ABRoot lightly. it is only supossed to be used for things that require root and goes against the philosophy of the os.

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

grim cobalt now my whole ass abroot is gone 😭

Please share the guide you followed. Im very confused rn

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

okay wait

#

yo i could screenshare?

#

if u want me to

#

in like a general channel

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

Im on my phone rn, so cant really do that.

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

ah okay

#

https://docs.vanillaos.org/handbook/en/nvidia-issues

The documentation website for Vanilla OS

#

and then scroll down to my gpu is too new

#

i did that

#

and then my abroot didnt work

#

now i rebooted and my whole abroot is gone 😭

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:03 PM

#

What section did you do?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:03 PM

#

My GPU is too new
If your GPU is too new and not supported by the current drivers, you can try to switch to our nvidia-exp image, which contains the latest drivers available, but keep in mind that this image is experimental as well the drivers it contains, so you might experience some issues and we might not be able to help you with them.

To switch to the nvidia-exp image, you can run the following command:

abroot config-editor

content_copy
here change the name parameter to vanilla-os/nvidia-exp and save the file. Then run:

abroot upgrade -f

content_copy
once done, reboot your system to start using the new drivers.

#

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:04 PM

#

that should be right. its very weird. Lets wait for one of the ABroot gods to hop into this thread. Dont panic

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:04 PM

#

okay

#

yk i could just reset and do it again?

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:04 PM

#

did you run any other command?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:05 PM

#

stiff root did you run any other command?

nope

#

i mean i tried installing the drivers before]

#

in a different way

#

but i can just reset this image and reinstall

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:05 PM

#

grim cobalt yk i could just reset and do it again?

I guess, if you are willing to reinstall it will solve it LOL. On install just go for advanced install and use the pico nvidia-exp image

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:06 PM

#

oh? fr

#

okay ill do that

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:06 PM

#

so where it asks for the image give it ghcr.io/vanilla-os/nvidia-exp i believe it is.

#

and it will use that image instead of the desktop one

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:06 PM

#

do i need to install it before?

umbral talon Oct 4, 2024, 2:06 PM

#

ghcr.io/vanilla-os/nvidia-exp:main

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:06 PM

#

okay so

#

i will boot from the usb and install it again

#

with express install

#

once im there

#

in 2 minutes

#

ill show u it if u can say if i click on what

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

Do you happen to know what could have happened to ABRoot wooden?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

stiff root Do you happen to know what could have happened to ABRoot wooden?

#

i dont work with linux 😭

umbral talon Oct 4, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

grim cobalt no idea

"Wooden" is me

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

i have been on windows for 7 years but never used linux

#

umbral talon Oct 4, 2024, 2:08 PM

#

stiff root Do you happen to know what could have happened to ABRoot wooden?

And no, not the damnedest. Genuinely never seen something like this.

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:08 PM

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:11 PM

#

Please dont ping.

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:12 PM

#

alright im installing now

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:12 PM

#

stiff root Please dont ping.

mb

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

Don't worry. Keep in mind it's on the rules.

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:14 PM

#

ah okay wont do anymore

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:21 PM

#

How is it going?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:22 PM

#

hella bad

#

reinstalled now its just stuck at nothing 😭😭😭

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:51 PM

#

stiff root How is it going?

alright bro everytime i do the custom image thing it doesnt work at all.

#

it just stays stuck at the wallpaper and i cant open any apps or anything

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:52 PM

#

Do you manage to install?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:52 PM

#

wdym??

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:52 PM

#

No secure boot?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:52 PM

#

i dont understand

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

Well. After install it restarts once and starts the software selection part. Asks if you want a browser and so. Then it actually restarts to the os.

#

Did you set encryption?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

this is all it does legit stay stuck on the wallpaper

#

wait imma send pic

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_47ec1eda-40f3-4b8b-acaf-06ec285675a4.jpg

#

ye i did the restart

#

after that there should be a gui for installation

#

it just doesnt pop up

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

stiff root Did you set encryption?

yes

#

and then it asks like password and i put correctly

#

i tried reinstalling 3x already

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

Is it a laptop?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

bo

#

no

#

pc

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

Encryption has proven problematic for PCs with Nvidia graphics in the part

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_fb197798-5308-46fc-8185-0e7103514aff.jpg

#

ok so again but no encrypt

#

ill try

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

Don't use it unless it's a device that can be physically stolen and you care about the data not being accesible through recovery tools

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

okay

#

im reinstalling again

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

stiff root Don't use it unless it's a device that can be physically stolen and you care abo...

alr still dont work

#

it reboots but does not bring me to the install page thing

#

is the link invalid

#

??

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:07 PM

#

What do you see this time

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:07 PM

#

same

#

just the wallpaper

#

no installation

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

So no install menu?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

nope

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

Or do you actually get to install

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

it has to be the installation disk

#

no

#

ill do the normal install

#

and then do it via the guide

#

hey bro

#

yo spanish hans

#

it asks me to install nvidia drivers with the normall installation

#

yes or no

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:09 PM

#

What

#

Screenshots please. Very lost

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_1c23680b-909b-4d3d-9fb4-61d5154fe858.jpg

#

yes or no?

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

I would go with the experimental

#

This image has old drivers

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

okay so new iso???

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:11 PM

#

No, use advanced install.

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:11 PM

#

but bro

#

it doesnt work

#

the advanced install

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:11 PM

#

What do you see. Please describe. The installer is fully online, so things might take a second to load

#

It's very different from other distros in that regard

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

okay so if i choose the normal install it will do it no problem

#

if i choose the advanced install

#

it will reboot after install

#

and instead of giving me the installation window

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

No. You will have the same problem as before. It will install drivers that don't support your graphics card.

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

it just shows my wallpaper

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

stiff root No. You will have the same problem as before. It will install drivers that don't...

yeah but advanced doesnt work

#

atleast this gives me a os

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

What iso are you using? Is it recent?

#

It might be a bug. I don't yet understand what doesn't work with advanced. Once you go into the installer mode, when you click on advanced it closes?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:18 PM

#

stiff root What iso are you using? Is it recent?

recent

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:18 PM

#

stiff root It might be a bug. I don't yet understand what doesn't work with advanced. Once ...

no bro

#

listen

#

once i do the advanced installer

#

it works i choose all the steps

#

keyboard and all that

#

and then

#

it reboots for the other part of installation

#

but instead of showinf the installation window it shows only my wallpaper

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:21 PM

#

Alright. So what might be happening is that because of encryption you set before, disk is now write protected. Do you have a Debian or Slackware image you can live boot into? We will try to override all partitions on that disk with a big one on ext4

#

After blanking the disk, retry install

#

Are you trying to Dualboot?

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 3:27 PM

#

yes

#

dualboot

#

i blanked the disk before already

#

im doing the abroot thing

#

itd working now

#

so i ddi the guide thing

#

and if i plug my gpu in rn it stays black

#

alright after doing the abroot config thing it wont open any thing up

#

like black box

#

legit nothing works

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

Dualboot Is not supported.

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

bru

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

stiff root Dualboot Is not supported.

cap

#

it works just fine

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

Great to hear, but it might break any second

#

Just so u know

#

The abroot system shares the /boot/EFI partition with windows unless you specified vanilla to use a different partition manually.

#

Because of the way abroot works, you might have trouble later.

grim cobalt Oct 4, 2024, 7:41 PM

#

its a diff disk

stiff root Oct 4, 2024, 8:24 PM

#

Ah then it should be ok. This is the only correct way of doing it actually. One /boot/EFI partition per disk

grim cobalt Oct 5, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

stiff root Ah then it should be ok. This is the only correct way of doing it actually. One ...

alright spanish hans any abroot command ruins my whole system

#

the abroot pkg add gnome-tweaks
abroot pkg apply

#

after doing those commands it absolutely destroys my system and i cant do anything anymore

#

it boots to the system then if i click any application it doesnt open

#

is there any reccomendation to fix this?

#

rn im on vanilla os

#

i fixed the gpu issues

stiff root Oct 5, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

No clue my dude. No expert on abroot. I just know it's delicate

grim cobalt Oct 5, 2024, 1:54 PM

#

stiff root No clue my dude. No expert on abroot. I just know it's delicate

could u maybe get someone that knows the abroot things to help here?

stiff root Oct 6, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

I believe this thread has changed topic now. Please create a new one with the ABroot problems. Im sure someone more experienced on the nuances of it can help you. I could only offer my help on the Nvidia Issue.

stiff root Oct 6, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

grim cobalt could u maybe get someone that knows the abroot things to help here?

Cant do that, sorry.
