Omarchy won't install

[cosmic steeple]

Hi, i've been trying to install omarchy on my PC and i cant, i want to punch my screen so much, for what i see its a problem with the encryption of my disk or something like that idk, here is the error log:

Omarchy installation stopped!

This command halted with exit code 0:

[cosmic steeple]

no

it doesnt work

[cosmic steeple]

idk it says that it cant get to the https or something like that i dont remember

[viral glen]

I am getting the same message FWIW

[cosmic steeple]

These are the logs

[hearty hearth]

Definately looks like it's getting stuck on disk encryption. Probably a dumb question but you did set a passphrase right? Did it have any weird or special characters?

[cosmic steeple]

https://justpaste.it/cazuj

[cosmic steeple]

No, its a normal passphrase

It has 5 characters

Its really easy

I tried with a long passphrase, a short one, a one that has every character in the world NOTHING WORKS😕

[merry plover]

do not use hostname with capital letters like Iron-Man use ironman instead

[cosmic steeple]

Ok i try

[cosmic steeple]

Same error, i wrote ironman

On username i wrote my name juanito, on Full Name i wrote Juan Felix Garcia Amills, on gmail [email protected] what im doing wrong

[merry plover]

nothing from the logs

is fastboot secureboot off?

in bios?

do and ls

see if you have user_configuration.json and user_credentials.json

then do archinstall --config user_configuration.json --creds user_credentials.json --silent

[cosmic steeple]

Yes

[cosmic steeple]

Ok i try and i say you what it showed

[merry plover]

oke

[cosmic steeple]

Where do i change that?

[merry plover]

so after the installation fails

are you using omarchy iso

[cosmic steeple]

Yeah, the installation failed and i clicked exit so now im at the terminal

[merry plover]

ok

[cosmic steeple]

And i did archinstall --config

[merry plover]

good

now go to install

[cosmic steeple]

Ok

[merry plover]

okey

so go back

go to disk configuration

[cosmic steeple]

Ok

What do i select

Disk configuration type

[merry plover]

partitioning

use a best effort default partition layout

[cosmic steeple]

Yeah and then, i have to clarify that i would like later to make a dual boot with windows

[merry plover]

you cannot do so

first install windows

[cosmic steeple]

Ok, should i select on bootloader grub for the dualboot or its not needed?

[merry plover]

then install minimal arch

[cosmic steeple]

But i cant omarchy?

[merry plover]

then apply omarchy on top

[cosmic steeple]

Oh

[merry plover]

think of omarchy as a DE like gnome

[cosmic steeple]

But i cant firts install omarchy and then windows? Why

[cosmic steeple]

Yeah yeah i know

[merry plover]

because omarchy uses the whole disk, encrypt it with LUKS2

you cannot make space available for windows then

so install windows

create free space in the ssd

install arch manually

in the free space

create 2 partitions : efi > 2gb

:root > the rest of the free space

[cosmic steeple]

2 partitions of EFI?

Both with 2 gb?

[merry plover]

2 partitions : efi and root

[cosmic steeple]

Oh yeah yeah sorry misunderstood

[merry plover]

no worries

limine bootloader needs 2 gb of EFI

[cosmic steeple]

And you know any windows that has no stupid apps and a lot of bloatware?

[merry plover]

sorry no

[cosmic steeple]

That comes preoptimized and that i just want it for some videogames i will just use linux

[merry plover]

use the official one

[cosmic steeple]

Ok ok thanks

[merry plover]

i don't trust any windows iso unless it comes from microsoft

[cosmic steeple]

I do that and then if i have the same problem with omarchy i come back it wont take me so much i think for windows installation

[cosmic steeple]

Yeah, normal

Thank you so much

[merry plover]

after you install arch, as per the omarchy manuall in the manual instalaltion mode you should be good

https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-omarchy-manual/96/manual-installation

[cosmic steeple]

🤜 🤛

[cosmic steeple]

hey man

i have windows

and im at the archinstall

i have all configured to install, i made a swap partition with 8GB, a root with 100GB and a home with 400GB

[merry plover]

how about EFI?

2 gbs

[cosmic steeple]

so i install minimal arch and then i will be able to install omarchy

[cosmic steeple]

oh yeah thats what i wanted to ask

i already have the windows EFI, shouldnt i use that?

its only 200Mb

[merry plover]

no no , create another

limine needs 2gbs

[cosmic steeple]

i create another one with 2Gb and assign the mountpoin /boot/efi?

[cosmic steeple]

oh, i use grub or limine?

[merry plover]

did you went over the manual?

Run archinstall and pick these options (and leave anything not mentioned as-is):
Section Option
Mirrors and repositories Select regions > Your country
Disk configuration Partitioning > Default partitioning layout > Select disk (with space + return)
Disk > File system btrfs (default structure: yes + use compression)
Disk > Disk encryption Encryption type: LUKS + Encryption password + Partitions (select the one)
Hostname Give your computer a name
Bootloader Limine
Authentication > Root password Set yours
Authentication > User account Add a user > Superuser: Yes > Confirm and exit
Applications > Audio pipewire
Network configuration Copy ISO network config
Timezone Set yours

[cosmic steeple]

no, i thought that was for when i already had arch

[merry plover]

Beware that you must setup disk encryption to use Omarchy as designed! The setup relies exclusively on disk encryption to secure your device, as it'll auto-login the user after the disk has been decrypted at boot.

Just note that this encryption setup won't allow you to enter the password from a Bluetooth keyboard at startup. Just like you can't use a Bluetooth keyboard to enter the BIOS on a PC. You'll need a keyboard that either uses a 2.4ghz dongle or a cable (which is much nicer for latency anyway!). I personally love the Lofree Flow84!

Here's what the disk encryption setup should look like. You need to pick LUKS, then set the encryption password, then apply to the partition (this step is crucial or nothing gets encrypted!):

arch-encryption.png

Once Arch has been installed, pick reboot, login with the user you just setup, and now you're ready to install Omarchy by running:

curl -fsSL https://omarchy.org/install | bash

It'll first ask you to sudo, then shortly thereafter, it'll ask for your name and email address. Those credentials are used to preconfigure git (git config --global user.name/email) and set for auto-expansion on CapsLock Space E (email) and CapsLock Space N (name). After that, it'll run by itself for 5-30 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. When it's all done, it'll ask for your permission to reboot the system.

Now you're ready to Omarchy!

[merry plover]

you are doing a manual install of arch but need to follow the omarchy manual

[cosmic steeple]

ok ok, i restarted arch install, i do step by step if i need something i say it

[merry plover]

oke

[cosmic steeple]

if i do that it uses all my disk

if i use the suggest partition layout

[merry plover]

you can use pre-mounted configuration

if you created mounpoints

[cosmic steeple]

ok if i use that now it asks me for a root mount directory

what do i write

[merry plover]

mnt / or mnt

[cosmic steeple]

?

i write "/"

[merry plover]

ok

let's hope it works like that

you made the partition btrfs yes

[cosmic steeple]

no i did nothing right now

[merry plover]

oh

[cosmic steeple]

im at partitioning

you said i could use pre mount configuration

[merry plover]

if you created btrfs partiton for root

[cosmic steeple]

if i enter there it asks for root mount directory

[merry plover]

you installed arch before right?

[cosmic steeple]

yeah

[merry plover]

ok, so the efi needs to be fat32 with flag boot , /root needs to be btrfs with subvolumes

[cosmic steeple]

ok ok, so you saying that i have to go to manual partitioning like always

not pre mounted configuration

[merry plover]

yes, after you create the partitons and mountpoints then you can use pre-mounted partitions with archinstall

[cosmic steeple]

EFI created with mountpoint /boot/efi and 2GB

[merry plover]

follow the omarchy manual for required bootloader , pipewire etc

[cosmic steeple]

now i create one for root and one for home?

/ and /home separate

?

and the swap is needed?

8GB?

[merry plover]

i got 4 gbs

of swap

[cosmic steeple]

ok so 100GB for root and 400 for home is good?

[merry plover]

yeah

should do fine

[cosmic steeple]

and btrfs of filesystem? not ext4? why

ext 4 is more stable and fast right?

[cosmic steeple]

i dont understand

with btrfs i cant set the mountpoint

and when it says compressed i have to mark where it says mark/unmark as compressed? both? root and home?

[merry plover]

btrfs is used in omarchy to have snapshots support

if you dont want it

use ext4 with luks2 encryption

[cosmic steeple]

do i want it?

its useful?

[merry plover]

it's useful if your system crashes you can restore from snapshot

idk what to tell you

[cosmic steeple]

ok, so /root and /home, now how do i set the mountpoint for them?

[merry plover]

i used the ISO and formatted the whole SSD

[cosmic steeple]

ok i will use ext4

it should work right?

[merry plover]

mkfs.btrfs -f "$root_part"
mount "$root_part" /mnt
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/@
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/@home
umount /mnt
mount -o noatime,compress=zstd,subvol=@ "$root_part" /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/home
mount -o noatime,compress=zstd,subvol=@home "$root_part" /mnt/home

Mount EFI partition

mkdir -p /mnt/boot
mount "$efi_part" /mnt/boot

then use pre-mounted and select mnt / for root

[cosmic steeple]

i can do that without commands right?

i have all the partitions

root (100GB + ext4)

[merry plover]

now mounted them

[cosmic steeple]

/home (400GB + ext4)

and the swap anf efi

[merry plover]

mount "$efi_part" /mnt/boot

mount "$root_part" /mnt

then use pacstrap to install : pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux btrfs-progs reflector curl linux-firmware grub efibootmgr networkmanager sudo

or use archinstall

[merry plover]

however you want

ok

you have them mounted

use archinstall

select at disk configuration pre-mounted

[cosmic steeple]

Yes im here

[merry plover]

/

should be

[cosmic steeple]

Ok, now disk encryption

LUKS

[merry plover]

luks

yes

next password

[cosmic steeple]

Ok password settled

[merry plover]

partitions

space to select /root and home

[cosmic steeple]

I cant enter partition

[merry plover]

hmm

another idea

use cachy-os iso

to create and install minimal arch

then apply omarchy

[cosmic steeple]

why?

its not good with arch?

i have to flash another ISO to my usb?

[merry plover]

yes

but that has a live environment

[cosmic steeple]

But why, i have almost all good here on arch

[merry plover]

well because i don't know why it does not let you continue

[amber tinsel]

Maybe this helps you

https://linux.fernandocejas.com/docs/guides/mount-luks-partition-for-system-recovery

[cosmic steeple]

Now it works

[merry plover]

awesome

[cosmic steeple]

Its because when i went to pre mounted configuration and wrote / it deleted all the partitions

[merry plover]

continue with the steps

[cosmic steeple]

Which partitions i select

[merry plover]

root and home

[cosmic steeple]

Ok root and home selected

[merry plover]

now go back

[cosmic steeple]

Ok nice

[merry plover]

go to swap

then to bootloader

etc

as per omarchy manual

[cosmic steeple]

Ok

ok all done

only thing is that on the image in the manual the guy says that disk encryption should look like this

And mine looks like this

Should i change itineration time?

if its good i install it right?

[stone dew]

So you can't essentially make partitions like a normal arch install?

I haven't tried installing omarchy from the iso

shoving it on top of arch feels like a much easier choice rather than rely on all the abstractions the iso gives. It's mostly archinstall tho

[stone dew]

yes

[cosmic steeple]

yes?

[stone dew]

leave it as it is

[cosmic steeple]

ok

i install

im scared

then i dont know what more to do, probably its on the manual

[stone dew]

Don't be

[cosmic steeple]

oh

[stone dew]

you can try again

[cosmic steeple]

it says boot partition not found

[stone dew]

keep trying until you get it right

[stone dew]

Did you create a separate /boot for EFI ?

[cosmic steeple]

I created one named /boot/efi

[stone dew]

wait

[cosmic steeple]

ok

[cosmic steeple]

i wait

[stone dew]

can you mount it on just /boot ?

instead of /boot/efi

[cosmic steeple]

ok but then i wont have the efi partition right?

[cosmic steeple]

i create one with /boot and one with /efi?

[stone dew]

no just /boot

that's the one for your efi

[cosmic steeple]

i delete the /boot/efi then

well

asign the new mountpoint

no need to delete it

[stone dew]

wait

you have windows installed?

[cosmic steeple]

yes

[stone dew]

I see a FAT partition on top

[cosmic steeple]

i have it

i wanna do dualboot

[stone dew]

Normally, you don't need to create a separate efi parition in case you already have one

just use it

the first one

mount it on /boot/efi

[cosmic steeple]

he said i had to create a new one

that has 2GB

i dont understand, what do i have to do?

[stone dew]

let me check the arch wiki

[cosmic steeple]

ok thanks

[stone dew]

You can go both ways

Using the same efi partition should work

then you can use the same bootloader for both linux and windows

[cosmic steeple]

ok and then why he said i needed 2GB

for the bootloader or something? i dont know probably 200MB is not so much for windows, linux and bootloader at the same place?

[stone dew]

Where did he say that?

[cosmic steeple]

and then what do i do? i delete my efi partition and pot /boot/efi on the windows one?

[cosmic steeple]

i try to search the message

[cosmic steeple]

.

here

[merry plover]

limine bootloader takes 2gb as it's using UKI

unified kernel images

[cosmic steeple]

ok so, what do i do

[stone dew]

Ah, then listen to him. I was thinking of Grub

I don't know much about limine

[cosmic steeple]

because with the efi partition i created its not detecting the /boot

[cosmic steeple]

ok

[merry plover]

so don't worry if the manual looks a bit different than yours

continue with the archinstall setup

[cosmic steeple]

yeah yeah

but its not working

[cosmic steeple]

look

[stone dew]

his setup isn't detecting the /boot

[merry plover]

the mountpoint should be /boot/efi

[stone dew]

Could be because he's missing the bootable flag?

[merry plover]

or simply boot

[stone dew]

it is /boot/efi

[merry plover]

let me check on mine

[stone dew]

I simply use /boot, as arch wiki suggests

[merry plover]

yes is boot

[cosmic steeple]

should i add boot and esp flag? like the windows one

ok so /boot not /boot/efi

[stone dew]

yes

and add the flag

[merry plover]

that's how is setup on mine

[cosmic steeple]

but the flag esp?

i have the flag boot, the flag esp i add it too?

[merry plover]

i think boot will suffice

[cosmic steeple]

ok it works

it was the flag

[stone dew]

You could use /boot/efi as well in case your bootloader can load the kernel image from the root

This is how my main machine is configured

[cosmic steeple]

ok it needed the flag esp, if not it wont let me install

now it wok

works

i install ok??

[stone dew]

great

[stone dew]

yeah, it needs to know the partition is bootable

[stone dew]

yes

[merry plover]

let's goooo!!!!

[cosmic steeple]

even if it doesnt work thank you both so much

i love you for being so patient

[stone dew]

linux is all about being patient

[merry plover]

takes time and a lots of reading to do it but it's acomplishing when it works

[cosmic steeple]

yeah i know, but this time i had to ask for help i couldnt make it wokr

ok, now its booting directly on windows

it doesnt show limine

well, now its on the bios screen "repairing"

[merry plover]

so the install of arch completed?

[cosmic steeple]

yeah

[merry plover]

reboot windows and press f2 or f8 to access the bootmenu

from there select the drive with linux

[cosmic steeple]

it doesnt work

ok i have to go run sorry

in 30 minutes im back

thank you see you later

[merry plover]

oke

[stone dew]

go into boot menu

and select limine

f9 or f10 or f12

depending on your system

You'd need to adjust your boot order in the bios

[cosmic steeple]

Ok im at home

Lets see if that works

[merry plover]

let's goo

[cosmic steeple]

wait

its necesary to have encryption password?

i dont like that i have to put my password everytime i open linux, i mean its ok for the admin password inside the system but for opening the disk...

and its not working

im writing the passphrase i wrote and it doesnt work, i reinstall arch?

[merry plover]

so it asks for your encryption password you have set in archinstall

[cosmic steeple]

yeah i know

and its not working

or i wrote it badly or idk

i tried a lot of times

its no problem. i reinstall and lets se if it works i already have the archinstall prepared

[amber tinsel]

maybe you didnt select right keyboard language (qwertz/qerty)

[cosmic steeple]

i do that?

[merry plover]

it's still at first arch minimal boot

[cosmic steeple]

i think i did its with the normal english keyboard, im spanish but i use the normal keyboard

[amber tinsel]

thats what happend for me atleast, typing password and was wondering why it didnt worked

[merry plover]

then if you cannot decrypt the disk the only choice is reinstall 😩

now you know how

[cosmic steeple]

yeah hahah, i will be fast don worry

its not possible to not have the disk encrypted?

or atleast not having to put the password?

[merry plover]

thing is omarchy uses encryption to send you straight to the desktop

no login manager

with no encryption and no login manager

is insecure

but is your system, do as you like

[cosmic steeple]

ohhhhh now i understand why when i logged in it lastet more than other systems

ok ok no i understand

do i change the swap option? its by default checked the option swap on zram

[cosmic steeple]

but i've seen on google that its not needed when you have a good pc

its just for pc with bad RAM

[stone dew]

Disk encryption is for security

[cosmic steeple]

im not talking about that

[stone dew]

like if someone gets access to your drive

[cosmic steeple]

im talking about the option swap on zram

[stone dew]

they won't be able to get inside because of encryption

[stone dew]

oh yeah

[cosmic steeple]

yeah yeah that has no arguing to do, i need a password is logical, i was talking about that option i said

[stone dew]

It wouldn't hurt to have swap tbh

but you can set it later as well

so it's not an issue

[cosmic steeple]

but should i have it or not?

its better if i just have it on?

[stone dew]

Yeah

[merry plover]

have it

[cosmic steeple]

ok ty

installing arch...

[cosmic steeple]

Bruh

Now this

https://tenor.com/view/brain-hurts-gif-12096381820083648834

[cosmic steeple]

what can i do

[merry plover]

look man i try to help you but please download a ISO with a GUI

like cachyos or calamarch

https://sourceforge.net/projects/blue-arch-installer/

it has a live GUI

[cosmic steeple]

ok man i'll doit for you

haha

[merry plover]

so you can do it visually

have access to wifi and arch wiki

[cosmic steeple]

but before it worked well

idk why now it shows this

[merry plover]

idk either

boot the ISO and open gparted

[stone dew]

Probably your mount points are wrong

your /boot partition should have the kernel image

and it should be mounted to /mnt/boot

[cosmic steeple]

Everything good or its normal?

[merry plover]

are you trying to boot an ISO?

it failed

is the usbdrive formatted GPT?

or is it MBR?

[cosmic steeple]

i used balena to flash the iso of the one you said to me

[merry plover]

i see, balena etcher writes then in MBR for some reason

are you on windows?

use rufus or ventoy

[cosmic steeple]

ok

[cosmic steeple]

Which one i select?

I think i did well with partitions right?

[stone dew]

are you trying to install omarchy on top of this?

[cosmic steeple]

Yeah, the other guy said i should do it with this ISO

[stone dew]

Ok, then go for no desktop

since omarchy will handle that

[cosmic steeple]

Ok nice

[cosmic steeple]

Ok

I installed it

But it didn't give me option to choose grub or limine

I have it installed

[stone dew]

Now just follow rest of the omarchy manual

Manual installation one

[cosmic steeple]

Oh perfect

I will later when i come home

I have to go bye

[cosmic steeple]

Could not resolve host:

[cosmic steeple]

Its not working

[stone dew]

are you using ethernet?

or wifi

[cosmic steeple]

No, wifi

But i think its already connected

Or not?

[stone dew]

did you connect wifi?

do ping archlinux.org

[cosmic steeple]

Oh no, it was with the other installer that let me save the same wifi config with this one not

But iwctl doesnt work look

[stone dew]

because iwd isn't downloaded

[cosmic steeple]

Oh and what do i do?

I think its installed but now working right?

[stone dew]

Yeha

yeah

systemctl status iwd

show output

if this doesn't workdo systemctl --user status iwd

[stone dew]

systemct --user enable iwd

systemct --user start iwd

[cosmic steeple]

I already enabled i think with another command

With yours doesn't work

Oh yeak working

I did systemctl enable iwd.service

And then start

Im learning...

https://tenor.com/view/roblos-gif-6492212287825948119

[stone dew]

check the status of wlan0

[stone dew]

no ip addr

dhcpcd wlan0

[stone dew]

try pinging now

[cosmic steeple]

Ok

It works

[cosmic steeple]

I try the curl command for omarchy again right?

[stone dew]

yes

[cosmic steeple]

Wow...

https://tenor.com/view/的9-gif-12565004940729182637

[stone dew]

I'm going to tag you in another thread

[cosmic steeple]

Ok

[cosmic steeple]

Hi

im here another time

hahah

i've been pretty bussy

i decided i will install omarchy on my pc, just omarchy, no dual boot, no windows

but now it still gives me an error jaajaja they dont want me to use omarchy

@merry plover

i think we have to talk... heheh

[merry plover]

what ISO and what error

[merry plover]

so make sure SATA mode in BIOS is set to AHCI then try again

[cosmic steeple]

ok

[cosmic steeple]

yeah it was AHCI

[merry plover]

looks like your ssd was busy with something

[cosmic steeple]

what can i do?

[merry plover]

format the disk

[cosmic steeple]

yeah i was going to say that

[merry plover]

press ctrl + c

[cosmic steeple]

from a live usb?

oh ok

[merry plover]

from this one

[cosmic steeple]

yeah from arch

what do i do?

[merry plover]

do you see root@archiso : ?

[cosmic steeple]

yeah

[merry plover]

do lsblk -f

[merry plover]

sudo umount /dev/nvme0n1p1

sudo umount /dev/nvme0n1p2

[merry plover]

then do cgdisk /dev/nvme0n1

[merry plover]

select each partition and delete them

[cosmic steeple]

Ok, done

[merry plover]

now do lsblk -f again

[cosmic steeple]

but after deleting should i press write or verify or something?

[merry plover]

press write yes

[cosmic steeple]

Ok oi

[merry plover]

awesome

now reboot and select the usb again

and in the setup choose the disk

as you did earlier

[cosmic steeple]

nice, thanks

[merry plover]

let's hope it does not error out again

should not but let's see

[cosmic steeple]

it didnt work...

[merry plover]

can you send me that log file?

press exit

then use iwctl to connect to wifi

do you know how?

[cosmic steeple]

yeah

im connected

[merry plover]

ok. run the command from the error and give me the link

OR

use archinstall now that you are connected

and select the options as described in the omarchy manual

[cosmic steeple]

but why archinstall? shouldnt i use omarchy?

[merry plover]

you will apply omarchy on top

[cosmic steeple]

ok ok, lets do it

[merry plover]

ok

https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-omarchy-manual/96/manual-installation

[cosmic steeple]

mmm it doesnt load the page

[merry plover]

also add git and curl to the install list

[cosmic steeple]

ok

[merry plover]

ok

let's see

mirrors select your country

[cosmic steeple]

im trying to open the omarchy manual in my laptop but it doesnt open

you are my manual 🙂

[cosmic steeple]

nice thanks

[cosmic steeple]

ok

when i go to aditional packages it crashes the installer

[cosmic steeple]

maybe the reason why omarchy page doesnt load for me its the same why that is happening?

[merry plover]

then something is wrong in the BIOS or the ssd has some kind of protection idk

[cosmic steeple]

nah that was working an hour ago

i've been installing arch all the day from archinstall

maybe if i try with an arch iso?

instead of omarchy's iso?

[haughty oasis]

After installing I am logging into arch hyperland can anyone please help me..

[cosmic steeple]

idk sorry i cant help

[cosmic steeple]

i boot the arch iso?

[merry plover]

ctrl + alt+f2 login into tty do an ls and delete the bash_profile file

then reboot

[merry plover]

sure. try with the archiso

let's see if that runs ok

[haughty oasis]

I clicked ctrl +alt+f2 then it's getting like this..

[merry plover]

[cosmic steeple]

profile? minimal?

[merry plover]

yes

[haughty oasis]

Finally came can you please help from here.

[merry plover]

do ls -ld

it will show a list of .bash_profile and .bashrc

delete those with rm .bash_profile

[haughty oasis]

It didn't reflected any bash file.

[merry plover]

try with ls -ld .*

[cosmic steeple]

ok, arch installed now?

[merry plover]

ok. so you got arch. good. now reboot

[cosmic steeple]

Why?

[merry plover]

@cosmic steeple enter your encryption password

is normal

[cosmic steeple]

Yeah

I know

It doesn't work

[merry plover]

you did set one in the archinstall yes?

[cosmic steeple]

Its impossible that i've wrote another passphrase i did it very carefully

[cosmic steeple]

Yeah, the same im writing here

[merry plover]

i'd say try again? idk what happened but if archinstall worked

now try the omarchy ISO again

[cosmic steeple]

Oh ok

I try with omarchy iso

[merry plover]

or reinstall arch again and set a numeric password like 12345

idk

i don't know if your keyboard is us or es or fr etc..

[cosmic steeple]

Its us

They keyboard and the keyboard layout on the archinstall is us

[merry plover]

try with the numpad if you have one

[haughty oasis]

Done removed the bash_profile

[merry plover]

and .bashrc

then reboot

[haughty oasis]

Okay.

Done but I don't know why it still logging into arch hyperland not into omarchy..

[merry plover]

i got a theory.

[haughty oasis]

Okay

[merry plover]

open a terminal and connect to the wifi

with iwctl

[iwd]# device list

[haughty oasis]

Done

[merry plover]

good

[haughty oasis]

Connected wifi

[merry plover]

curl -fsSL https://omarchy.org/install | bash

[haughty oasis]

I have done the same thing previously do I need to do it again?

This error.

[cosmic steeple]

ok, tried with omarchy and the same error shows

i will try another time with arch

[merry plover]

so you used the archiso and then applied omarchy right? did you make the efi partiton > 2gbs and selected limine with snapper as bootloader?

[merry plover]

i got some more troubleshooting to do if you can

[cosmic steeple]

ok

[merry plover]

ping me and we will get started

[cosmic steeple]

i ping you why?

[cosmic steeple]

ping you when what?

[haughty oasis]

Yes I made the efi partition of 4gb and selected limeline with snapper as bootloader

[merry plover]

when you want to try something else

[cosmic steeple]

im here

we can try whatever you want

[merry plover]

looks to me that the limine.conf was not written to /boot partition. can you ~cat /boot/limine.conf ?

[haughty oasis]

Ohh

[merry plover]

ok. go into the BIOS and check if INTEL Rapid Storage Technology is off?

[haughty oasis]

Can you guide me how to do that?

[merry plover]

you are now in the ISO yes? press ctrl + c then do cat /boot/limine.conf

as the disk should be mounted

[cosmic steeple]

i dont have intel processor i have amd

[merry plover]

check if AMD StoreM is off then

[cosmic steeple]

ok

[haughty oasis]

This is what I got..

[merry plover]

ok. so then you got the limine.conf there

try the curl command again

[haughty oasis]

I just rebooted it worked..

[cosmic steeple]

i dont see that option at the bios i dont think so

[merry plover]

ah. good

[merry plover]

question: did you use a passphrase starting with "-" or something?

[cosmic steeple]

no, just 5 letters

its very easy

it cant be easier so i dont understand

[merry plover]

ok.stay in bios a little

see if Legacy Boot is enabled

[cosmic steeple]

its not

its on UEFI

[merry plover]

go to power management

[cosmic steeple]

ok

im here

[merry plover]

see if the SSD has some sleep option enabled

what is the name of the motherboard?

[merry plover]

ok so it's not that

let's try booting back into the omarchy ISO

and stop the install with ctrl + c

and run a few commands

first lsblk -f

then cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/autosave (replace nvme0n1 with your SSD's device name)

[merry plover]

cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/autosave

[cosmic steeple]

It doesnt exist the directory auto save

[merry plover]

ok

now its a long one : create /etc/udev/rules.d/60-nvme.rules with ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="nvme", ENV{NVME_AUTOSAVE}="0"

[cosmic steeple]

Command not found create

[gritty sparrow]

U guys try to make dual boot?😭

[merry plover]

no

try cat /proc/mdstat

[cosmic steeple]

I was trying to do that, its not worth it my friend

[cosmic steeple]

That doesnt exist too

Just the proc

But the other directory not

[merry plover]

ok

do you have another SSD?

[gritty sparrow]

FML, I need it. Wiped of my omarchy because needed windows for some things now I want it back such a hustle wanna hit a hole in the wall with my head why is it so hard dude

[merry plover]

i've exausted all options here

[cosmic steeple]

No, i had one but a friend has it

[merry plover]

it's not hard. check yt for tutorial 🙂

[cosmic steeple]

But the problem of the omarchy installation its that it encrypts the partition and then it cant unlock it right?

Its like the problem i have with arch

[merry plover]

yes. seems so

[cosmic steeple]

I encrypt with passwords and then i csnt unlock it

Why is that

[merry plover]

try setting a passphrase using the numpad

instead

[cosmic steeple]

I dont have

Numpad

[gritty sparrow]

You have a link for me ? 🥹🙏 Looking into block posts reddit and stuff nothing works .

[cosmic steeple]

Link for what

[gritty sparrow]

This

[merry plover]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE0foLfYkfk

[merry plover]

ok. let's try numbers then. only numbers.

[cosmic steeple]

Ok

[merry plover]

no caps-lock on, no shift, nada

just numbers

if this does not work either

i am going to go to sleep

🙂

[cosmic steeple]

Step by step

Password just numbers

[merry plover]

ok

fingers crossed

[cosmic steeple]

Yeah you can go to sleep i will stay here to kill more brain cells

[merry plover]

it clearly says the issue is with the passphrase

[cosmic steeple]

Bro the passphrase was 12345

I cant with this...

[merry plover]

with ArchISO you succeded to install but then it won't recognize your password to open the disk

try with archiso again but without encryption

it's the only shot

if that does not work either

then buy a different SSD

i don't know what to tell you

[cosmic steeple]

It cant be problem with ssd if all other OS work

But thanks man

[merry plover]

sure

take care!

[cosmic steeple]

You are great guy good night

[merry plover]

sorry i could not do more

[cosmic steeple]

You too

[merry plover]

good night!

[cosmic steeple]

You did all you can

[merry plover]

Got a weird one

Try using a different USB port

it hit me when I brushed my teeth lol

use a 2.0 port

usb i mean

Instead of the 3.0 ones

[cloud sluice]

Everything appear right in the confirmation @cosmic steeple?

[cosmic steeple]

mmm ok but i think the ones in the fron of my pc are 2.0

[cosmic steeple]

Which confirmation

[cloud sluice]

The one right before install starts where it shows all of the information you entered

Just trying to rule out additional weird things

[cosmic steeple]

Mmm i think all was right, as like the photos i sent

Now im installing arch without encryption

[cosmic steeple]

I will try that if i can

[cosmic steeple]

Should i try that before installing arch without encryption

?

Wow

Now it just dont install its been there for 5 minutes

[cosmic steeple]

Arch installed without encryption

[charred dagger]

if you still having issues with installation try changing Storage SATA mode to AHCI in bios menu. If you can't find this directly in bios/menu you got to change some other config too.

[merry plover]

Did you received any errors?

[haughty oasis]

Hello everything.. Thanks for helping me....

Just a small bug or I don't know is it a bug or not...

When I lock omarchy, and try to enter the password again the keyboard is not working..

I have to press my power button for 5 seconds and hard restart again..

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug??

[merry plover]

are you using an external keyboard? and if yes is it plugged in when the system boots?

i noticed this bug too

a reboot fixed it

i'll see if i can devise a solution

[merry plover]

it's already set to ACHI. the issue is imho with the SSD. it does not accept encrytion and decryption.

[merry plover]

@cosmic steeple please report back if without encryption you were able to install Omarchy.

[cosmic steeple]

Already checked that that wasnt a problem i already had AHCI mode

[cosmic steeple]

All perfect for the installation i have omarchy, but now i have another problem its like all related to gaming doesnt work idk why

[cosmic steeple]

I was able without encryption

[merry plover]

maybe you need some dependencies

[cosmic steeple]

But now i have this problem that i dont understand

Steam doesnt open

Minecraft doesn't open

[haughty oasis]

No I am not using any external keyboard..

[merry plover]

https://github.com/nightdevil00/GamingLinux

[cosmic steeple]

No, i tried and it doesnt work

I have all drivers

All dependencies

[merry plover]

ok. raise on issue on GITHUB ig. what did you try to diagnose this issue?

[merry plover]

weird stuff. if you start steam from the terminal, what does it output?

[cosmic steeple]

Thats the problem, i doesnt show any output

[haughty oasis]

I just clicked on my power button for 5 seconds and then it rebooted and it works and again if I close my laptop and open the laptop physically then it stops working again..

[cosmic steeple]

After some tries claude AI said steam was running in background but i couldn't fix nothing

[merry plover]

so the issue is that when the laptop sleeps the keboard is not "loaded" again?

[cosmic steeple]

Ok, let me wake up from bed and i try that

[haughty oasis]

Yes

[merry plover]

ok. make a different ticket and tag me in. i am gonna go eat now

[haughty oasis]

But how to raise a ticket. 😅😅😅

[merry plover]

you go #1421152430242005043 and New Post

[merry plover]

Try running omarchy-reset-sudo next time you see this

[cosmic steeple]

did this

now what

[merry plover]

still does not open?

[cosmic steeple]

but i dont think it has to be with steam, the problem is the same for minecraft

[cosmic steeple]

nope

[merry plover]

so no game is running?

[cosmic steeple]

yeah

i installed kernel linux-zen

idk if that is important?

[merry plover]

why?

linux-zen-headers was also installed?

[cosmic steeple]

its better for gaming i;ve seen

[merry plover]

nvidia-open-zen too?

[cosmic steeple]

idk probably?

[cosmic steeple]

idk

i think i have propietary drivers for nvidia

[merry plover]

pacman -Qe > packs.txt

check

[merry plover]

yes

do a fastfetch

in terminal

let's see if this is kernel issue

[merry plover]

looks like steam is borked

there a lot of users
