did you install them?

#

Or are you using grub as your bootloader?

polar nimbus
#

it came w arch

final widget
#

No. No it didn't.

#

Arch doesn't come with a default bootloader.

polar nimbus
#

hmm

#

well maybe i put it in the optional pkgs

#

i cant remember

#

if i go to /boot/grub all its files were there, i was even able to use grub customizer on it

karmic nymph
#

grub is not a command and update-grub is a debian specific command

final widget
#

Maybe you should verify that you've installed it first. doubt And maybe you should look at the wiki.

karmic nymph
#

you will need to use grub-mkconfig

polar nimbus
#

and pamac shows it as installed

final widget
#

There's more than one bootloader lmao

polar nimbus
#

#

wtf

If grub-mkconfig doesn't exist, and you have grub installed, then your $PATH is incorrect or you're smoking shit/you're not using grub/etc.

#

So I'm going to say that you aren't actually using grub.

polar nimbus
#

idkkk

#

grub was there

#

its in the boot records in the uefi

final widget
#

UEFI is/can be its own bootloader.

polar nimbus
#

the "bootloader" whatever it is only came with arch, arch other boot tools and uefi

#

didnt even come with os prober

#

so it didnt have my widnows efi

final widget
#

Arch does not come with a bootloader. It does not have a default.

polar nimbus
#

no i mean

#

the options the bootloader had

#

had arch, arch other, and uefi settings

#

no windows boot manager

polar nimbus
#

how do i get it to detect and auto add windows

#

it wont because it refuses to use os-prober for some reason

#

ive tried to add it manually using grub customizer but it just says invalid EFI path

final widget
#

if you're using grub, then you need to run os-prober. At this current stage you've not said what "for some reason" is, so who knows.

polar nimbus
#

i tried to run it in grub cli but it said no command found

karmic nymph
#

have you enabled it in /etc/default/grub

final widget
#

Then you used it grannypeer That doesn't mean that it worked, and that doesn't mean that it was succesful in detecting windows, among other things.

polar nimbus
#

lemme see

#

it detected windows

#

ehen i ran it in my terminal

polar nimbus
karmic nymph
#

it's not a directory

#

it's a file

final widget
polar nimbus
#

oh i found the config

#

grub disable os prober is false

polar nimbus
#

oh eait

#

its commented

#

ok i enabled os prober... i think

#

let me reboot

#

it didnt add any new entries

final widget
#

I'm glad the complete complete documentation on the arch wiki was able to help you identify the problem when you searched it and discovered the detailed in there. Including the bit about running os-prober after enabling it in grub.

polar nimbus
#

well i did the thingies and grub mkconfig said it detected wbm

#

but

#

there are no new entjres in grub

#

wait

#

hold up

#

it worksss

#

ok

final widget
#

Yea. The documentation even mentioned that if you get the warning you should uncomment the line, and the error message said it wouldn't be used grannypeer
