blazing jackal Aug 10, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

how far have you gotten?

balmy anchor Aug 10, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

chroot

#

i set up swap

#

#

and root

#

stiff yacht Aug 10, 2022, 6:51 PM

#

blazing jackal Aug 10, 2022, 6:51 PM

#

actually looking at it again i think ur fine

#

we can figure out timezone stuff after u boot into ur new install

balmy anchor Aug 10, 2022, 6:52 PM

#

doing the localization rn

#

or whatever it's called

blazing jackal Aug 10, 2022, 6:52 PM

#

just saying tho, video install guides arent rlly recommended since they can get outdated pretty quickly

balmy anchor Aug 10, 2022, 6:53 PM

#

this one was released in september 2021

blazing jackal Aug 10, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

that's like a year old now

balmy anchor Aug 10, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

is it outdated tho?

stiff yacht Aug 10, 2022, 6:55 PM

#

maybe

#

no one's going to spend the time to check

#

if it works, fantastic, if not, use the wiki 👍

#

i promise it only seems hard at first

balmy anchor Aug 10, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

i want to go thru the pain that our ancestors went thru in ww2

#

and install arch manually

#

i want to be a fully-fledged i use arch, btw

#

would i still be a fully-fledged i use arch, btw if i use a script such as ArchTitus?

stiff yacht Aug 10, 2022, 6:58 PM

#

you have the right to say that you use arch regardless of how you install it

#

but manual installing is the recommended way to go about it

#

if you want an install script, as previously mentioned, archinstall is the only supported script

#

by us anyway

blazing jackal Aug 10, 2022, 6:59 PM

#

& by the official arch forums

stiff yacht Aug 10, 2022, 7:00 PM

& non arch users

basically everyone

plus non-human entities

#

#

stiff yacht Aug 10, 2022, 7:20 PM

#

our recommendations are going to be to try again from scratch

#

either follow the wiki or use archinstall

#

do you use wifi or ethernet btw @balmy anchor

balmy anchor Aug 10, 2022, 7:21 PM

#

ethernet

#

which do i choose?

stiff yacht Aug 10, 2022, 7:22 PM

#

doesn't matter lol

#

that one will do

balmy anchor Aug 10, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

@stiff yacht BIOS or UEFI?

stiff yacht Aug 10, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

UEFI usually

#

think of UEFI as BIOS 2.0

balmy anchor Aug 10, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

ok

stiff yacht Aug 10, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

unless, you know, you actually need accuracy. i don't think you need accuracy though.

balmy anchor Aug 10, 2022, 7:26 PM

ok, stop ignoring us first of all

#

or we are all literally wasting our time with you

#

when you boot into the iso

#

if you read your screen

you will see info about archinstall

you execute archinstall

it guides you through the installation

it's that simple

there isn't a lot more to this - it just is what it is

if you choose against archinstall, i'm leaving.

edit pacman.conf

idk how to install the vmware tools but yes, you have to reboot your arch guest so it loads the kernel modules

#

be sure to have the kernel headers installed

balmy anchor Aug 11, 2022, 7:23 AM

also how do i change theme

because i feel like cinnamon was a bad choice

it should change the resolution

tbh I use more vbox and virt manager as those auto adjust the resolution

should i tamper with these?
